Whether caused by tech neck, whiplash, or sleeping in an awkward position, neck pain can make it challenging to perform daily activities. It can also diminish your quality of life. If you’re struggling with persistent discomfort due to herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, or other cervical spine issues, cervical DRX offers an effective, non-surgical solution.
Conditions Treated and Benefits
Cervical DRX effectively improves range of motion and addresses multiple neck-related issues:
- Herniated or bulging discs that cause persistent pain and limited mobility
- Degenerative disc disease affecting cervical spine function
- Chronic neck pain from facet syndrome or whiplash injuries
How Does It Work?
The DRX system uses precise, computer-controlled decompression technology to create negative pressure within the cervical discs. “This gentle traction helps retract herniated disc material and reduces pressure on irritated nerves,” shares Dr. Becky.
What to Expect During a Session
Each session begins with a patient lying on the DRX table using a specialized headrest designed for optimal comfort and effectiveness. “The system then delivers precisely controlled traction cycles, alternating between varying levels of force, typically lasting about 30 minutes per session,” shares Dr. BJ.
Most patients report the experience as comfortable and relaxing. Treatment plans typically span several weeks, with many patients noting improvement within the first few sessions.
Some Important Considerations
Before beginning cervical DRX, it’s important to discuss your medical history and determine if this treatment is right for you. One of our chiropractors can assess your condition and make sure it’s a safe option for you.
Those with recent spinal surgery, severe osteoporosis, or spinal instability may need to look into other treatment options.
It’s also important to note that there are some possible side effects from this therapy. Some patients report mild soreness, muscle tension, or headaches after treatment. The good news is that these effects usually subside quickly.
