Relieve Your Back Pain With The
DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System

 
Ventura Spinal Decompression, DRX9000The DRX9000 non-surgical spinal decompression machine 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 Axiom's focus on innovation, they are 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. Their expert team consists of engineers who designed for NASA and the US Department of Defense.

With a majority of the population experiencing back pain at least once in their lifetime, lower back pain is the most common ailment facing healthcare providers today. In the past physicians were faced with limited resources for successful treatment. With the age of technology and the low success rate of surgery, patients have become more educated to alternative treatment for back pain relief. This changing trend is evident by the billions of dollars spent each year on alternative healthcare.

Throughout the development and manufacturing process Axiom has continued to make exhaustive efforts to ensure the quality of their hardware and software. Scientific proven techniques were at the core of the creation of the DRX9000. By combining technology and science, Dr. Alff can offer patients an effective alternative to surgery.

ATM-2 (Active Therapeutic Movement) Rehabilitation

We have proudly incorporated the ATM-2 (Active Therapeutic Movement) system into our treatment to get even better results with our chronic low back pain patients.  This system allows us to stabilize your body and then isolate the musculature that in its weakened state is causing your back pain.

Nearly everyone who uses the ATM-2 has immediate improvement in range of motion and reduction of pain!  This marvelous treatment must be utilized to believe this incredible claim.

Whether you suffer from back or neck pain or sciatica that is being caused by a bulging, herniated, thinning disc, spinal stenosis or scoliosis, you will probably experience relief with this amazing device.

 

Find The Cause Of Your Pain And Health Problems
With The Insight Subluxation Station Diagnostic Testing

This is a computerized diagnostic machine that tests 5 areas of your neurological health.

1. Surface EMG – tests the electrical activity of your spinal muscles to determine if they are balanced.
2. Thermal Scan – tests the thermal activity of your spine to determine autonomic nervous system function.
3. Inclinometer – tests the range of motion of your neck, mid back and lower back to determine any abnormalities.
4. Algometry – tests the pain sensitivity of spinal areas to determine abnormalities.
5. Pulse Wave Profiler – tests your heart rate variability, which is a measure of your overall fitness.

All 5 of these test results are put together in a score from 1 to 100, with 100 being the best. The score is called your Neuro Spinal Functional Index Score or NSFI. This is a completely painless test and takes about 20 minutes to have done.

Once you get your NSFI score, we start treating you and re-test you every 30 days to increase your NSFI as much as possible.

The Insight Discovery machine is endorsed by Olympic Gold Medalist, Dan O’Brian and the Space Foundation and is used in the training rooms of many professional sports teams. Once again, we are the only office in the area that has this amazing technology. 

 

Cold Laser Therapy

Alff Chiropractic, Inc. is proud to offer state-of-the-art Cold Laser and Superluminous Diode Light therapy.

Superluminous Diode Light therapy utilizes light that is in the visible range of red and infrared light. This type of light does not penetrate deeply into the body and it is non-coherrent (not directed to one specific area). Light therapy has been used successfully for years in many European countries. However, this wonderful therapy is brand new to our country.

Cold Laser is also known as Low Level Laser Therapy. This Therapy utilizes a directed, non-visible light beam that penetrates into the body. Unlike "hot" lasers, the Cold Laser is not harmful. In fact, it is amazingly therapeutic.

Both Cold Laser and Superluminous Diode light reduces pain, inflammation, and edema as well as accelerates tissue repair and healing.

We are excited to be able to offer this fantastic, effective new therapy to our patients.

 

Vivatek Therapy

In years past when someone was diagnosed with thinning, bulging, or degenerating intervertebral discs, we would have to tell them that we couldn't do anything about the damage that had already been done. Instead, we would inform them that we would do all we could to prevent their condition from worsening.

Now, however, we can truthfully tell such patients that we have the expertise and technology to heal and restore injured spinal discs to normal functionality.

We are proud to be the only certified Vivatek office in northern Ventura county. Vivatek is a highly effective, computer controlled physical therapy system. This unique, sophisticated and high-tech Non-invasive Disc Rehabilitation (N.D.R.) form of treatment successfully treats neuro-muscular conditions such as neck and back pain, headaches, sciatica, and stress.

Drug treatment for pain can have devastating side effects. Statistically, surgery is extremely expensive, high risk, painful, and it definitely alters most patient's lifestyles.
