Many patients that have been told they need neck surgery, are choosing to try cervical decompression with the DRX9000c first…why? Well, because neck surgery is much more risky than nonsurgical decompression, and the outcomes are not all that great. Plus, you cannot undo a cervical fusion.
Once you have a cervical fusion, other treatment options are limited. And, you will never know if cervical disc decompression with the DRX9000c would have worked…because you are now disqualified from treatment. We can’t perform decompression to a permanently fused spinal segment.
I once had a retired surgeon beg me to perform the treatment. The surgery had failed. He said he would have the hardware removed. He could only sleep upright…it was very sad.
I guess the point I am trying to make is that you can always have neck surgery. If nonsurgical cervical decompression fails to deliver results you are still whole and can try other options…including surgery.
The DRX9000c isolates on the specific areas of involvement and does the following:
- Enlarges the disc space
- Stretches the spinal ligaments
- Repositions the herniated disc
- Re-hydrates the injured disc
- Strengthens the spinal muscles
Does the DRX9000c repair every cervical disc herniation it treats? NO…just most of them.
Will the DRX9000c help you? Maybe…but you have to qualify for treatment first and be willing to follow through with home care and exercises. Believe it or not…some would rather have surgery. Here…you fix me mentality.
Chances are if you are reading this blog you are searching for a nonsurgical solution for a herniated or bulging cervical disc. If so, you may have found it.

Never did it occured to me that once I had undergone a surgery that I can no longer opt for this treatment. Good thing I read this blog of yours. It certainly saved me from living a life full of regrets.
I sincerely extend my gratitude for informing us the pro’s and con’s of having and not having the aforementioned treatments. I am now considering Cervical Decompression with the DRX9000c. Thank you!
You’re right on that one doc, the “you fix me” mentality is a dangerous one.
This is for real. I can lay my name on the line because my sister has sharp pains back then but now it’s all gone. All thanks to this treatment.
