LATEST DRX 9000 STUDY SHOWS 88.9% SUCCESS RATE

DATA FROM A RECENT MULTI-CENTER PILOT STUDY UTILIZING AXIOM WORLDWIDE’S
DRX9000™ REVEALS A DRAMATIC SUCCESS RATE OF  88.9%!

Clinical results to be presented at the 2007 annual conference of the American
Academy of Pain Management.

Tampa, FL September 5, 2007: The clinical results of an IRB-approved prospective,
multi-center, phase II, non-randomized pilot study utilizing the DRX9000™ will be
presented at the 18th Annual Clinical Meeting of the American Academy of Pain
Management in Las Vegas, NV September 27- 30, 2007. The study, authored by Dr.
John Leslie of The Mayo Clinic, was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and
safety of the DRX9000 in the treatment of chronic lower back pain. Patients enrolled
in the study had suffered an overall average of ten years of chronic back pain. After
two weeks of treatments on the DRX9000 there was a 50% reduction in pain scores
and upon completion of the entire six week protocol an amazing success rate of
88.9% was documented. The patients also reported an improvement in their Oswestry
Disability score. Abstracts and copies of the presentation will be made available
following the release of the study data at the American Academy of Pain Management.

Non-treatment or control groups were not included making efficacy outcome versus
placebo or spontaneous recovery difficult to determine. Randomized double-blinded
or comparative long-term outcome trials are needed to further prove the efficacy of
non-surgical spinal decompression systems such as the DRX9000Ô for the routine
treatment of chronic LBP. This study was partially funded by Axiom Worldwide.

Improve Clincal Outcomes in Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression is the only corrective procedure for disc injuries that has
been proven to increase hydration of the disc, repair the connective tissue
structures of the disc, retract herniated or bulged disc material and improve the
structural integrity of the disc and surrounding tissues.  This is something that back
surgery cannot do.  Low back surgery only removes the small portion of the disc that
is damaged and is pressing on the pain producing nerves.  It does nothing to
improve the quality of the disc or surrounding structures.  That is the reason why so
many back surgeries fail, because you are left with the same bad disc minus the small
piece that was surgically removed.  This means you have a high potential for re-
rupturing the disc.   While surgery may temporarily reduce your back or leg pain, it
does not change the integrity of the disc or improve the quality of the disc and joints
of the spine.

Before and after MRI studies show retraction of herniated disc material, healed
annular fibers and improved re-hydration of the disc.  This is documented in the
Journal of NeuroImaging
