Has anyone had herniated disc treatment with the DRX9000 decompression

I don’t know where or how to start a new topic conversation si I’m posting here.I have some mild to moderate osteoporosis in my spine, femoral neck, and hipsAnd also degenerative discs L4 and L5 mostly. I came across a therapy called DRX decompression disc therapy. Is it safe to do in my condition? Does it help replenish the liquid cushion between discs! Does it fix it permanently or when stopping the therapy it goes back to the prior condition?Any information would be appreciated.

@meri8181 - wanted to let you know I've moved your post here so that you could talk to others talking about a very similar topic to yours:

Hoping that here you can chat with @artcantell @swamplady @willgranger1127 and others, who may have some insights on the safety of this therapy with your osteoporosis, how it impacts the liquid cushion between the discs and whether it fixes things permanently.

I had a semi-hmmilaminectomy (sp?) done in 1988, I think it was. Here it is 38 years later and I’m still walking around with very little pain, but do have neuropathy. I had a nerve conduction test done a couple of months ago and do have some nerve damage in that leg which causes my left foot to “foot-drop” when I walk. It’s not a problem, but is noticeable to me.
I have used a tilt-table since the mid-90’s to pull out the vertabrae and help with overall back health. That seems to have helped a lot. Ten minutes at night works. Incline of 45*. No need to hang upside down like a bat.
I recommend the surgery, if the disc has ruptured as mine did. If it’s just bulging, I recommend the tilt-table first. Also check your posture and lifting technique. I hope this helps.
My best !

Well I actually have stenosis I do have degenerative disc disease but I think the stenosis is the main culprit of my pain. I tried looking for one of those is it called a inversion table? I guess I could still try it wouldn't hurt. And what was that procedure you had done? They say I need fusion surgery cuz I have a spondyosysis I spelled that wrong but I'll try those tables if I can find one. Is there one that you recommend?

@annie1
Teeter Hang-Ups are good. Mine is old and I doubt it’s still made. I don’t know if it will help with stenosis. I have a bit of that.you know, I’ve been taking OPC3 for 20 + years. It helps with small vessel blood flow and may help with pain. I have been taking it to ward off macular degeneration, which runs in my family. That may help. Check it out on Shop.com.
Stay positive! 😄

@willgranger1127
Is OPC 3 or whatever you mentioned?

@annie1027
OPC means oligomeric pros to cyanidine. The main “3” are grape seed extract, pine bark, and red wine extracts, plus some other stuff. It’s made by Gatorade actually. I’ve seen electron microscope videos of how it helps blood flow. Amazing stuff. You might want to try it for six months.

Where do they sell it ? I hate using Amazon......I wonder if they would sell it in my local very well stocked health food and vitamin store. I will ask. Otherwise where do you get it ?

@meri8181 I visited a place back in 2022 called Disc Centers of America. It was run by a chiropractor. He said decompression therapy could solve all my problems. Not covered by insurance and would cost $9000. He had a finance company all set to help me out. Just sign on the dotted line. Anything sound fishy? It sure did to me... too many red flags. I passed. Be very careful if you see any such red flags.
