DRX9000 showcased at NY chiropractic convention with Dr. Terry Yochum

The DRX9000 spinal decompression table was featured at the New York State Chiropractic Association Spring Convention in a presentation by Saleem N. Musallam alongside Dr. Terry Yochum. The event highlighted clinical research, future education partnerships with Northeast College of Health Sciences, and Excite Medical’s push for evidence-based nonsurgical spinal care.

Why it matters: - The presentation put evidence-based nonsurgical spinal decompression in front of New York chiropractic providers at a major industry event. - Excite Medical used the convention to reinforce the DRX9000 as a research-backed alternative for some patients considering spine surgery. - The meeting also opened the door to future educational and research collaboration with Northeast College of Health Sciences.

What happened: - Saleem N. Musallam, founder and CEO of Orca Medical Technologies and Excite Medical, spoke at the New York State Chiropractic Association Spring Convention. - Musallam joined chiropractic radiologist Dr. Terry Yochum as an invited speaker. - Musallam presented on the history and future of nonsurgical spinal decompression. - The presentation covered spinal decompression therapy for herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, sciatica, chronic low back pain, neck pain, cervical radiculopathy, lumbar radiculopathy and other spinal disorders. - The DRX9000 spinal decompression table was featured at the convention.

The details: - Musallam said it was an honor to share the stage with Dr. Yochum, whose work has helped educate generations of physicians. - The presentation emphasized that published scientific evidence, not marketing claims, should guide clinical decision-making. - The DRX9000 is described as the world’s most researched nonsurgical spinal decompression technology. - Excite Medical says the platform is supported by 28 clinical studies, including 20 peer-reviewed publications. - Those studies were conducted with physicians, universities, hospitals and research organizations. - The presentation said engineering innovation and clinical research have built a growing body of evidence supporting nonsurgical spinal decompression for appropriately selected patients seeking alternatives to spinal surgery. - Musallam discussed investment in engineering, physician education and clinical research over the past two decades. - Excite Medical said that work continues through next-generation decompression technologies, expanded university research partnerships and collaboration with physicians in the U.S. and abroad. - Musallam met with DRX9000 providers from across New York during the convention. - Those providers shared patient success stories involving people who avoided spine surgery through evidence-based nonsurgical spinal decompression. - The conference strengthened Excite Medical’s relationship with Northeast College of Health Sciences. - Future collaboration is expected in continuing education, physician training and evidence-based spinal decompression research. - Musallam is a Johns Hopkins-trained biomedical systems engineer and an adjunct professor in the Department of Medical Engineering at the University of South Florida. - Musallam is a named inventor on multiple issued U.S. patents and more than 20 published and pending patent applications. - Musallam also serves on the board of the Florida Medical Manufacturers Consortium and chairs the American Spinal Decompression Society. - Excite Medical was established in 2007 and focuses on engineering, manufacturing, regulatory clearance, clinical research, physician education and commercialization of spinal decompression technologies. - The American Spinal Decompression Society is described as the world’s first 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing, educating and advocating for nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy.

Between the lines: - The event was as much about credibility as product visibility. - Excite Medical is tying DRX9000’s value proposition to research, physician education and academic partnerships rather than product marketing. - The Northeast College relationship suggests a longer-term strategy to build influence through continuing education and research channels.

What’s next: - Excite Medical said it will continue developing next-generation spinal decompression technologies. - The company also signaled more university research partnerships and physician collaboration. - Future work with Northeast College of Health Sciences could include continuing education, physician training and research programs. - Musallam’s broader agenda includes physician education, medical device innovation and evidence-based spinal care.

The bottom line: - Excite Medical is using clinical research and academic partnerships to position the DRX9000 as a leading nonsurgical spinal decompression option.
