Hole 01 · The DRX9000
A non-surgical option when discs are the problem.
Bay Area Spine Care proudly brought the FDA-cleared DRX9000 to the Greater Oakland, Alameda and San Leandro region.
The DRX9000 gently unloads the lumbar spine, one targeted segment at a time, to take pressure off the discs and nerves behind so much low back and leg pain. Sessions are so relaxing that some patients fall asleep.
- Herniated and bulging discs
- Sciatica
- Degenerative disc disease
- Facet syndrome
- Pain that persists after back surgery
The plan
Six weeks, one round at a time.
Decompression works best as a series. After a consultation and exam, Dr. Basco explains exactly what he recommends and why, and you start only once every question is answered.
| Week | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visits | D | D | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| Session | 30 – 45 minutes on the table | |||||
D = daily for the first two weeks, then three times a week, then twice a week. Dr. Basco tailors the plan to your exam.

From the clubhouse
What patients say.
My chiropractor recommended Dr. Basco’s spinal decompression machine to treat my bulging disc. His 20-treatment plan was the key to my recovery. Beforehand I had disabling sciatica and could not walk a block.

I herniated a disc in my lower back and found Dr. Basco had a practice in a lovely office with a view of the bay, right near me in Alameda.

Dr. Basco is a good listener and adept at caring for his patients. I have been seeing him for the last 8 years for regular maintenance and occasional injuries. He is the best chiropractor I have ever found.
