Non-Medication-Based Apparatus for the Treatment of Lumbospinal Dorsopathy

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

A means for non-medication-based treatment of spinal dorsopathy is described, specifically, using mechano-therapeutic DRX systems. The use of local internal disk-root decompression in 327 patients with lumbosacral dorsopathy, including 82.9% with disk hernias, is described. Measures of the efficacy of mechanotherapy are presented − results were excellent in 68.3%, good in 21.4%, and satisfactory in 7.1%.
