I am more impressed with the older gentleman's comments at about 6: 00 minutes in; because when you're over 60-70 years old; will it still work for herniated discs at L3-L5? Also for a 230 lb guy like me, 6' 2", 65 years old; what pressures are recommended for the first 5 or 6 treatments? Because I've had 7 treatments now of my course, and cannot say there is the improvement I was expecting. Very little back pain improvement, and very little calf and foot cramping and numbness relief yet. I'm going in for treatment #8, which is the 2nd of 2 treatments aiming at L4. The first 6 treatments were aimed at L5; but I think they used too much weight at 120 and then 130 lbs. Seemed to make it worse! So I asked them to step down to 90 lbs. , then 95, then 100, at L4. Seemed to have felt more relaxed after that and less residual numbness and pain. So, I'm real concerned because I paid for half of the treatments; (12) and am going on number 8. If I don't feel better over the next 2 treatments; I don't want to waste another $1000+, HOPING THEY WILL WORK. I've worked so hard to put the cash together for these acclaimed treatments; and I'm worried that I'll be forced to consider surgical options which even have a far less "success" ration and come with higher risks.
You probably need to take off the extra 25 lbs because when you have a back issue, it will never get better on a permanent level until that happens, and you get physical therapy.
@@COINsimp2024 That's true, but the only reason I've gained that 20-25 lbs. is because of the back and sciatic pain! Can't move like I used to, can't work like I used to, and can't burn calories like I used to due to the pain and immobility. I still practice intermittent fasting, eat only 1 meal a day plus a small lunchtime low-calorie snack and consume only about 1000-1500 calories a day. I think the metabolic effect from the chronic inflammation, too, is playing a factor in raising cortisol and slowing down the metabolism. As a long time weight lifter; most of my body weight is muscle. But during this 2 year period of chronic pain and increasing disability; I went from 212 lbs. to 232 lbs and am turning into a wet noodle! I'm still waiting for an answer to my question about proper weight and distraction forces from someone acquainted with the DRX9000 treatment protocols.
