DRX9000 NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

Description of Event or Problem

WENT IN FOR SPINAL DECOMPRESSION FOR MY BACK. BULGING DISK L3-4. WAS LED TO BELIEVE THAT THIS TREATMENT WOULD HELP TO LOWER MY PAIN LEVEL SO I COULD SIT, STAND AND DRIVE. IT DIDN'T WORK, HAD 26 SESSIONS. THEY SAID IT WAS FDA APPROVED. I HAD SURGERY FOR A DISC PROBLEM IN (B)(6) 2009, L4-5, L5-S1. I HAVE 6 SCREWS, 3 ON EACH SIDE OF THE PROBLEM AREA. I WAS FOUND RECENTLY THAT I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH L3-4. I HAVE A VERY HARD TIME SITTING, STANDING AND DRIVING. I TAKE PAIN MEDS, NORCO. WHEN I MET DR (B)(6) AND HIS STAFF FROM (B)(6), THEY LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR SPINAL DECOMPRESSION MACHINE WOULD HELP ME TO ALLEVIATE MY PAIN AND DISCOMFORT. I HAD TO GO FOR 24 TREATMENTS, ALONG WITH ADJUSTMENTS AND THAT IT WOULD DO THE TRICK. BECAUSE I WAS NOT GETTING ANY RELIEF, DR (B)(6) HAD ME TAKE A WEEK LONG PRESCRIPTION OF PREDNISONE, THAT HELPED FOR 2 WEEKS, THEN THE PAIN WAS RIGHT BACK. A FEW WEEKS LATER, HE HAD ME GET AN EPIDURAL, THAT LASTED A WEEK. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE RELIEF THAT DR (B)(6) AND HIS STAFF SAID I WOULD GET FROM THE SPINAL DECOMPRESSION MACHINE. I LIVE ON PAIN MEDS AND LIVE IN TERRIBLE PAIN WHENEVER I TRY TO SIT AT WORK, SIT ON MY COUCH, SIT IN MY VAN OR PRACTICALLY SIT ANYWHERE. I CAN'T STAND FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME. I WENT TO ALL OF THE TREATMENTS THAT WERE SUGGESTED AND ACTUALLY HAD TO DO A FEW MORE UNTIL THE LAST ONE WHICH ACTUALLY HURT TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO HAVE THE MACHINE TURNED OFF. ALL OF THIS TREATMENT COST(B)(6). THE INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER IT AND I HAD TO PAY MOST OF IT UP FRONT AND AM STILL PAYING.
