"Neurosurgeon Using DRX9000 For His Own Patients With Great Results!"

We've been fortunate to have treated patients referred to us from neurosurgeons who wanted to offer their patients a nonsurgical alternative to spine surgery. The results have been quite remarkable in most cases. However, this comes as no surprise to the neurosurgeons who've witnessed first hand the high success rates that have been achieved with our DRX9000 protocols. Read below what one prominent neurosurgeon has to say about his personal experience with the DRX9000 treatment for his own patients:


"I am a neurosurgeon who has operated on backs and necks for over 30 years. In selected patients, the results are usually quite good and the risks are minimal. We used traction years ago as a standard "conservative" treatment on patients before surgery, and it often worked. About 3 years ago I decided to get a spinal decompression machine (DRX9000/9000C) and try it out. I was surprised at how well it worked - about 2/3 of the patients were improved a lot and were quite happy. Many of them had been referred for surgery and some would have been operated on if they hadn't done so well with decompression. . . . I do think it is a quantum leap over the old traction, which probably only served to keep patients in bed, because 20 pounds wasn't enough to produce a decompression in the disc.

We need randomized controlled studies and I hope they are forthcoming. I'm hoping to get one started myself. However, previous studies have shown that physical therapy and regular traction are no better than watchful waiting. And a good randomized, double-blind study has shown that epidural steroid injections for herniated discs don't decrease the need for surgery over the first year.

I think spinal decompression (DRX9000/9000C) has the potential to be a safe and more effective form of conservative treatment than anything else out there today, but time will tell."

W. Robert Hudgins, M.D., Neurosurgeon,

Dallas Presbyterian Hospital


This one of many examples of how some medical physicians are using what works best for their patients, regardless of how it may impact their “bottom line”. DRX Spinal Decompression is only 1/10 the cost of most spinal disc surgery, is much safer, and is proving to be even more effective for certain conditions than spinal surgery. Doctors like Dr. Hudgins are to be praised for placing their patient’s well being as their top priority, and giving them treatment options that are not only less costly, but that are far safer and even much more effective for long term healing and recovery.

I look forward to coming to work every day! I have the wonderful privilege of managing the care and successful treatment of patients from all over San Diego and Mexico. Best of all, here at the South Coast Spine Center in Bonita, our patients are recovering from some of the most severe and chronic disc related back and neck pain conditions WITHOUT DRUGS OR SURGERY! Our non-surgical, non-invasive treatment methods are safely relieving pain and restoring productivity and enjoyment to the lives of most who had all but given up hope.

Here's a sample of one of our recent patient recovery stories at the South Coast Spine Center of San Diego:

“Prior to seeing Dr. Bell, I had 2 disc surgeries at my L5-S1 disc. The pain had never gone away after the surgeries, and over a period of 10 years became severe once again. When I came to Dr. Bell’s office, I had extreme pain in my low back at an 8/10, which travelled down my left leg to my foot. I wasn’t able to walk, sit, or lay down without severe pain. I was taking a lot of Vicodin which worked at first, but then lost it’s effect after about 3 weeks. I sought chiropractic care for temporary relief, but that stopped working and nothing gave me relief. I saw Dr. Bell’s ad and called his office for an appointment.”

“After my 3rd DRX treatment, I was off the Vicodin. I experienced steady relief with each treatment, with occasional soreness flare-ups, then feeling better again. I love being on this table. It stretches your back, it’s very relaxing, and it just feels great! After about 2 weeks of treatment my pain had dropped to about 2/10.”

“Now I sleep through the night without any medication, waking up energized and ready for the day. I’m exercising in Dr. Bell’s office and at the gym. I’m feeling strong again, especially in my lower back. I’m not cranky anymore and my whole family is happier too. I would send my friends, family, everybody with back pain to Dr. Bell for his DRX & Spinal Rehab treatment program. Avoid the knife and come and see Dr. Bell!”

- Luis P., Realtor, Bonita, CA

These are the types of patients we see every day at the South Coast Spine Center. Their stories of recovery and restoration are heartfelt and inspiring. The results we are seeing with our non-surgical technologies are often astounding, especially when compared to my 14 years of experience in an orthopedic surgical setting.

It is the successful recovery of our patients that motivates and inspires me to continue to reach our community with the message of hope for a new life of pain free living and enjoyment!

If you or someone you know is looking for that "ray of hope" to finally get out of pain so that they can actually start living life to it's fullest once again, just tell them to call us at 619-472-BACK (2225) or to look us up on the web at: www.SouthCoastSpine.com .

The South Coast Spine Center of San Diego is priviliged to provide lasting pain relief to San Diegans utilizing the most advanced forms of non-surgical treatment for chronic and severe disc related lower back and neck pain available today. From the sophisticated computerized technology of the DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Systems, to the advanced accelleration strength training of the power plate, to the comfort of the AquaMed 200 computerized dry hydrotherapy massage, the center provides technologically advanced, evidence based protocols that have been proven effective in multiple medical studies.

Dr. Bruce Bell has been serving San Diegans throughout the county at the South Coast Spine Center in Bonita, by "Restoring Lives . . . One Spine At A Time." With extensive training and experience as a spine specialist for over 21 years, directly overseeing the physical medicine departments at 2 locations and establishing physical medicine protocols for all 5 locations of a busy orthopedic surgery group for 14 years, Dr. Bell has had the privelege of seeing the outcomes of every medical and alternative/complementary medicine procedure utilized for the treatment of disc related back and neck pain.

Many years of documented cases and multiple medical studies have proven the dismal outcomes of most spinal surgeries over the long term. Often times, according to published studies, spine surgery has been proven to be less effective in many cases as compared to patients who elect to have no treatment at all. In many cases, spinal disc surgery results in a worsening of the patient's symptoms and condition.

On the other hand, most non-surgical treatments available prior to DRX Disc Decompression were palliative, only providing temporary relief of symptoms at best, and often led to more invasive procedures like steroid injections or spine surgery when they failed to provide lasting relief.

However, with the medical advancements made available through the advent of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000 systems, we are now able to treat those patients that had no other option except surgery, seeing them recover their quality of life, without long term dependance on potentially harmful medication, and avoiding the risk of "Failed Surgical Back Syndrome" altogether.

Here's a sample of one of our DRX Success Stories from a retired Nurse:

“I was forced to retire after 49 years as a nurse because of severe, constant low back pain. I could walk or stand for only 5-10 minutes at a time. While the doctors were happy to offer pain medications, I was looking for a better solution. I rarely slept more than 3-4 hours a night. One night, I heard a discussion of Spinal Decompression on the radio. I called and made an appointment with Dr. Bell for a consultation and evaluation. I was very impressed with Dr. Bell’s clear, concise and thorough explanation of the procedure and the total treatment plan.”
“The treatments were relaxing and pain free. The staff was extremely caring and concerned. I continued to receive health teaching and information to improve body mechanics from Dr. Bell. During the second week I noticed some pain reduction and more important, I could sleep through the night – something I hadn’t done in 12 years! I have continued to have pain reduction and to sleep well. I am also trying to follow Dr. Bell’s exercise instructions. As a registered nurse for more than 50 years, I would highly recommend his evaluation and treatment plan for anyone with low back pain!”

- Patricia M., Retired Nurse, San Diego, CA

We continue to collect "Success Stories" from our patients to serve as encouragement and inspiration to others, giving them hope for recovery and restoration of quality of life, without surgery, without drugs, and without pain!

The San Diego Union Tribune featured our advanced rehabilitation technology in the form of the Next Generation Pro 5 Air Adaptive Power Plate on the FRONT PAGE of the Health Section this morning!

San Diego, known for it's healthy lifestyle and fitness consciousness, is always interested in the latest advancements in physical fitness and health and wellness. It was appropriate that our Power Plate would be featured as a lead story in the health section today.

We brought the Power Plate to our offices in San Diego over 2 years ago and have been providing it's amazing fitness and healing benefits to our county for many chronic back and neck pain sufferrers, as well as those elite athletes looking for the competitive edge!

The Power Plate provides numerous health benefits including: increased muscle tone and strength, increased bone density (for treating osteoporosis), stimulation of the release of regenerative and recuperative hormones, increased circulation, neurostimulation, increased healing and repair of damaged tissue, accelerated fitness training, improved balance and coordination, and gentle and effective musculoskeletal pain relief.

It accomplishes these amazing benefits from it's advanced computer chip technology that produces vibratory effects targeted throughout the entire body, resulting in multiple muscular contractions over a short period of time. Workouts are low impact, while providing a high return on strengthening, stretching, and musculoligamentous conditioning. A typical Power Plate workout consists of specifically designed exercises, both dynamic and static, targeted for maximum fitness, for only 20 minutes. This accelerated 20 minute workout provides the equivalent of 1 hour of conventional training at a lower impact, with increased results, according to medical studies.
