           Treatment
 
We have had remarkable success with both acute and chronic low back pain conditions. We specialize in the treatment of disk herniation, degenerative disk disease, facet syndrome, sciatica, SI joint strain and related problems. Our multi-faceted approach includes treatment with the DRX 9000, a system designed to provide static, intermittent and cycling distraction forces at specific spinal segments.
 
DRX9000   - The only proven Non-Surgical Treatment for Serious Back Pain -
Back saver DRX9000
The DRX9000 was designed by a specialized team of engineers at Axiom Worldwide to meet the needs of today's patient, offering physicians the clinical outcome they desire and patients the quality of life they deserve. With Axiom's focus on innovation, They are committed to utilizing the latest cutting-edge technology to improve the quality of life for those suffering from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and other back ailments. Their expert team consists of engineers who designed for NASA and the US Department of Defense.

DRX9000With a majority of the population experiencing back pain at least once in their lifetime, lower back pain is the most common ailment facing healthcare providers today. In the past physicians were faced with limited resources for successful treatment. With the age of technology and the low success rate of surgery, patients have become more educated to alternative treatment for back pain relief This changing trend is evident by the billions of dollars spent each year on alternative healthcare.

Throughout the development and manufacturing process Axoim has continued to make exhaustive efforts to ensure the quality of their hardware and software scientific proven techniques were at the core of the creation of the DRX9000. By combining technology and science, Backsavers can offer patients an effective alternative to surgery.

           Chiropractic BioPhysics
 

Form Follows Function:
Your body is perfect – by design. The human spine, able to with-stand large forces and yet capable o great flexibility, is an incredible marvel of engineering.
At rest, the model spine consumes practically no energy to support an upright standing or sitting posture, and if properly maintained, could easily last 120-150 years with minimal degeneration, or arthritis.


The ideal shape of the spine represents an amazing balance between all the forces of nature that constantly challenge us – such as compression, tension and shear. How efficient we are at resisting these forces is directly related to our health.


The graceful symmetry of this structure also maximizes both its strength and mobility. The human form is an expression of the functions we perform everyday.

The arc in the neck, as seen from the side view, provides leverage for the muscles which move the head.


From the back or front view, the spine is a straight column, for greater stability against gravity.

- Straight column
- Good stability

- Distorted column
- Poor stability



Abnormality in Form:
Distortion of the spine is epidemic today. Due to the overwhelming and repetitive forces of modern life (as shown below), the spine becomes misaligned and malformed.

As a car’s tire wears down when misaligned, so does the spine. This process is called osteoarthritis.


Normal
Abnormal


Subluxation (misalignment):
Dislocation, commonly of the shoulder, refers to a bone out of joint. Subluxation, or”less-than” dislocation, ids a bone out of place.
Subluxations frequently occur in the spine. Abnormal posture reflects groups or units of spinal subluxation.
Spinal subluxations create great stress to the spinal cord and nerves through increased forces of tension, compression and electrical irritation. The result is a reduction of nerve energy, or life force, and a loss of normal body performance.


About Symptoms:
We have been taught to rely on how we feel to determine how healthy we are. Unfortunately, by the time you have a symptom it means there has already been abnormal function and an accumulation of tissue damage. For instance:

- In 40% of people having heart disease, the first symptom is death from heart attack.
- Many terminal cancer patients have no pain or symptoms until the late stages.
- Significant degeneration of the spine can occur without symptoms.


Remember, if you rely on symptoms, or already have some, your health could seriously be in jeopardy.



Correction of the Spine:
Chiropractic Biophysics reacquaints the body with the normal structural dynamics for which it was designed. Correction of postural distortion and subluxation involves reforming the spine, as close as possible, to the normal model through a series of specific adjustments and exercises.

When the vertebrae and supporting muscles are brought into balance, normal function is restored and further degeneration is prevented. The full force of nerve energy is returned. Good posture and a healthy body are the benefits of a “spinal orthodontics” program.


Summary:
The human spine is designed to efficiently resist large physical forces while maximizing muscular strength and spinal mobility.

Bad postural habits, accidents and injuries deform the normal shape of the spine. Subluxation (misalignment) and spinal degeneration (arthritis) result.

Subluxation creates great stress to the spinal cord and nerves, muscle imbalance and diminished body performance.

Chiropractic Biophysics restores normal body mechanics and function by remodeling the spine through a program of corrective adjustments, postural exercises and postural awareness.

Subluxations are detrimental to your health, regardless of whether or not you have symptoms.




Mirror Image Self Check:

Instructions: stand squarely in front of a mirror, feet slightly apart. Relax arms. Close eyes, nod head “no” and “yes”, stop at center. Open eyes without moving and check posture. Commonly a combination of postural distortions is found. Circle your posture:
