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.

He knows the swing from the inside.

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.

Ginny T. · Google review

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.
