Has anyone had herniated disc treatment with the DRX9000 decompression
I have a herniated disc (L3 left side) and had laparoscopic surgery in 1999 with good results until 2005 when it herniated again. The MRI showed scar tissue along with the herniation and I was advised that surgery would be risky due to scar tissue and nerve tissue looking similar to a surgeon and resulting in accidental nerve damage. I read about the DRX9000 spinal decompression treatment and decided to have treatments. I had 27 half-hour treatments over 2 months' time and the pain is completely gone. Today, March 2025, no return of pain. I hope this helps somebody else with severe debilitating pain.

What was the origin of the herniation and pain in the beginning....some disease or accident?
Overworked
Wear and tear
@heisenberg34 Cost is around $3-5K. Refunds?!?! What are you even talking about? Do you ask your Dr for a refund? Your dentist? Your PT? Literally....what are you talking about? You sound very anti-Chiro, so I'm not sure what help you're offering on this topic. Do you even understand what a hernia is, how it's treated, and what the options are? If so, then you'd think perhaps understanding that going the surgical route is not in everyone's best interest and doesn't solve the problem. Neither does PT. BTW, there are many known issues with PT overbilling patients, they bill half of it, don't tell the patient, then send further bills after the fact. Check out TCO reviews. So, by all means, continue to be a troll and get whatever you get from that, which is frankly sad of you but I'm sure you have zero shame. For anyone else looking for treatment, yes, this is an option to get spinal decompression, yes you have to pay out of pocket for it because the insurance industry is a giant scam, and yes it does provide relief to many people. Does it fix everyone? No. Does it require surgery that doesn't permanently fix the problem? No. Either way, you're going to be paying money, so it's up to you to decide to use it towards something that can actually treat the root of the issue, or you can go cut portions of your disc off and continue on your way, which could have plenty of side effects and/or you end up needing surgery again down the road. As for this troll, quit being a dick. Seriously. No one cares about your grievances and you're a dick.
@minnesotaman I am only sharing my personal experience that me to decide not to pay the high cost. Online reviews are mixed. More negatives than positives. That is a red flag for me. I'm sorry that you have taken offense to my post.
