How to Choose a Spinal Decompression Center in Orange County, CA
Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 is responsible for getting thousands of Orange County back pain and sciatica sufferers out of pain and back to their active lifestyles, quickly, safely and without acupuncture, chiropractic, drugs, shots, or surgery.
There is no shortage of spinal decompression facilities in Orange County, CA these days. The problem many back pain and sciatica sufferers face is which office to choose. Who will honestly evaluate me and tell me whether or not this will work for me? Who has the most experience? How much does it cost? Does insurance cover my treatment? Lastly, who can I trust?
First, who is a good candidate for spinal decompression?
Let’s face it, spinal decompression may be very successful, but it isn’t for everyone. So, right up front you need to know if you are a good prospect for this new procedure.
The only way to know is for you to be carefully evaluated by a doctor who specializes in spinal decompression therapy. If your doctor doesn’t specialize in this area, then they have no idea. And a good specialist worth his or her salt can’t honestly tell you unless he or she has actually examined you. So a specialized exam and a review of your x-rays and MRI films are crucial.
What kind of experience should a decompression doctor have?
Next, before you put your painful back into the hands of a doctor, you need to be certain he or she has the experience and training necessary to help you. They should be able to cite some form of certification or training that qualifies them to treat you. They must be well trained, but also have a lot of procedures under their belt. What’s more, they must have a lot of “successful” procedures under their belt.
But how would you know that? Can’t a doctor just make up statistics? Yes, they could. So you need to look at other sources of validation such as testimonials. Does the doctor have numerous testimonials specifically from successful spinal decompression cases? Another form of validation would be to look for books, articles, seminars, etc produced by the “expert.” Face it, on the internet there is a lot of hype–marketing. Look for someone who has posted lots of actual educational materials. It’s likely this person knows his or her stuff.
How much does it cost?
In today’s current economic climate, cost is a big factor. But is it the only factor? The most expensive programs are around $7,000. Are these programs better? Not necessarily. In fact the more expensive programs are being pushed by heavy marketing by persons with less training, less experience and less sophisticated equipment. These higher priced programs often include ancillary services that do not necessarily add more real life benefits, but do add cost to the program.
And what about the really cheap programs? These are oftentimes offices using very low tech methods and equipment and re-branding it as “spinal decompression.” Or they are offices that are using spinal decompression as a passing fancy to make a quick buck and are not wholly committed to providing this service. They may be around today, but what about tomorrow?
The bottom line on cost is, it should be a reasonable fee and it should be freely given to you on paper listing all the services and the cost of each service for you to review.
Does insurance cover my treatment?
This is intimately related to cost. Most decompression offices in Orange County, CA will tell you insurance does not cover at all or claim that it is covered very well even by Medicare. These are statements that clearly shade the truth.
Here’s the truth. A spinal decompression program includes the decompression itself, which is generally not covered by insurance since there really is no accurate insurance code for it yet. There are other services such as physical therapy modalities such as heat, ice, EMS, exercises, office visits, etc. that are included as part of a program that are a necessary and beneficial part of spinal decompression. These are typical services that ARE covered by most PPO insurance policies to varying degrees.
The amount your insurance will cover is all up to your individual insurance policy. If it has many limitations on physical medicine there is little an office can do to change that. For example, if you have an HMO (or a PPO that has very restrictive coverage for chiropractic; in essence the chiro coverage is HMO coverage, even though your medical is PPO) then you will have very little to no coverage unless your provider is an HMO provider. Good luck finding and HMO provider offering the latest medical technology like spinal decompression. That just doesn’t fit in with the cost cutting philosophy of managed care plans.
An important note about Medicare: 99% of decompression programs are delivered by DC’s (Chiropractors). Under Federal Medicare rules DC’s are only reimbursed for spinal manipulation (adjustments) and only at about $30 each. They will not pay for exams, x-rays, or therapy of any kind. So if an office says “Yes, Medicare covers our program…” run. It is quite likely they are engaging in monkey business to get paid.
Lastly, who can I trust?
You need to know who to trust. That’s a question for your gut to answer. Yep, the good ol’ gut check is probably your best tool to know who to use for this important medical procedure. Your gut tells you when something seems right. It will also tell you when something is wrong.
As with any complex medical procedure, you should check out the office, doctor and staff prior to engaging their services. You should feel comfortable there. After all, the average spinal decompression program is between 20-24 sessions. Since you will be spending so much time there you must feel comfortable.
Orange County, CA spinal decompression facilities are on the rise. The question is, which one to choose? For more information and more detailed answers to the questions raised in this post, go to How to Choose a Spinal Decompression Office in Orange County, CA
Orange County Car Accident Back Pain Info
by Auto Accident Specialist Dr Barry Marks, Chiropractor Orange, CA 92868
Back Pain due to Car Accidents
If you are having back pain as the result of an auto accident injury, in addition to the information on this blog, go check out my auto accident specific site at http://occaraccident.wordpress.com
While whiplash neck injuries are more common after a car crash, low back injuries also occur with great frequency. Low back pain due to low back disc herniation or disc bulges are not uncommon. Many crash victims note their back pain comes on gradually and is delayed sometimes by weeks or even months, which is often due to discs being injured and slowly breaking down.
Back sprain is the most common type of lower back injury after a car crash and is characterized by pain at the junction between the lower back and tailbone that causes pain to be felt running across the lower back. This involves injury of the facet joint ligaments and cartilage and misalignment of the affected spinal bones. With proper chiropractic treatment, most of these cases will resolve in time.
Pain that does not resolve, worsens or begins to run into the buttocks or down the leg is a sign that a disc was most likely injured and has slowly failed. Symptoms like these require an MRI for evaluation of the discs and nerves and recovery will be much slower. Treatments such as DRX9000 spinal decompression may be successful at rehabilitating the injured discs and relieving the pain. Failure of that to cure the lower back pain, surgery may be the next option.
Lower back pain is a fairly common occurrence after a car accident. Proper evaluation and treatment are crucial to return the spine to normal and to avoid chronic pain.
Spinal Decompression for Back Pain Special Offer
Orange, CA
For many severe low back pain sufferers, DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy is a Godsend. Without the risks of shots or surgery, and with results proven out over several years with thousands of satisfied patients, back pain sufferers who’s past treatments have failed have New Hope.
But as with any new technology, Hope is hampered by the reality of the marketplace. This hot new therapy procedure carries a steep price tag. Making matters more difficult, many services are not covered by health insurance. So, with costs ranging between $5,000 and $9,000 and little help from insurance, many back pain and sciatica sufferers are priced out of the market.
One Orange County, CA Spinal Decompression specialist has, however decided to change his business model to allow greater access to this very successful back pain and sciatica treatment.
As a leader in DRX9000 Spinal Decompression therapy in Orange, CA since 2005, Dr Barry Marks has a strong following of happy patients who have been saved from surgery and nagging chronic pain.
“The DRX9000 has changed the lives of hundreds of my patients,” reports Dr. Marks. “The problem is that during these tough economic times there are more people who cannot afford this treatment compared to those who can. The Orange County, CA economy is very grim. People are having a hard time making their financial commitments, so a high price tag service like decompression must take a back seat to essentials.”
Dr. Marks realizes many of the people who would benefit from this procedure need it to be able to get back to work or stay functioning at work so they can weather this economic down turn.
“I want to make sure that if there are people out there that need this, I want to lower the cost threshold enough so that they can take advantage of this powerful treatment.”
For a limited time and for a limited number of patients, Dr. Marks is offering his complete Enhanced DRX9000 Spinal Decompression program that regularly costs $5,297 for only $2,497. That’s more than half off. Offer limited to first 5 callers and expires on Oct 16, 2009 at 6 pm.

Severe back pain sufferers who have been diagnosed with disc herniation, bulging discs or degenerative disc disease have a viable option besides shots and surgery. Spinal decompression with a DRX9000 is quickly becoming a popular alternative to traditional medical treatment for lower back pain.
But many potential patients wonder what spinal decompression is all about. Is it safe? Is it painful? Who can recieve this therapy? What does the machine look like?

“An Imporant St. Patrick’s Day Message to Back Pain & Sciatica Sufferers from a Concerned Leprechaun…”
Hello,
Let me introduce myself. My name is Shamus and as you can plainly see, I am a Leprechaun.
I’m writing to you for purely selfish reasons. See, with the economy getting a little soft…okay, yeah it stinks for lots of people out there. Well because of that, you would not believe how many people have resorted to looking for pots o’ gold. Namely, my pots o’ gold!
Think about it. Every time you see a beautiful rainbow across the sky it’s a direct road map to my pot! Then every hooligan in Orange County comes snooping around. A few years ago, nobody bothered. But nowadays everyone’s looking for my gold!
I’m tired! It’s hard to lug around that pot, find a hiding place and then dance around trying to distract gold seekers. So I had a great idea.
I know Dr. Marks, you know, “The Professor of Back and Leg Pain” guy? Well he did me a favor a while back and his spinal decompression machine did wonders for my sciatica, so I owe him. I used to be all hunched over and had a limp; some people actually thought I was a troll! Embarrassing…after Dr. Marks fixed my back and leg I can run, jump, carry heavy pots and even play tricks again. It’s great, but with all the gold seekers out there these days, I don’t want a relapse, so…
I decided to do something that will pay him back, help you out of pain and most importantly, help me take it easier.
It’s a “win-win-win…”
So here’s the deal; I gave some of my gold to Dr. Marks so that he can give you a discount on spinal decompression. That way less people will be chasing me around, Dr. Marks will stay busy and you’ll get rid of your back pain or sciatica like I did.
How much gold you ask? …
First, he’ll throw in his Complete Spinal Decompression Qualification Evaluation valued at over $250 for FREE to see if you qualify for care.
Then, $500 for each of you! That’s right; he’ll take $500 off any decompression program thanks to my generous donation.
But there is a catch…or two….hey what did you expect? I’m a Leprechaun!
Here they are:
The offer expires on St Patrick’s Day, March 17th at 6:00 pm. After that, poof! It goes away like a rainbow on a hot dry day.
And oh yeah, it is limited to only 7 patients. Number 8 goes home empty handed just like all those gold seekers.
So if you’d like some sage advice from a little green guy who knows what to do with money, I’d call Anna or Cecilia at Dr. Marks’ office right now at (714) 938-0575 and cash in on this offer before it goes away. Just tell them Shamus sent you.
Maybe now I can get some rest… hey you kids get away from there, those are my Lucky Charms!!!
Shamus
P.S. Call (714) 938-0575 for your Free Evaluation and to redeem your $500 Discount
Lower back pain treatment with spinal decompression
Back pain and sciatica specialist Dr Barry Marks, Orange, CA
Realistic expectations…
When it comes to lower back pain treatments one thing a good doctor must do is set realistic expectations for the patient.
Lower back pain, especially severe lower back pain and/or sciatica caused by disc bulging, herniation or stenosis is difficult to treat. And response to treatment can be a rocky road; up one day, down the next.
An important thing to keep in kind is that back pain caused by degenerative disc disease and bulging discs develops very slowly over a period of years, decades really. The treatment of this type of pain can take time.
Yes, I see lots of patients who have almost miraculous results in days or a few weeks within my severe back pain and sciatica center, but it’s important to realize there are others who will respond very slowly, sometimes erratically.
Another important thing to remember is that whatever treatment you are undergoing must be done in the manner in which it has shown to be most effective. Take for example DRX9000 spinal decompression. The manufacturer recommends 20 sessions over a period of about 6 weeks. Their research indicated that is took at least 20 sessions to see visible changes within the disc and see significant reductions in pain. Some patients, in my experience about 10%, will eventually get the desired results, but not until as many as 30 sessions.
That’s why when I hear of back pain sufferers discontinuing their DRX9000 care before 20 sessions, or worse hearing of a doctor who discontinues their care prematurely, I get upset. 20 sessions is a starting point. Yes, many will be done at 20, but others will require 24, 26 or 30 sessions.
If you have been on a DRX9000 spinal decompression machine and discontinued your treatment early, before 20 sessions, then you don’t know if you would have gotten better or not. I’ve had patients transfer care to my office after being prematurely released from their other doctor because the DRX “didn’t work” only to find relief after only a handful of visits with me.
If you have been prematurely released (prior to 20 visits) then I would suggest you contact your doctor and see if he or she is willing to complete the treatment. If not, find someone who is.
Trials of 3 visits or 2 weeks “to see if the DRX9000 will work” are useless. In my opinion you need to do the full 20 then evaluate. Keep in mind that you may require more than 20 visits to get the results that you and your doctor expected. Only then can you know that you’ve gotten the most out of the technology.
Severe back pain treatment for disc degeneration, bulging discs and disk herniation can be complicated. It is important to work with your doctor and make sure that both of you are committed to seeing your treatment through to the end. With realistic expectations, neither one of you should end up disappointed.

New Treatment for Spinal Lumbar Disc Pain
If you have back pain or sciatica and you’ve tried chiropractic and physical therapy with no relief, you may have stenosis, disc herniation or a degenerative disc. These causes of lower back pain often resist treatment by chiropractors, therapists and acunpuncture.
In the past, back surgery such as a laminectomy or spinal fusion were your only option. Spinal surgery for disc pain is often unsuccessful and has many serious side effects such as nerve damage, infection, bleeding, repeat surgeries, failure and more, which is probably why you are wary of even contemplating this form of treatment for your spinal pain.
Luckily there is a modern alternative to back decompression surgery. If you are suffering from spinal lumbar disc pain there is hope for relief of your back pain without chiropractic, physical therapy, drugs, shots or surgery.
DRX9000 Spinal Decompression
The treatment is called DRX9000 Decompression or spinal decompression. This is a relatively new computerized medical procedure that is an advancement over older, outdated lumbar traction. Whereas lumbar traction uses unsophisticated mechanical winches to pull on the spine, true spinal disc decompression with the DRX9000 uses a computer controlled system that not only pulls on the spine to decompress the discs, but also “senses” how much resistance your body has and adjusts the amount of pull.
This and other patented features, has resulted in a medical technology than can relieve disc pain in over 80% of cases.
Discs that were once dehydrated (desiccated), herniated, bulging or degenerative can now be repaired. The DRX9000 can increase the amount of water in the disc, decrease the size of bulging and herniated discs and relieve nerve pressure causing sciatica. It can even help the back and leg pain from stenosis. All without chiropractic, physical therapy, drugs, shots or spine surgery or decompression surgery. And it can accomplish this in as few as only 5 weeks.
Dr Barry L Marks, chiropractor in Orange, CA has over 22 years experience in spinal orthopedics and is a former Associate Clinical Professor at a leading Chiropractic College. He is an author and lectures on Back Pain and Spinal Decompression. He is the Medical Director of Orange County, CA’s first Dedicated DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Center Orange Spine & DIsc Rehabilitation Center at 2401 W. Chapman Ave, SUite 102, Orange, CA 92868.

Fair warning before reading this article…it may offend certain people with pet causes and who cling to their beliefs no matter what the facts tell them.
Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Drugs, Exercise, Physical Therapy and Surgery CANNOT cure disc disease.
Let that sink in for a few seconds longer before moving on…
I have been a practicing chiropractor for over 22 years. I truly believe in my soul that every spine should be regularly adjusted by a chiropractor. My family and friends all receive regular chiropractic care. I believe that a properly functioning spine increases the immune response and therefore will help resist disease.
But, I know my limitations.
Same goes for acupuncture, drugs, therapy, etc. Tremendous relief can be experienced at the hands of these practitioners, but they have limitations as well.
All of the therapies listed above can help reduce inflammation, spasm and pain. They might be able to improve mobility and get you to walk a little better.
But not one of them can repair a degenerative disc. All they can hope for is, at best, is to slow down the deterioration.
If you think surgery can repair a disk herniation, consider this sobering fact. Surgical intervention in disc disease involves cutting or burning away of the bulge. In other words, the disc material is being removed and the disc fibers that are left behind are damaged and repair themselves with scar tissue. Scar tissue is not like disc tissue. It is less flexible, weaker and prone to inflammation. And that is why within 5 years of a first surgery, approximately 70% of patients require a second surgery.
Okay, so is all hope lost? Is there no treatment out there that can repair a damaged disc?
Yes and No.
First the “yes.”
A fairly new computerized medical technology called spinal decompression CAN repair a disc. It has been proven in several studies and more importantly in my own office, that DRX9000 spinal decompression DOES increase disc hydration levels (puts water back into the disc). Spinal decompression DOES reduce the size of disc bulges and herniations. Read this for proof. Thousands of patients each year are now finding relief of their disc related back pain without chiropractic, shots, therapy or surgery.
But it’s not a cure-all.
Sorry to rain on your parade. Before you run out to your car and drive over to the nearest DRX machine and jump on, you must realize that like every other medical treatment out there, there are limitations. Many patients cannot undergo spinal decompression due to physical problems and limitations. Others are so bad that the procedure cannot make up for the many decades of spinal neglect and abuse that some patients endure before finding this treatment.
But for the people that are good candidates, for those who have not allowed their spine to totally deteriorate, the DRX9000 spinal decompression unit can be a God send. I have personally seen patients who could not walk go back to exercising within weeks. I’ve seen people suffering from debilitating leg pain for many years find relief within days.
Spinal decompression with the DRX9000 gives back pain and sciatica sufferers their best chance for repairing a damaged disc and finding relief.
Dr Barry L Marks DC
Spinal Decompression Specialist in Orange County, CA
I am often asked what the difference between Traction and Spinal Decompression is. Here is my 5 minute answer as opposed to my “90 minute all you can ever care to know about spinal decompression” seminar answer.
Traction
Traditional traction which has been used for decades uses force to pull on the spine. The simple traction table at right uses a cheap electric winch with a rope to pull the spine. Others are more cleverly disguised. No matter how sophisticated the machine may look, traction machines mechanically pull on the spine in only one direction.
The problem with traction is that it just pulls and after a few minutes your body says “hey, I’m being stretched!” and reacts by tightening up the muscles. This prevents the disc spaces from opening and staying open. No traction manufacturer has been able to show before and after MRI’s where traction was able to increase hydration to the disc or reduce disc size.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression is an evolution of traction. True Spinal Decompression like a DRX9000, not only pulls the spine, but it also “senses” how much force the body is pulling back and is able to lessen the pull when needed.
DRX spinal decompression has a feedback sense so that when your body begins to tighten up, the machine backs off a bit. This occurs several times each second. So essentially your body does not know it is being pulled and does not spasm. That is why comparison MRI’s do show improvements in disc hydration, reductions of disc bulge and reduced nerve impingement after DRX9000 use. See this post for dramatic before and after MRI results of one of my patients.
Back pain sufferers beware:
“Spinal decompression” has become very popular due to the fact that “true spinal decompression” like with the DRX9000, works. This technology has spared many people from dangerous spinal surgery. Because of this, there are a lot of manufacturers and doctors who have jumped on the bandwagon to scoop up “easy money.”
Most “decompression” machines today are just traction machines in disguise. Machines that 3 or 4 years ago were proudly called “traction” machines have suddenly become re-badged as “Decompression units.” Roller massage tables that do no more than heat, massage, vibrate and lightly press on your spine are being sold as “decompression tables.” Devices that hang you upside down are no longer “gravity traction” units but are now “decompression” swings. It’s endless.
None of these machines use a computerized feedback sensor. None of them have research behind them proving they work.
Why the DRX9000?
As a practitioner for over 22 years specializing in spinal orthopedics, I have seen fads come and go. I have used traction extensively in the past. I even illustrated the user manual for a leading traction machine in the 1980’s. I never saw the kinds of results I routinely see now with the DRX9000. There’s no comparison.
When I looked at other machines, I found that I could buy 2 or 3 competing machines for the price of just 1 DRX. I chose the DRX because I realized the others paled in comparison when considering build quality, patented features, patient comfort features and the research behind it proving it worked.
Traction vs. Spinal Decompression is very simple: From the 12th Century up through the 20th Century we had traction. In the 21st Century we have Spinal Decompression and current medical research indicates that Spinal Decompression works.

Spinal decompression therapy is the latest computer medical technology to relieve back pain caused by bulging disc, disk herniation, slipped disc and degenerative disc disease without surgery. The process uses very specialized equipment and protocols that are right out of the space age.
Despite the high tech nature of spinal disc decompression, there are very low-tech dietary supplements that you can take to help support and heal your discs while undergoing spinal decompression for severe back pain or sciatica.
Nutrition for Discs
Discs, like all other organs of the body, require proper nutrition to help maintain them under normal operating conditions. When an injury occurs their needs may increase in order to facilitate repair. It is my opinion, that every man, woman and child should take a basic multi vitamin and mineral supplement each day for basic health. For the disc pain sufferer, the following nutrients need to be taken above and beyond what is in their daily multivitamin:
Hyaluronic acid Recommended dosage: Average adult 6 mg in two doses: AM and PM with food
·Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) Recommended dosage: Average adult 2,000 mg divided in two doses: AM and PM with food
·Manganese
Recommended dosage: Average adult 50 mg in two doses: AM and PM
(Do not take at same time you take Calcium supplement)
·Chondroitin sulfate
Recommended dosage: Average adult 1,000 mg in two doses in AM and PM
·Glucoasamine
Recommended dosage: Average Adult 3,000 mg in two doses in AM and PM
·Water
Proper hydration is mandatory to ensure proper disc health. How much water do you need? Drink enough water to make your urine clear to very light yellow in color.
I have found a readily available, relatively inexpensive supplement that meets the above needs called “Move Free® Advanced” by Schiff Labs. 4 Capsules each day in split doses will meet the recommendations above.
Spinal disc decompression is an effective new computerized medical technology that can relieve painful bulging discs and degenerative disc disease without chiropractic, shots or surgery and can be aided by taking specific dietary supplements to increase disc nutrition and healing.

Orange Spinal Decompression Testimonials
Praise for Dr Barry Marks' Orange County Spinal Decompression Program
“Before finding Dr. Marks I was receiving chiropractic care for over a year from a previous auto accident. The adjustments would only help me for a few days and then I was in pain again.
The one thing I couldn’t do anymore was to get down on the floor and play with my young grandchildren, or to pick them up without having pain. I had almost given up hope that I would be able to do those things again.
After treating with Dr. Marks with the DRX9000 machine and adjustments I am now able to play with my grandchildren on the floor and pick them up with no pain, which gives me so much joy! Thank you Dr. Marks for being the professional expert you are in understanding what treatment I needed to be able to have my life back again!”
Kathy Osborne, Real Estate Agent, Orange, CA
“Can this pain-free bliss continue? Bearing five children left me with such sciatic nerve pain, I didn’t know how to function without pain. After my treatment, I have been pain free and enjoying every minute of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Dee Mader, Self-Employed, Orange, CA
“Lower back problems started about 3 years ago. I am a very active person competing in Masters Track and Field, golf, and going to the gym 4 days a week. I went to an orthopedic doctor who sent me to a physical therapist. Visited my chiropractor many times as well as acupuncture treatments. While it all helped (slightly), I still had to take Advil and other anti-inflammatories for minor relief. I didn’t want to give up my activities but was strongly considering it until I heard about the DRX 9000 treatment. After completing the program, I am about 75% better. I have started my activities (shot putt, golf) and have no pain in my legs. I’m a happy camper!”
Henry Ross, Masters Athlete, Garden Grove, CA
“Thank you so much for making my treatments on a daily basis so pleasant. I feel truly blessed to have met all of you. I could feel from the very beginning the good energy in your office. What a wonderful experience. I will gladly recommend you to all I come in contact with. Thanks again.”
Connie Pinckard, Retired, Anaheim Hills, CA
“Words cannot describe what the Orange Spine & Disc Rehabilitation Center has done for me. I am only 24 years old and was crying at least once a day because of my bulging/herniated discs. All my doctors did was suggest surgery and give me pain pills. After the treatments, I am living a pain-free normal life. I have a smile now instead of tears. I am so grateful that God lead me to Dr. Marks and his wonderful staff. Thank you all!”
Michelle Wichlac, 24, Marketing Assistant
I suffered with lower back pain for over thirty years. I visited chiropractors regularly and was told I had three herniated discs and arthritis. Several doctors wanted me to have back surgery, but I did not want to take the risk of making my situation even worst.
My wife found an advertisement for Orange Spine Center and a new DRX9000 treatment. I was reluctant to believe it would really work, but I was at the point I would try most anything before irreversible surgery. I started the treatment, abided by the Dr. Mark’s instructions and within about six months I was 99% pain free. It is now has been a couple years and I have chosen to have a “maintenance” treatment every 6-7 weeks. I am basically pain free as long as I do not abuse by myself. I highly recommend this state of the art therapy to anyone with back pain.
-David Atkinson, Plumbing Contractor, Long Beach, CA
I have had lower back-leg-1 foot pain for years. I have tried pain pills, chiropractors, acupuncture, massages and many mattresses. Generally received little or no relief. The DRX-9000 has greatly improved my quality of life - though I'm not where I was hoping to be, I would still recommend the DRX-9000 to others. I have no pain or tolerable pain that I can acupressure away 90+% of the time vs. pretty much constant pain before DRX-9000 treatments. I continue to have the DRX-9000 treatments about every 6wks. I'm back to hiking and doing household chores with little or no pain. Dr Marks and his Staff are great and caring people. Thanks to Dr. Marks and Staff
-Debbie Jones, Self-Employed, Placentia, CA
Two months ago, I couldn’t sit, stand, walk or even lie down because of severe pain in my right leg from a bulging disc. My condition had been deteriorating for about a year, my activities had become limited, and I was depressed. After trying pain relievers, physical therapy, and traditional chiropractic treatment, nothing worked. In fact, it hurt too much to even do the exercises that my doctor prescribed for my back pain.
I wanted to avoid surgery, but I couldn’t imagine continuing to live with this kind of pain. Fortunately, I learned about spinal decompression therapy, and found Dr. Marks. From day one, I was impressed by the warmth and professionalism of Dr. Marks and his staff. They took my recovery personally, always going the extra mile to ensure that my concerns were addressed and that I was improving as much as possible.
Initially, my recovery was slow, but after several weeks, the pain started to lessen, and today it’s over 95 % gone. After 25 treatments on the DRX-9000, I can now sit, stand, walk around, and get in and out of bed with almost no pain. I’ve even been able to golf, kayak, and go on bike rides with my wife again! I thank God for Dr. Marks and the DRX-9000.

I’ve been having lower back, left hip, and leg pain …I’ve tried 2 different chiropractors and my medical doctor with no results. I was told about the DRX9000 and went for a free exam and consultation and was told I would be a candidate for the DRX9000 so I went for it… I didn’t notice much improvement until the 9th treatment when my pain was much less and by the 10th treatment I have been pain free. I finished my 20th treatment… and look forward to the long term experience.

I came to Dr. Marks after I found out about the DRX9000 on-line. I wanted to find someone local where I could try this. At the time my back pain was really bothering me. Everything I did I noticed the pain. I couldn’t do many things, like exercise, lift objects, or anything that active. I would question if I wanted to go to the mall with my wife because the walking would irritate my back pain.
After going through the program at Dr. Marks’ office I am back to doing active physical activities and I don’t feel limited in any way except heavy lifting. I did overdo it once since I’ve gotten better and caused myself to feel slight sensations where my pain used to be. But luckily it’s very slight compared to what I once felt.
I appreciate the staff and Dr. Marks himself. Everyone has been very friendly and I actually look forward to my treatments. It’s very relaxing. I recommend this treatment and this office to anyone suffering from sciatica.

“This procedure was the best thing I could have done for myself and my back. It is safer, less expensive and less painful than if I had had surgery and I am so happy I went through with it. I truly feel it has changed my life and I am pain-free and enjoying every minute. Thank you!
-Michelle Kane, 28, Insurance Adjuster, Anaheim, CA
“I have lived with back pain for over 7 years as a result of a work-related injury…that resulted in 3 bulged discs, leg pains and severe back pain. Normal chiropractic adjustments only brought short term relief. After my first six week session with Dr. Marks and the DRX9000 I can honestly say that I am experiencing much more relief than I have ever felt. My pain has become almost non-existent and my range of motion in all directions is greatly improved. I am finding it much easier to get out of bed in the morning…my early morning stiffness has improved to almost non-existent. I would recommend this to anyone who feels that they have tried everything and think that they are always going to be in pain. This works!
-Kevin Thornton, San Dimas, CA
"I have suffered for 30 years with back pain from College Football and Military service related injuries. I have compressed discs at L3, L4, & L5. After completing the DRX 9000 regimen over the last few months, I have seen my pain level reduced by 80%. I would highly recommend Dr. Marks and the DRX9000 to anyone who suffers from low back pain."
-Scott E. McDaniel, Real Estate Broker, Yorba Linda, CA
“I had a broken back at the age of 16 and a ruptured disc at age 28. I’ve been in pain 24/7 since age 16; I’ve tried everything you can think of over the years. This is the only thing that’s even helped. I would say after 20 visits about 70% of the pain is gone. I never thought this would be possible. I would tell anyone to give this a chance!”
-Myron Barker, Contractor, Irvine, CA
“When I came to you back in May I was in awful shape. My back pain had become so severe that I began using a wheelchair for the first time in my life. On good days I would limp around with a walking stick. As a dentist my job requires many movements that damage my lower back. I was so desperate that I began planning my retirement from dentistry and began looking into other jobs I could do.
After my first week of treatment I didn’t need my wheelchair anymore and after about three weeks of DRX therapy/treatment at your office I was walking normally again. It was so amazing not to have to use that dreaded walking stick again. To me this was nothing short of a miracle and was a life changing experience.
Your office staff was absolutely amazing also! Your office manager Gina bent over backwards to accommodate my busy schedule and went so far as to open your office early just for me. Your medical assistant Michelle was very pleasant and professional. She knows her job very well and is one of those special people you love to have working in a medical practice. In fact, if Gina or Michelle ever decided to go into dentistry there would always be a job for them where I work.
I had been working reduced hours because of my disabling pain but I am now working my usual busy schedule. You will always have my undying gratitude for the astounding results your office gave to me. I know a lot of dentists who have varying degrees of back pain and I am more than happy to tell them about my experience with you and refer them to your office. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!”

“Thanks for your kindness and warm friendly smiles. I feel much better, thanks to the DRX9000.”
-Don Tassin, Retired, Buena Park, CA
“I have suffered with back pain for over 10 years. I have 2 bulged discs at L4, L5 & S1. After finishing the DRX program, about 70% of the pain is gone. That’s amazing! I had tried physical therapy, acupuncture & chiropractic before, but there was no help. I would recommend the DRX9000 to anyone who has back pain, especially Dr. Marks; he is such a caring person.”
-Ann Tran, 36, Lab Tech, Anaheim, CA
“I’ve had back pain half my life. I’ve been through medication, chiropractic care and physical therapy in the past. The pain in my right leg got so bad the last 3 years that I had to give up my daily exercise walk. Since completing the DRX9000 treatments I am pain free and looking forward to getting back to my normal routine.”
-Carol Patridge, 70, retired, Cypress, CA
“I went to several doctors for my lower back and right leg problems. I had terrible pain all the way down my lower back and right leg. After all the treatments that I’ve had from professionals, surgeons, they sent me to get different pictures of my back. I went to see Dr. Marks, I wanted to go through his Disc Rehabilitation Center, but before I did, I prayed to my Lord, Jesus Christ, to help me…He did.”
“I’ve gone through the DRX9000 program. I laid on the machine and listened to some great music. The Lord was good to me. Not only has Dr. Marks changed my life, but the office help is excellent. I have now started a new life. I do things that I didn’t know I could do. I thank the Lord for my doctor, Dr. Barry Marks, for what he has done in my life. It is all good. Thank you so much.”
-Danny Rodriguez, Retired Civil Engineer, Westminster, CA
“The DRX-9000 was my answer to many prayers! I struggled with lower back pain for many years. I felt at times unable to care for my daughter, and little things like sneezing used to cause tremendous pain. After only 5 weeks of treatment – I AM PAIN FREE! Thank you Dr. Barry and Christy and Anna – You are awesome! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!”
- Sandra Wickham, Stay-at-Home Mom, Anaheim, CA
"I had a labor accident and by consequence I was diagnosed with a disc herniation in L5. The pain in my back and left leg was so intense that it made me stop walking along with my other normal activities. All of this affected my character making me very irritable. I went to get chiropractic care, but it did not work. They gave me anti-inflammatory and analgesics, as the days passed there was no proof of any improvement. The pain killers helped me just for a few hours and then the pain was in my lower back again. As none of those treatments seem to work, I talked to my doctor and he told me that the only solution was to have back surgery. I had an epidural injection and it only cleared the pain for a couple of days.
Then I talked to a friend of mine who told me about the DRX 9000 machine. He had a problem with his back and he said that after some treatments he was pain free. I went to Dr. Marks clinic and after 3 treatments, I noticed that the pain went down. Now, I have finished my treatment and the pain in my lower back and leg is gone. I am doing my normal work and activities again.
My experience with the DRX 9000 has been great, and that’s why I will recommend Dr. Marks and his treatments. Thanks Dr. Marks for your time and attention toward me, thanks for being such a nice person.
