Jupiter Healthcare is proud to offer the latest technology of non-surgical treatment for serious chronic lower back pain and sciatica. Our commitment to offering the highest quality of care resulted in the addition of the FDA-cleared DRX9000 Spinal Decompression technology for the treatment of back pain due to:
• Low Back Pain, unilateral or bilateral
• Sciatica or Radiating (leg and foot pain and numbness)
• Post-surgical patients with failed back syndrome
• Cervical (Neck) pain and related symptoms (Accu-spina Decompression)
In the past, a patient suffering from disc problems was given pain medications, instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they weren’t progressing they were sent for spinal surgery. Conservative chiropractic care proved very helpful in many cases, yet there have been some cases when surgery seemed to be the only other option… until now.
You don’t have to live with that pain anymore. Thanks to the concerted efforts of a team of top physicians and engineers, Spinal Decompression was developed to effectively treat lower back pain and sciatica resulting from herniated or deteriorated discs. Spinal Decompression not only significantly reduces back pain in many patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.
Does Spinal Decompression really work?
Spinal Decompression has been proven effective in relieving the pain associated with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and even relapse or failed back surgery. Since its release, clinical studies have revealed an amazing success rate in treating lumbar disc related problems with Spinal Decompression.
How does it work?
Spinal Decompression uses a patented FDA-cleared therapy device (facilitated by a computer and monitoring device). This enables the doctor to gently, safely and precisely put tension on the lower back to create a negative pressure inside the disc. This negative pressure creates a vacuum effect that actually draws the bulging or “slipped” material back toward the center of the disc.
The treatment is fast, generally painless and most patients actually find it relaxing. The negative pressure also draws fluids into the disc, helping it rehydrate and heal. This rehydrating of fluids in the disc will help in decreasing your pain and help allow you to function again.
What are others saying?
“I have never met a doctor and staff in my time that truly cares about his patients as much as Jupiter Healthcare! After my football career I had to have both of my knees replaced. Then came my low back issues-two bulging discs- and about a dozen Epidural shots. Finally after coming to your office and receiving spinal decompression and physical therapy, I can walk with about 85% less pain. It took 20 sessions with very little expense and now I have a much better quality of life. A miracle man is treating patients at 125 Indiantown Road in Jupiter, and I feel great! You and your staff are a true credit to society.” ~ Ted M.
“Dr. McErlain is awesome! I have a herniated disc that I aggravated on Sunday. I could not walk without assistance. I was in a lot of pain. I saw Dr. McErlain on Monday and I was able to walk again and my pain had diminished! It is now Thursday and I am feeling 85% better and I know I will only continue to get better as I continue with his treatments. I cannot thank him or his staff enough. Everyone there is so professional and kind.” ~ Tracy W.
