spinal decompression

According to the National Institutes of Health, lower back pain is one of the most significant and common health problems facing Americans today.  Just over 85% of all people have back pain at some point in their lives, making it the most frequent ailment that limits the activities of persons under the age of 45.

Dr. Erik Roach DC, is able to offer patients a highly effective, non-surgical solution to this growing health concern. He is capable of doing so with new technology that is storming the Chiropractic world.


More than 10 years ago, NASA was the first to investigate the effects of spinal decompression on intervertebral discs during space travel.  In an anti-gravity state, astronauts were relieved of their low back pain and disc height actually increased.  The question then became how to successfully reproduce the environment here on Earth.


Axiom, a medical manufacturing company located in Tampa, Florida, has used scientific principles and the latest technological developments to successfully simulate an anti-gravity state.  Using their specialized team of physicians and medical engineers, they developed a system that could decompress cervical and lumbar discs, relieving pressure on spinal nerves caused by disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and posterior facet syndrome.


With the DRX9000 system’s advanced computerized technology, Dr. Erik Roach DC is now able to offer patients an efficacious treatment for low back pain.  Proprietary software records daily treatment and accurate patient monitoring that complies with HIPPA regulations.  The automatic shoulder support system helps stabilize the patient’s upper body.  The DRX9000 automatically adjusts to the proper angle of distraction, as a lordotic bladder system acts as a fulcrum to the angle of which it pulls, which allows targeting specific lumbar discs.  The distraction forces utilize logarithmic loading to avoid proprioceptor response, which would create muscle spasm.  The split-table design decreases friction and allows separation of the vertebra, minimizing the effect of gravity.

Patients can typically undergo a series of up to 20 treatment sessions, with each session lasting about 30 minutes, depending on diagnosis.  Before treatment, the patient is heated up using heat and myofascial release for about 15 minutes, especially when muscle spasms are present.  Following a session, cold packs are applied.  Clinical studies found 86% of treated patients were healed.


The DRX9000C is the first non-surgical decompression system cleared by the FDA for cervical decompression. Our system provides a unique approach to the successful treatment of cervical pain, one of the most recognized problems in healthcare.

  • 4 Tips to Eat a Healthier Diet to Melt The Fat Off
    4 Tips to Eat a Healthier Diet to Melt The Fat Off There is not a person on this planet that wouldn't mind losing a little or a lot of weight. If you want to lose the pounds that you not only have to exercise but you most importantly have to eat a healthy diet and that should be straightened out first. I hope this article gives you a little outline of some healthy changes you can do.1. Make sure to eat at least some healthy fats in most of your meals, yes there is a thing as healthy fat. It helps with fat burning and keeps up your muscle building levels. Another benefit of eating healthy fats is that it helps keep your hunger under control. The healthiest sources of dietary fats are raw
    nuts, seeds, egg yolks (from organic free range eggs), avocados, extra virgin olive oil (highest antioxidant content of olive oils), coconut oil (a great source of healthy saturated fats in the form of medium chain triglycerides), and peanut flax which you can find in organic peanut butter.2. Try to eat a high quality protein sources with each meal and snack that you eat. Quality proteins such as chicken, fish, steak or grass-fed meats, grass-fed raw dairy, and even from plant sources such as nuts and beans provides good appetite suppression so you can control your calorie intake easier.Getting enough quality proteins helps you to build lean muscle, if that is your goal. Your metabolism can
    run at a higher rate from the increased lean muscle on your body.Eating enough protein at most of your meals also helps your body in controlling blood sugar and insulin levels by helping to slow the breakdown of ingested carbohydrates.3. Low-carb diets can be beneficial depending on your goals, I do believe that one of the main reasons that so many individuals struggle to lose weight for most of their lives is due to eating excessive processed carbohydrates such as refined grain-based starches and refined sugars on a daily basis.Natural sugars in whole fruits and berries are okay because the fiber in fruits helps to slow the blood sugar response in your body. Just make sure to avoid fruit
    juices, which are mostly sugar and have the fiber removed in processing the juice.When people start to minimize their grain consumption (from cereals, bagels, breads, pasta, etc), they start to lose body fat much easier. What we usually recommend is for people to minimize eating grains and focus their carbohydrate intake on fruits and vegetables solely. This simple step alone usually helps people to start managing their weight more easily and properly.4. You must begin an exercise routine. Even if it is only a 20 min. walk. You must burn more calories than you take in if you want that body fat to melt off. By adding an exercise routine I can promise you that you will lose those pounds
    quicker than others who don't exercise.Try to implement these 4 tips for eating a smarter and cutting the fat with a healthier diet and I'm willing to bet that you'll start to see a leaner body and more energy in no time. ... by Administrator

  • Orlando Chiropractor Patient Reveals 7 Simple Tips On How To Successfully Reduce Lower Back Pain
    Orlando Chiropractor Patient Reveals 7 Simple Tips On How To Successfully Reduce Lower Back Pain   First of all, one of the concepts that I have learned as a patient was that in order to successfully treat your low back pain I had to realize that it cannot be done with pain pills or any type of muscle relaxers. They may slow down or stop the symptoms temporarily. But if the cause is not focused or corrected, the damage will continue. It may even get worse because you cannot feel the pain signals your body is trying to give you. To give you a little background knowledge, it can be difficult to find exactly what the exact cause of your lower back pain is, even with today technology. At the
    center of our back is the spine, with a sophisticated inter linking of vertebrae and various bones. The spinal column itself is supported by a complex array of muscles and ligaments. Any type of shift in your spinal column alignment causes the muscles to tighten up and go into spasm, making the muscle work continuously, which is just nature's way of protecting itself.My chiropractor has helped many patients in the Orlando, FL area to successfully treat various types of pain and I am sure he is always asked if there is a popular strategy or immediate cure. Unfortunately there is no magic bullet or one exercise that will cure your pain. I know that is not what you want to hear but fortunately
    all it takes is a little consistent effort and with this these helpful tips you should begin to feel some pain relief.1. If you drive, pay really close attention to how you get in and out of the car. Sit down facing the door and swing both legs into the car together. If you are going on a long distance road trip, be sure to take breaks often and walk around a bit.2. Walking is one of the best exercises you can do to help relieve back pain. A recent study found that a group of low back pain patients who did 3 hours brisk walking per week had less pain and distress than a group who were given specific low back exercises. 3. Consider doing some simple stretches to improve your overall
    flexibility and help relax those over tight muscles. Your healthcare practitioner should be able to advise you which ones are best for you. A popular one is called a cat stretch.4. Always focus on keeping your back straight when lifting, no matter how light the object may be. If you are in serious pain, I would suggest not lifting anything at all until pain area improves.5. Perhaps it is time for a new mattress. Over time a hole or indentation begins to form where you sleep. This causes a dip in your mattress which causes your back to sleep in a curved angle. If finances are tight, try just flipping your mattress over.6. If you are in terrible pain try lying on your back, on the floor, with
    your feet and lower legs up over a chair. Place a pillow under your head and try to relax by taking deep breathes. Try to put your mind in a calm setting.7. With more people spending time in front of computers, try focusing on keeping your back straight when seated at all times. You would not believe how many people sit slouched over with their backs curving way out of proportion. For example, look at yourself right now as you read this article. I bet you were unconciously slouching a bit and you just now forced yourself to sit straight up. Consider purchasing a new computer chair where your back is always straight where you can lean against the back of your chair which will naturally prop
    your back up straight.Always seek medical help if your pain increases. Better to get it treated immediately than wait it out and hope for the best.Once you know what is wrong you can begin to focus on rehabilitation. Usually there are many options to explore including surgery, Yoga or Pilates, and of course Chiropractic Care. The information in this article are not immediate cures but friendly suggestions of what you can begin to do in order to help reduce lower back pain. There are different solutions for different people and you should seek your own Chiropractic help ... by Administrator
