Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive therapy for the relief of back pain or neck pain caused by bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, sciatica nerve pain, and spinal stenosis. Improving on traditional traction therapies, spinal decompression is the result of concerted efforts of a team of top physicians and medical engineers. The therapy not only significantly reduces back pain in many patients but also enables the majority of them to return to more active lifestyles. Many of these patients may have had to endure back surgery if it wasn’t for the pain relief provided by non-invasive decompression therapy.

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Non-invasive decompression therapy is a computer-controlled, motorized treatment that works by gently stretching the spine. This changes the position and the force on the spine, taking the pressure off the spinal discs which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine. As a result, bulging or herniated discs can retract, relieving the pressure on the nerves and other structures in your spine. This helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.
The computer-controlled treatment motion provides gentle and painless decompression of the injured spinal discs. Decompression therapy slowly separates the vertebrae, alternating between brief periods of pulling and relaxing. This reduces the protective muscle spasm that contributed to the poor success rate of outdated ‘traction’ techniques.
Decompression therapy incorporates advanced angulated elongation methods to target specific discs of the spine. “Angulated Elongation” refers to the angle at which the healing decompression force is applied. These methods rely on using less decompressive force to focus on a single segment of the spine as opposed to a high level of force that separates multiple segments all at once. This allows for the rehabilitation of individual spinal discs.
Does Spinal Decompression Really Work?
Yes, it does! Spinal decompression has been proven effective in relieving the pain associated with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, sciatica nerve pain, and spinal stenosis. In some cases, it has even provided effective relief from the pain of relapsed or failed back surgery. Since its release, clinical studies have revealed an amazing success rate in treating lumbar disc related problems with spinal decompression.

How is Spinal Decompression Administered?
In my practice, spinal decompression therapy is offered using the DRX9000, which is designed to provide pain relief for compressive and degenerative injuries of the spine. Using the DRX9000’s measurement devices, changes in decompression forces experienced by each patient are monitored. All of this data is constantly fed back into the treatment computers. The treatment computers continually calculate corrections to ensure the therapy is true to each patient’s logarithmic curve.
To prepare for decompression therapy, the patient is fitted into a support system to stabilize the body. Next, the advanced traction control system of DRX9000 gently pulls the spine without pain or discomfort. In addition to being safe and painless, decompression therapy is also comfortable and relaxing. Some patients have even fallen asleep during treatment!
In addition to the DRX9000, I provide treatment for the relief of neck pain caused by compression of the cervical spine with the DRX9000C. Using cyclic forces, it works in conjunction with the DRX9000 to decompresses intervertebral discs, providing relief of the pain associated with herniated, protruding and bulging discs as well as degenerative disc disease and posterior facet syndrome.

The DRX9000
At Manahawkin Pain Relief, we use the DRX9000: a cutting-edge spinal decompression device designed to alleviate back pain and improve spinal health. It has recently been featured in a groundbreaking study led by Nathan Schilaty, DC, PhD, at the University of South Florida, aims to evaluate the efficacy of the DRX9000 in treating patients with chronic back issues. Their first study compared over 270 patients treated with the DRX9000 to a control group from the University of Florida. Although the final data is still being processed, here are some preliminary findings:
-
Before receiving treatment on the DRX9000, most patients were recommended for surgery.
-
After treatment with the DRX9000, the vast majority of patients were able to avoide spine surgery.
Patient Testimonials
I am a patient coming from the Middle East specifically to handle the issues I have in my lower back with Dr. Lerman’s DRX9000 machine. It was the best decision I made by reaching out and booking sessions with the doctor. I recommend this machine and no other, this is the only machine that significantly improved the pain in my lower back and neck. "
"Having gone through 2 spinal surgeries and still having major issues with sciatica and back pain, I was simply out of options... or so I thought! Reed explained his decompression treatment with me and I began with great trepidation and low expectations. After several weeks I began seeing results and now after several months I am 98% pain free! I am out of the woods and expect a full recovery shortly."
"Dr. Lerman definitely saved my back! I had a herniated disc before and the spinal decompression helped me dodge surgery. So, when I felt like I herniated the other side I knew I had to find someone that offered spinal decompression. I dodged another back surgery! Dr. Lerman joked that my back would be feeling better before my MRI was approved and scheduled- he was right!"
"About a year ago i started having painful symptoms that eventually was diagnosed as sciatica. After multiple trips to the ER and Doctors office with no relief I was referred to Dr. Lerman's office. Within ten days i was back to 100%. I was amazed and so thankful, not only for the pain relief he had given, but also for the way he explained everything that was happening in my body and how we were going to fix it."
