I found this article the other day, and I thought it would be interesting for others to see. This could be a breakthrough in medical science. Thoughts?
Been around for a long time probably alot cheaper....
In all seriousness this is far from a "cure", my father could have used this a long time ago if it really worked, 2 herniated discs failed surgery, scar tissue, wires up his spine not pretty. It's more for the treatment which ends up just meaning an expensive way to slightly reduce the pain (as pain medicines often do) and maybe give you your life back from dibilitating back pains from botched surgeries and the like.

The DRX9000 not only significantly reduces back pain in many patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.
Only a signifigant reduction is promised not a full on cure, which this is most likely a more expensive alternative to surgery, both of which are just a reductory measure.

Well, I guess you are right. I guess they're trying to fix back problems without the need of chiropractors. No offense taken, BTW.
By the looks of that machine, a chiropractor would be a fuckload cheaper. Throw in an inversion table, and you're out like, $200 initial investment, then about $100/month. As opposed to the $25,000 that the DRX(over)9000 probably costs.
