  1. Advancing Medical Technology Axiom Worldwide is constantly working on research and development to ensure that practitioner's have the most modern andmost effective technology for Non-surgical Options available to date.     Our team of specialists have combined proven scientific methodology with the latest technological developments, achieving advanced principles of treatment with a higher degree of efficacy. We have assembled a specialized team of engineers whose product designs meet the needs of today's patient, offering physicians the clinical outcome they desire and patients the quality of life they deserve

  2. 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.

  3. 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 • insurers covering the treatments

  4. 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.

  5. 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 9000’s 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Decompression, Reduction and Stabilization Science

  8. DRX 3000 Studies have shown the DRX 3000 therapy to be 86% effective in relieving low back pain, which may include: ruptured or herniated disc, degenerative disc disease , and facet syndrome. MRI studies before and after

  9. DRX 3000 RESEARCH Studies have shown the DRX 3000 therapy to be 86% effective in relieving low back pain, which may include: ruptured or herniated disc, degenerative disc disease , and facet syndrome.

  10. Study Results: • 219 Patients Treated • 86% Success Rate

  11. 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 Treatment Program

  12. 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

  13. 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.

  14. 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... +20lbs…max.150lbs) • ---Target specific disc levels • 4. Avoid proprioceptor response • ---Logarithmic pull • ---Biomechanical design • 5. Lorgarthmic pull performed on • state of the art controller technology • 6. Very comfrortable for patient • - fall asleep • traction • 1. No negative intradiscal • pressure as high as +90mmHg • 2. No studies to traction works • ( US g’vt 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

  15. 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…

  16. DRX 3000C The DRX3000C is the first non-surgical decompression system cleared by the FDA for cervical decompression. This technology marks another breakthrough in Axiom Worldwide's commitment to providing the most effective solutions for medical practitioners worldwide. Our system provides a comprehensive approach to the successful treatment of cervical pain, one of the most recognized problems in healthcare. COMING SOON
