At some point in a person’s life, he
will spend time in a hospital and
have to transition home after recovery.
For seniors, this is a common
occurrence and one that can be particularly
troublesome. A little planning
can make the process easier on the patient
and the caregiver:
Plan early. Learn when the discharge
date will be and fi nd out what
will be needed at home. Talk with
hospital staff about which equipment
can make recovery at home easier. A
caregiver may get recommendations
on nearby medical-supply stores and
other vendors that can provide what’s
needed, such as visiting nurses.
Rearrange the home. Certain
things at home may need to be changed
depending on why the person was hospitalized.
Individuals with crutches or
in a wheelchair may need extra space
made in the home to travel safely. If the
patient normally sleeps upstairs, a bed
may need to be set up downstairs instead.
Ramps may need to be installed
over stairs as well.
Make a list. Keep a master list of
important phone numbers, including
the doctor and the local pharmacy, so
that it is easy to contact the person in
BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY
DRX9000TM
RELIEVES BACK PAIN
COURIER L 36 IFE, FEB. 15–21, 2019 DT
11242
Surgeons perform an estimated 300,000 to 400,000
back surgeries every year. Annually, neurosurgeons
perform at least 100,000 operations for lumbar disc
disease alone, and orthopedic surgeons perform a
similar number. It is estimated that between 20% and
40% of these operations are unsuccessful.
That is why doctors from all over the country
are racing to acquire and get trained to operate the
DRX9000TM, an FDA approved device that is saving
thousands of Americans suffering from chronic back
pain from going under the knife.
Dr. Melinda Keller, who treats serious back
pain without surgery explains how the DRX9000TM
works... “Over 10 years ago, NASA began to notice
an unexpected result of space travel: Astronauts that
left with back pain would come back without it. After
investigated this now phenomenon here’s what they
found: During the anti-gravity state of the mission there
were decompressive forces on the intervertebral discs
and back pain was relieved. How? When you travel
through space, the effects of gravity are removed
and you are in a weightless state. All the pressure is
taken off your spine and discs. Even better — and
this is the key — a negative pressure is created. This
negative pressure actually sucks the herniated material
back into the disc and allows it to heal. Thanks to the
DRX9000TM, disc herniation sufferers finally have a
non-surgical solution.”
The main conditions the DRX9000TM has documented
success with are back pain, sciatica, herniated
and/or bulging discs (single or multiple), degenerative
disc disease, facet syndromes and a relapse or failure
following back surgery.
Anyone wishing to learn more about this new
FDA approved solution to back pain or to set up an
appointment for a free consultation call Dr. Keller’s

case of an emergency.
Expect extra costs. Some procedures
may be covered by health insurance,
while others may not. Family
members may have to rally together
to offset costs for medical care outside
the realm of insurance.
Get help. Many family members
want to be the sole caregiver for a parent
or spouse who has left the hospital.
But the demand of around-the-clock
care can sometimes be overwhelming.
Caregivers should not be embarrassed
to ask for help, even if that means hiring
a professional. Providing the best
care for the patient should be the priority.
Patient support. The newly discharged
patient may have mixed feelings
about being at home and fawned
over. Therefore, caregivers should
tread lightly to develop a strategy that
works well for everyone.
