Lumbar Degeneration… What can I do??


Have you been told you have arthritis in your back, lumbar degeneration? … And then told, “There’s nothing you can do.”
Well, there actually is something you can do. What typically happens with lumbar degeneration? The lumbar discs flatten and bulge. Much like a flat tire, the discs flatten allowing there to be more nerve pressure.

One newer treatment that has shown to help is spinal decompression. The drx9000 creates a stretch with much much more force than traction, however, you hardly feel a thing. The drx decompression actually keeps the muscles relaxed when creating a stretch. This is vital to create a suction effect in the disc space. Essentially, there is a pull in the up and down direction and a suction effect from the sides, pulling the disc back in where it has bulged out.

So, if you have low back pain or sciatica because of arthritis in the low back, try drx9000 spinal decompression.

“I don’t have any Neck Pain, Should I still buy the Traction Pillow?”

Your answer is: yes … and here’s the reason: you really shouldn’t wait for pain to happen, you really need to prevent it from occurring in the first place.

This is the tricky thing with misalignments and pressure on our nervous system. Most don’t know this, but the majority of our nervous system doesn’t detect pain. What this means is that one can have pressure on their nerves and not even know it’s there.

What happens if you keep pressure on nerves?

The nerves start to break down and then you’ll have pain! The real key is not to get to this point.

So, let’s make a long explanation short: “Get the pillow to maintain your neck alignment and keep the nerves free of pressure!”
