DRX9000

Spinal decompression on the DRX9000 involves application of forces logarithmically to elongate the spine without causing the muscles that guard the spine to contract.  The technology required to apply spinal decompressive forces is very advanced.  Engineering research and development efforts involved in the evolution of the DRX9000 system have been ongoing since 2001!

The DRX9000 system utilizes high-speed treatment computers to calculate the logarithmic spinal decompression treatment curve for each patient.  A servo-motor/servo-amplifier (“servo-motion system”) takes the logarithmic curve and applies the forces to the patient.  The servo-amplifier constantly checks (several thousand times per second) and corrects the servo-motor’s movement.  Measurement devices inside the DRX9000 monitor changes in decompressive force experienced by each patient.

All of this data is constantly fed back into the treatment computers.  The treatment computers constantly calculate corrections and ensure the therapy is true to each patient’s logarithmic curve.  The constant monitoring, measuring, and correcting process is called a Nested Closed-Loop Feedback System.  This methodology is one of the hallmarks of the DRX technology suite.
