- Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is changing the healthcare paradigm because it offers a non-drug and non-invasive solution for patients that are suffering. This outpatient procedure is a gentle, specific, and safe alternative to spine surgery. Crossroads Brain & Spine utilizes state-of-the-art DRX-9000 technology to treat spinal-related conditions, such as herniated/bulging/protruding discs, spinal stenosis, and many radiculopathies like sciatica. The American Academy of Pain Management recognized in 2007 that after just the initial two weeks of treatment on the DRX-9000, patients reported 50% less pain. After six weeks of treatment, patients reported a success rate of 88.9%.
- This cutting-edge technology offers spine care physicians a non-pharmacological, non-surgical, non-invasive treatment to improve the quality of life for patients. Patients now, more than ever, are seeking conservative options for chronic pain.
- Often, patients were subjected to physical therapy, pain medications (opioids), cortisone injections, epidural injections, spinal cord stimulators, and invasive spine surgeries. The reality is that spine surgeries have a much lower success rate than other treatment options.
- Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is the leading option for doctors who want a non-invasive solution for neck and back pain. With a historically high success rate, more patients are turning to this treatment. Patients are often diagnosed with bulging discs, herniated discs, protruding discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica, with limited treatment options until now.
- Dr. Michael Lea was nominated as a Top 5 Decompression Doctor by a committee of his peers due to his clinical expertise. He is an industry-leading doctor with a proven methodology that helps patients live on their own terms.
- Intervertebral discs are damaged due to the compressive forces of the body and gravity that are constantly going on. Studies from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and the University of South Florida continue to show how this technology can reverse these compressive forces and thus relieve the pressure on nerves, causing numbness, burning, or tingling. The spine cannot be decompressed unless the pressure gradient inside the actual disc is reversed. This is why many treatments are unsuccessful in treating disc conditions like bulging discs, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica.
- When the event of spinal Decompression does occur, intervertebral discs are rehydrated and allowed to heal. This mechanism has been proven time and time again, which is why specialists at the Mayo Clinic choose non-surgical spinal Decompression for their patients.
- Dr. Michael Lea has completed thousands of treatments and has an incredibly high success rate.
- The McClure Study conducted by Dennis McClure, MD, is the hallmark research paper that shows a success rate of 88%-92% amongst patients who completed a non-surgical spinal decompression treatment protocol. This treatment is used by so many specialists across the United States because it is FDA-cleared, and there are relatively no risks associated with it.
- During treatment, patients are lying in a comfortable position while the DRX-9000 does all the work for them. It slowly stretches the spine without causing the muscles to stretch, which significantly decreases intervertebral disc pressure. This gentle stretch happens in a rhythmic cycle, allowing oxygen, water, and nutrients to enter the disc. The DRX-9000 uses artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure the safety of the treatment by monitoring biofeedback 13x per second.
- Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a proven, FDA-cleared treatment that is a highly successful option utilized by specialists all over the United States.
Testimonials
Very fortunate my wife found Dr. Lea at Crossroads Brain & Spine. Dr. Lea and his staff are exceptional, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. I’m still going through my treatment program, but the progress I’ve made is amazing. Having been through surgery for disc issues before, I wish I had known this specialized treatment was possible without surgery or any drugs. Thank you Dr. Lea and team for the life-changing work you do!
