DRX 3000
The DRX 3000 was designed by a specialized
team of engineers at Axiom Worldwide to meet the
needs of today's patient, offering physicians the
clinical outcome they desire and patients the
quality of life they deserve. With our focus on
innovation, Axiom is committed to utilizing the
latest cutting-edge technology to improve the
quality of life for those suffering from
herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and
other back ailments. Our expert team consists of
engineers who designed for NASA and the US
Department of Defense. We take pride in
announcing that DRX 3000 is the most successful
non-surgical modality today on earth.

DRX 3000 Facts

• FDA approved
• Designed by neurosurgeons and medical
• engineers after 15 years of research
• Treats Disc Herniation, DDD, Facet Syndrome
• and Sciatica with studies revealing an 86
• success rate
• Creates a negative intradiscal pressure of up to
• -200mm Hg
• Allows the disc to be reoxygenated,
• rejuvenated, rehydrated and renutrified
• Reduces discal scar tissue
• Is comfortable and affordable with most

HOW IT WORKS
Computerized Automation The patient is first
fitted with the harness and then the patient
stands on the Hi-Low system and reclines
horizontally to a supine position. The system
begins with the table in the vertical position.
Their weight is automatically calculated and
imputed into the computer when the patient steps
onto the system. The computer then tells the
technician the exact pressure of treatment to use
on the patient.

HOW IT WORKS
Next the lower lumbar belt pelvic harness is
fitted and molds to the iliac crest. Located
below the pelvic harness is a pneumatic pump and
air bladder system. It is this air bladder that
maintains the lordotic curve and acts as a
fulcrum to the angle of pull. Now, the pull is
the key to the DRX 9000s technology because the
pull is generated on a logarithmic curve.
Logarithmic Curved Pull Research indicates that
by using a logarithmic curve, proprioceptor
response is avoided. Therefore, there are no
muscle spasms, allowing for decompression in the
targeted lumbar disc to occur. Patients remain on
the system for 30 minutes, daily for the first
two weeks and three times a week for the
following two weeks.

How It Works
Angled Decompression


The DRX technology uses angled distraction
specific to each lumbar intervertebral disc
segment, applying about 80-90 of pull to a
single disc segment, resulting in more effective
reversal of the
disease process.
In addition the software in the DRX program
creates an intermittent disc distraction, a major
key component in restoring discal hydration and
health.

Treatment Program
1. Patients will receive a daily
pre-decompression myofascial release using
vacuum/interferential current treatment for
minutes with heat application for twenty
sessions 2. Set the angle for treatment according
to MRI findings to target certain level lumbar
disc 3. Set the initial weight 10 lbs less than
half body weight 4. Patients will be positioned
on the DRX3000 for 30 minutes. Regimen to include
two weeks of daily treatment, followed by three
sessions a week for two weeks, concluding with
two sessions a week until therapy is completed
(individual protocol may vary with patient
progress). Weight is raised in increments of
5-10lbs per session first three sessions as
tolerated in order to target one half the body
weight plus 10-20 lbs 5. After each treatment
the patient to receive interferential therapy and
cold packs to consolidate paravertebral
muscles 6. Re-exam after each five session to
monitor patient progress. Increase or decrease
pressure according to patient diagnosis,
progress, and response to therapy. Multiple
levels of herniations can change the angle of
treatment. Target primary herniation first and
then change angle to the next smallest herniation
14
Treatment Program
7. After ten treatments, patients who have
improved by 50 are instructed on different
lumbar stretching exercises to be performed in
conjunction with treatment 8. For those patients
who have not improved by 50 after ten
treatments, consider a. Facet nerve block
injections b. Trigger point injections c.
Refer for surgery 9. After treatment protocol or
significant improvement of patient's symptoms,
patient will be put on a strengthening and
rehabilitation program for about 4-6 weeks to
help strengthen the paravertebral musculature. In
addition, an after care program can include the
use of tens, cold packs, exercise, relaxation
training, walking techniques, and posture 10.
Patient to return one month after treatment for
evaluation and follow-up

REIMBURSEMENT
Note The non-surgical decompression performed
utilizing the DRX3000 system should not be
confused with manual traction. The forces and
manner in which they are applied are far
different than those in manual traction. One of
the most important notations in the studies and
reviews of non-surgical decompression is that
conventional spinal traction was less effective
and biomechanically insufficient for optimal
therapeutic outcome, I.e. regular traction does
not produce decompression. Recommended
Charge The recommended charge for a DRX 3000
would be a national average of 153. Treatment
protocol is 20 treatements over four-six weeks.

• DRX 3000
• DECOMPRESSION
• 1. Negative intradiscal pressure
• as low as -200mmHg
• 2. Clinical studies show 86 success rate
• 3. Strong distraction force
• (half of body weight... 20lbsmax.150lbs)
  
• ---Target specific disc levels
• 4. Avoid proprioceptor response
• ---Logarithmic pull
• ---Biomechanical design
• 5. Lorgarthmic pull performed on
• state of the art controller technology

traction 1. No negative intradiscal
pressure as high as 90mmHg 2. No studies to
traction works ( US gvt
revealed no efficacy) 3. Non- specific
distribution ---Only 4-5 of the force is
applied to each vertebra 4. Porprioceptor
response which creates muscle spasm 5.
Linear pull which recruits paravertebral
muscles 6. Uncomfortable for patient

• On December 8, 1994, the Agency for Health Care
  Policy and Research (AHCPR) of the US Department
  of Health and Human Services released Clinical
  Practice Guidelines for the management of acute
  low back pain. Their guidelines were developed
  after extensive study of diagnostic and treatment
  methods for acute low back pain. The guidelines
  were created by the AHCPR panel to provide
  primary care clinicians with information and
  recommended strategies for the assessment and
  treatment of acute low back problems. The AHCPR
  panel was made up of 23 members consisting of
  medical doctors, chiropractic doctors, nurses,
  experts in spinal research, physical therapists,
  an occupational therapist, a psychologist, and a
  consumer representative.
• The panel found no evidence of benefit from the
  application of physical agents such as traction

another breakthrough in Axiom Worldwide's
commitment to providing the most effective
solutions for medical practitioners worldwide.
Our system provides a comprehensive approach to
