I consider drx to be marketing hype, to be polite. It is a fancy, overpriced traction machine, period. Sold to doctors with marketing that some consider unethical if not just a scam. Fact is, decompression traction is helpful for many. I have been using it in my practice for years with mostly great results. The word great is used because many patients have some relief with the first one or two visits. Few patients have needed anything close to 20 visits. Costs and payments are simple. Since it is a traction device according to the FDA, the charge is for traction. Most insurances cover traction at an affordable fee. If your provider is charging for something other than traction to put you on decompression, you should probably question that and leave. Never pay for such treatment in advance . There are too many scammers out there. drx has been sued across the country so I stay far far away from them and their providers.
