Dr. Melinda Keller of
the Brooklyn Spine Center
has been treating patients
with chronic back pain for
36 years.
She has heard it all from
patients who come to her
as a last resort, after they
have tried pills and injections.
Yet, despite these
treatments, they are still
suffering. They can’t sit
and do computer work for
their jobs. They can’t bend
to pick up their grandchildren.
Many can’t sleep at
night because the pain is excruciating.
Their quality of
life is so diminished, many
consider surgery to be their
only option.
But Dr. Keller provides
them with another alternative:
non-surgical decompression.
She utilizes
the DRX-9000 (pictured
right), a state-of-the-art device
that helps restore spinal
discs back to optimal
health. The machine gently
stretches the spine so that
pain subsides. As a result,
pressure on the nerves is
released. “It accelerates
the natural healing process,
and offers an effective
alternative to risky spine
surgery, painful injections,
and prescriptive medications,”
says Dr. Keller.
The results are based on
scientifi c evidence. “Post-
MRI results reveal actual
physical improvement to
the health of the spinal disc
in approximately 90% of the
cases,” says the doctor.
D.R.X. stands for Decompression
Reduction Extraction,
and the DRX -9000 is
the best quality and most researched
decompression device
on the market, she says.
The system is manufactured
by Axiom Worldwide, and is
Food and Drug Administration
approved. This technology
allows Dr. Keller to
apply a controlled amount
of traction to specifi c parts
of the spine, gently easing
the pressure off of patients’
injured discs. Keeping discs
healthy is important. “Discs
are responsible for drawing
fl uid from the body that carries
nutrients and oxygen to
the spine,” says Dr. Keller.
“The spine needs these nutrients
to stay strong.”
The procedure is noninvasive,
and patients do not
feel any pain when undergoing
the treatment.
The only
thing they may
feel is a gentle
tug to the spine
as the machine
works to ease the
symptoms associated
with herniated
discs, degenerative disc
disease, and sciatica. While
this is taking place, patients
are lying comfortably on top
of the machine’s cushioned
table. The treatment takes
place slowly and gradually,
so that patients are relaxed
and stress-free.
Some patients report
feeling a sense of relief right
away, as the machine can offer
immediate relief to the
pressure on their discs. Several
DRX-9000 treatments
are usually needed to obtain
lasting results. Dr. Keller
will discuss the timeframe
with each patient, outlining
a treatment plan that’s
based on individual needs.
Each session lasts about 45
minutes, providing time for
the DRX-9000 to lengthen
and stretch the spine, as
it reduces pressure to the
nerves.
Good spinal health is essential,
says the doctor, as
it can mean the difference
between staying active and
being bed-ridden. Some patients
come into the offi ce,
and they can barely walk.
If left untreated, what will
their spines be like when
they age? “Half of all babies
born in the year 2000
or later, can expect to live
to be 100 years old,” says
Dr. Keller. “We are already
living longer, but we have
to live better.” Keeping our
spines functioning at 100%
prolongs quality of life.
More than 900 insurance
companies cover chiropractic
care, and the warm staff
at the Brooklyn Spine Center
will make a courtesy call
on your behalf to see what
your plan offers. The staff
is compassionate, upbeat,
easy-going, and available to
help.
