DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression
DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression in Hollywood, FL
The DRX 9000 is a computer-controlled, FDA-cleared spinal decompression system that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and pinched nerves. Dr. Tsai runs it at Advanced Acupuncture on Johnson Street. Sessions take 30 to 45 minutes and involve no surgery and no injections.

What it is
What is the DRX 9000 and how does decompression work?
The DRX 9000 is a computer-controlled table that applies precise, cycling traction to the spine. Releasing pressure inside the disc creates a negative pressure effect, which draws bulging or herniated material back toward center and encourages nutrient-rich fluid back into the disc space. A session takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Decompression addresses four disc-related problems: herniated and bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and the sciatica or radiating nerve pain those conditions cause. Dr. Tsai builds DRX 9000 sessions into a broader plan, pairing them with acupuncture or laser therapy rather than using the table as an isolated machine treatment.

Our process
What happens during a DRX 9000 session?
A DRX 9000 course runs in five steps: consultation, assessment, treatment plan, the decompression sessions and follow-up. Each session takes 30 to 45 minutes, and a full course runs 15 to 30 sessions depending on how long you have had the condition.
2
Assessment
Dr. Tsai identifies which discs and nerve levels are involved.
3
Treatment plan
A personalized decompression schedule is built around your condition.
4
DRX 9000 sessions
You lie comfortably as the table applies gentle, cycling traction in a calm environment.
5
Follow-up
We measure your progress and adjust frequency as pressure and pain ease.
Your session
Who is spinal decompression for, and what does it feel like?
Spinal decompression suits patients with herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, spinal stenosis, chronic low back pain, neck pain from disc compression, or nerve pain radiating into the arms or legs. The pull is gentle and cycling, never sudden force.
What to expect during your session
Sessions are calm and comfortable, and most patients read, rest or simply relax while the table works.
- A harness secured comfortably around your hips and trunk
- Sensors that detect muscle tension and adjust the pull automatically
- A gentle, cycling stretch - no sudden force
- 30 to 45 minutes per session
- No downtime - resume normal activities right after
Conditions the DRX 9000 addresses
Decompression is used for disc-related back and neck pain that has not responded to rest alone.
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Back Pain that is chronic and low
- Neck & Shoulder Pain from disc compression
- Neuropathy radiating into the arms or legs
Benefits
What does spinal decompression change?
Decompression changes the pressure on the nerve, the route you take to relief, and the disc itself. Taking pressure off compressed discs and nerves gives the body the room it needs to heal.
01
Pressure off the nerve
Cycling traction reduces the compression that drives sciatica and radiating nerve pain.
- Reduced nerve pressure
- Less radiating pain
- Gentle, controlled pull
02
A drug-free path
No surgery, no injections and no medication - mechanical decompression and time to heal.
- Non-surgical
- Drug-free
- No downtime
03
Support for the disc itself
Negative pressure inside the disc draws fluid and nutrients back in, supporting long-term disc health.
- Disc rehydration
- Improved alignment
- Long-term support

How does the DRX 9000 relieve pain?
The table applies precise, cycling traction that reduces pressure inside the disc. That drop in pressure does four things:
- Pulls bulging or herniated material back toward center
- Draws nutrient-rich fluid back into the disc
- Takes pressure off compressed nerves
- Improves overall spinal alignment
Does spinal decompression hurt?
No. The pull is gentle and controlled, and sensors adjust automatically to your muscle tension, so the table never forces a stretch you are not ready for. Most patients find sessions relaxing.
How many sessions will I need?
A full course runs 15 to 30 sessions. The number depends on how long you have had the condition and how severe it is:
- Full course: 15-30 sessions
- Early frequency: 2-4 times per week
- Frequency tapers down as symptoms improve
What conditions is it used for?
Herniated and bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and chronic back or neck pain that has not responded to rest. See Pain Management for all 10 pain areas the clinic treats.
Is the DRX 9000 safe?
Yes - it is an FDA-cleared, computer-controlled system used under clinical supervision. Dr. Tsai reviews your history and imaging before recommending it, and the table adjusts to your tension automatically rather than applying fixed force.
Will I need surgery if this does not work?
That decision sits between you and your physician. The DRX 9000 is one non-surgical option patients try first, and Dr. Tsai tells you directly whether your case is responding or whether further medical evaluation makes sense.
