“I had piercing pain down my right leg from a disc herniation”

“I first came in with a Lumbar Disc Herniation after a weight lifting injury. The pain was pinching and piercing down my right leg. It caused abnormal nerve sensations and led to a decrease in life enjoyment. I had a significant amount of numbness and tingling radiating down my leg as well. On a scale of 1 to 10, the pain was a 7. I tried Chiropractic care, pain meds, exercise and an inversion table. Seriously, nothing helped. I decided to take matters in my own hands, and found Spinal Decompression online. My first concerns were if the treatment would work for me and if I would need to come in for the rest of my life. My recovery process has been both fast and enjoyable.As a result of my treatment, I now enjoy daily exercise, time with family and can finally sleep soundly at night! The only drawback is that now I can no longer use my back pain as an excuse to miss family reunions. I would highly recommend Spinal Decompression.”

“I can do just about anything now”

“I was suffering from Herniated Discs in my lower back. The pain was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. It was so bad that I could not sit in the chair in the front lobby waiting to meet the Doctor for the consultation. I was actually lying on the floor when we met because that was the only relief from the constant pain. On a scale of 0–10, my pain was an 11! (Seriously!) The pain ran down my right leg often causing loss of feeling in my right foot affecting my walking. I have had back pain for most of my adult life including surgery in 2001 which was expensive and only helped temporarily. I had tried nearly every treatment known for backs since 2001. I tried epidurals/steroid shots, physical therapy, massage, back surgery, exercise, inversion table and pain medication. I took prescription painkillers until the prescription ran out, then about 12–16 Advil a day. Spinal Decompression has been the only treatment that has significantly helped. I am running again, I am back working out at the gym, I can do just about anything now. I don’t feel limited anymore and I look forward to playing sports again.”

“5 years later and still no pain”

“When I had Spinal Decompression treatments 5 years ago I was suffering from severe pain in my lower back and right leg. On a scale from 1–10, my pain was a 10. I was also experiencing some tingling and numbness associated with the pain. I just wanted the pain to go away. I tried epidurals/steroid shots, physical therapy, traditional chiropractic, massage, exercise and pain medication. I was taking about four pain pills a day. I found a Spinal Decompression Clinic on the internet and wondered if spinal decompression would work for me and if I would have to continue the treatment for the rest of my life? As a result of the spinal decompression I am able to walk, sit and stand pain free. And I am back to work with no problems. The pain in my back and my leg is completely gone. I would recommend spinal decompression to everyone.”

“Only 6 weeks later my back and leg feel wonderful”

“I had a herniated disc at L3 and L5, according to my MRI. My right side was in excruciating pain from my disc pushing on my sciatic nerve. My foot was numb and tingly all the time. I was in the E.R. every weekend. I was taking all kinds of pain pills, was in a wheelchair for 2 months and used a walker for 1 month. I knew the pills could cause damage to my liver and kidneys but I didn’t know what else to do. They were also becoming very addictive and that made me scared. I was three days from having back surgery when I saw an ad in the newspaper. I came down to the office and the Doctors explained everything. The Dr’s put me on the Decompression Table and only 6 weeks later my back and leg feel wonderful. No more pain pills for me. I cannot say enough about Spinal Decompression! I recommend it to anyone with back or neck pain.”
