Spinal Decompression, Toledo

In the past, back-pain sufferers would have to rely on drugs and surgery for relief. With the introduction of the FDA-cleared DRX9000; there is now another option that doesn't involve grueling surgeries or ineffective medication called spinal decompression. Dr. Kevin Sweeney, DC and his staff at the Toledo Spine Care Center specialize in this advanced treatment.

The DRX9000 works by using spine force technology; a state-of-the-art technology used to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica. This procedure targets the lumbar region of the spine: the region that is responsible for carrying most of the body's weight. It has proven most effective in lumbar disc related problems since the DRX9000 was introduced in 2001.

The DRX9000 has been proven effective in relieving pain associated with:

- Herniated Discs
- Bulging Discs
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Sciatica
- Relapsed or Failed Spine Surgery
- Other Lower Back Ailments

Dr. Sweeney also offers the DMX, or dynamic motion x-ray, which aids in the accurate diagnosis of spinal problems. The DMX is an imaging system that allows the doctor to visualize the internal and external movements of the body or biomechanics at the same time, making it very unique as opposed to other X-ray systems. The DMX objectively demonstrates ligament instability. It is one of the best and most cutting-edge systems available for diagnostic imaging.

Dr. Sweeney and the Toledo Spine Care Center will take the time to sit down and explain your options after properly accessing your case and history. Through only the latest technologies, they carefully review your spine with the aid of X-rays, MRI's, CAT scans, myelograms, discography, EMG's, as well as bone and bone density scans. At the Toledo Spine Care Center their priority is to relieve their patients of pain as efficiently as possible.
