I don't know much about spinal decompression.
I wonder if there are many discussions on non-surgical spinal decompression.
I ought to take advantage of the 'search' feature at top of page and see.
I will do just that.......
In the meantime, if anyone has any input on this, I'd be very grateful...

It is approved as a traction device by the FDA. I have seen ads where you can sign a 2 or 3 month contract with a DRX9000 practioner for $5000+ (cash out of pocket - insurance typically does not cover this when it is called spinal decomression therapy and illegal for the doc to call it traction just to get paid)
or...
you can get the same thing (IMO) without all of the fancy lights attached to it at a PT or conventional chiropractic office for about $35 per visit, usually reimbursable by insurance (plan permitting).
