Non-surgical decompression, guided by Dr. Tsai at Advanced Acupuncture

What it is

Non-surgical decompression, guided by Dr. Tsai

The DRX 9000 is a computer-controlled table that applies precise, cycling traction to the spine. As the pull releases pressure inside the disc, it creates a negative pressure effect that can draw bulging or herniated material back toward center and encourage nutrient-rich fluid back into the disc space.

Under the care of Dr. Tsai, DRX 9000 sessions are built into a broader plan - often paired with acupuncture or laser therapy - rather than used as an isolated machine treatment.

Our process

Five simple steps

What to expect during your session

Sessions are calm and comfortable - 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
  • About 30-45 minutes per session
  • No downtime - resume normal activities right after

How does the DRX 9000 actually relieve pain?
The table applies precise, cycling traction to the spine. This reduces pressure inside the disc, which can:
  • Pull bulging or herniated material back toward center
  • Draw nutrient-rich fluid back into the disc
  • Take pressure off compressed nerves
  • Improve 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?
It depends on how long you have had the condition and how severe it is, but typically:
  • A full course runs 15-30 sessions
  • Sessions are often scheduled 2-4 times a week at first
  • Frequency tapers down as symptoms improve
What conditions is it used for?
Herniated and bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, sciatica and other nerve pain caused by disc compression, and chronic back or neck pain that has not responded to rest. See the full pain conditions we treat.
Is the DRX 9000 safe?
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 itself adjusts to your tension automatically rather than applying fixed force.
Will I need surgery if this does not work?
Not necessarily - that is a decision between you and your physician. DRX 9000 is one non-surgical option many patients try first, and Dr. Tsai will be direct with you about whether your case is responding or whether further medical evaluation makes sense.
