What Others Say About Spinal Decompression
"I am back to work with no pain"
When I started treatment 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 talking about four pain pills a day. I 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.
I came because of low back pain in my lower back that began 5 years ago from work as a heavy equipment mechanic for 38 years. This pain was accompanied by pain and numbness traveling down both of my legs. On a scale of 0 to 10 my pain was about a 7 8. I had tried epidurals/steroid shots, exercise, physical therapy, and pain medication with only mild temporary relief. I was not a candidate to undergo back surgery due to heart complications, so it was the last route I could take. Prior to starting my treatment, I was taking 30mg of Codeine and two 300mg tablets of Acetaminophen three times a day, and a few additional doses if the pain persisted. After hearing of Spinal Decompression Physical Therapy, I questioned whether or not their offered treatment methods would work for me. I decided to invest in the treatment, and in turn, had a great experience at Spinal Decompression Physical Therapy. As a result of my treatment, I am now able to enjoy sports such as bowling, physical exercise such as walking, and most of all have more sex. I was a very bad case and I am completely satisfied with my treatment and am glad I did not have back surgery!

"I had piercing pain down my right leg from a disc herniation"
I first came 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 Physical Therapy 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.

"No More Pain Pills For Me!"
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.

After 2 failed back surgeries in 2000, I still had severe pain and I was informed no further surgeries would help. I had extreme pain while standing and walking. The pain was constant and was an 8 to 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. An Orthopedic test indicated that there was nothing more that could be done. Other than back surgery, I tried epidurals, steroid shots and pain meds. My experience was outstanding. The goal has been met. Hooray! It has been an amazing experience. I can walk better, am reduced to a level "3" pain while standing, have less stress and have a better outlook on life. We were informed it would be about 6 weeks and that has been the time to be in an almost pain-free status. I only wish I had known about Spinal Decompression before going under the knife because I really feel that I wouldn't have needed the surgeries that didn't even help.
Additional note from Clifford's wife.. The concern and care for the spouse were appreciated very much. It was well worth the time and expense. (Mrs. Lee S.)

Lower back, shoulder and arm pain brought me. It felt like electrical pain radiating down my arms. My pain was at a "10" and I also had lots of numbness. I have had this pain for 20 years and only took pain meds for it, which made me sick. When I came I wondered, will this work? Will they be able to lessen my pain? I am now able to sleep at night. I can carry my purse on my shoulders without pain. My anxiety is gone. What's so great is that there is no surgery involved and at the age of 67, surgery is the last thing I wanted to do. I had amazing results. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my pain a "1". The treatment was painless and most important, it helped me! No cutting, no recovery; it works.

"I was able to stop my pain medication"
As an owner of a housekeeping business, I came Due to constant pain in my low back, with pain radiating down to my legs. My pain was a "10" on a scale of 1 to 10. I have been suffering from this pain, on and off, since January of 2011. I have tried Pain Meds, taking 1-2 every 6 hours. I wondered if I would ever be pain-free. After first coming to Spinal Decompression Physical Therapy I was very pleased with how quickly I was able to start treatment. Feeling results within a few days was amazing. I can enjoy my days being pain-free. I'm able to work, still!! My kids really appreciate me being able to play with them and not be restricted or limited to activities. non-surgical, medication-free, painless treatment that has great results. Within a matter of a few days I was able to stop my pain medication and since then not have to take one! Treatment is painless and actually relaxing. I really enjoyed it. Most of all no recovery needed.

I was suffering from back pain and Sciatica
I came with severe back pain and sciatica. The pain in my low back was excruciating. My pain level was a "12", on a scale of 1 to 10. I had pain radiating down my right leg for the last 2 months. I tried acupuncture, pain meds and back surgery. I was taking 6 Tylenol a day. My concern was, will this work for me? I'll admit I was apprehensive because of a bad experience in the past. But after starting Spinal Decompression treatments, I knew I had made the right decision in coming here. My pain level has gone from "12" to "0"! I am able to walk straighter, sleep better and do housework without pain. It is so comforting to be able to be pain-free without the use of medication.

"I was diagnosed with an L4/L5 Disc herniation and was facing surgery"
After experiencing excruciating pain from a work-related injury, I knew I needed an immediate solution. I found it hard to walk, stand, sit or even lie down. I even had to take an absence of leave from my job at the restaurant due to my pain. My pain level was a 10, on a scale of 1-10. After learning that I had a herniated disc at L4-L5, along with spinal stenosis, I was scared that I would be facing surgery. I had tried everything. After 4 weeks, my pain was completely gone! Thank you for allowing me to get my life back. I am excited to be able to return to work after not having been able to work the past 6 months because of the pain.!

"I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my back, which was causing severe pain in my buttock and leg"
I love to bowl but my bowling score has been very poor since my back started hurting. I was given a number of cortisone shots but I was still having pain. When I heard about spinal decompression, I felt it might help me. After seeing the table I was a little worried about what the treatments might be like. Would they help? Would the treatments be painful? The treatments were actually very relaxing. One time I even fell asleep. After my third treatment of Spinal Decompression, I went bowling and bowled 30 points above my average which greatly impressed my Team. I definitely feel that Decompression Treatments are improving my body's mobility and strength, as well as relieving the pain that I have been experiencing for over a year!

"5 years ago I noticed"
On my first visit, I pretty much needed to be carried in by two people. I am a grown man and I actually had to use a walker just to get around because the pain was so bad. The pain I felt was indescribable. An MRI showed an L5/S1 disc herniation. I had the same thing 2 years back and it took over a year to fully recover. My first spinal decompression session was very painful and felt no relief. The 2nd visit gave me much relief and by the end of the first week, I could walk without help. I looked forward to each day because I knew I would feel better each time. The Doctor knew just what to do to help me. I was so happy that the visits were so relaxing and each provided more relief from the pain. I have never been to any Doctor of any kind that really cared this much. Instead of it taking a year to heal this time, I was back 100% within 2 months.

"I felt like I had tried everything"
After suffering for 15 years with low back pain. The pain would cause back spasms and numbness in my toes. On a scale of 1 10, my pain was a 7. I felt like I had tried everything, (epidurals/steroid shots, physical therapy, acupuncture, traditional chiropractic, massage, exercise, & inversion table). These provided on a little, temporary relief. I found out about Spinal Decompression Physical Therapy in a newspaper advertisement. I wondered if Spinal Decompression could reduce the pain and raise my quality of life. After about 10 treatments I am now back to enjoying activities such as bowling, golf and working out. Spinal Decompression and have already sent several of my friends to their office.

"I've tried every pain pill on the market for my Sciatica"
Since 1986 I have suffered from neck and back problems. I've tried every muscle relaxer and pain pill on the market for my sciatica. I hate taking the pills because I know they are not good for kidneys and liver but I felt that I didn't have a choice. Surgery was an option but the odds weren't in my favor. I was in daily physiotherapy for six months. I have tried overhead traction, neck collar, pain management, yoga, chiropractic, massage and acupuncture. my pain was 9-10. Since Day One, the Doctor and his staff have been excellent. They have put me back on my feet to recovery. I can golf and dance again! My pain level is now a "2". Thank you so much!

I came for my back pain and it sure has helped. This has been one of the best experiences I have had. Again, thanks for everything.

"My back used to hurt all day, everyday"
Doctors told me I have Degenerative Disc Disease. That's when I saw an ad for spinal decompression and deep tissue laser therapy. After my second treatment, I could get out of bed in the morning with no pain. 3 weeks later I am pain-free!

"After 17 sessions of Spinal Decompression on my neck I feel like a new person"
I was at the end of my rope. I have had physical therapy, epidurals and cortisone shots for neck and shoulder pain in the past, but the pain always came back, along with daily headaches. X-rays showed that I had Degenerative Disc Disorder, bulging discs and stenosis in my neck. Not wanting surgery, I explored other options. After just a few Spinal Decompression treatments, I felt much better. After 17 sessions, I feel like a new person!

"This program worked wonders for my Degenerative Disc Disease"
When I started this program, I had burning, stabbing pain down my right leg and numbness and tingling in my foot. Doctors told me I had Sciatica complicated by Degenerative Disc Disease. After beginning the spinal decompression treatments the pain is now gone. My back was always sore and stiff. Now it feels much, much better. Overall, this program worked wonders for me and I hope it will for everybody.

"Three steroid shots didn't do half of what Spinal Decompression did for me!"
I was in excruciating pain for two years. I went to a "Pain Management Doctor" who wanted to give me steroid shots. The idea of shots into my spine made me very nervous. I ended up having three steroid shots in my back which didn't help. Then I saw an ad in the newspaper for spinal decompression at Spinal Decompression Physical Therapy. After my complimentary consultation, the doctor recommended spinal decompression on the DRX9000. I got relief after one week of treatment. It gets better every time. I am now able to do the things that I have missed over the last 2 years. It works, it helped me.

"Can Stand and Walk Straight For First Time in 30 Years"
I have had lower back pain for years. Doctors have diagnosed me with L4 and L5 disc problems. The doctor discussed treatment on the Spinal Decompression machine. The first treatment was nothing short of a life-changing moment. I stood straight for the first time in thirty years. You don't know how amazing it is to finally stand and walk straight for the first time in 30 years.

"...the greatest gift I have received in all my life...."
Suffering from constant severe pain makes one helpless and very depressed! This was my state for eight months. I could not sit, bend, nor walk or get up without help. I was on pain pills. One day my daughter suggested that I see her Doctor. I had never seen a chiropractor but replied to her "I am willing to try anything at this point." I started spinal decompression treatments and I am overwhelmed. Only weeks later, my pain is totally gone. I cannot say enough good about this treatment. The doctor has given me the greatest gift I have ever received in all my life and I've received some very nice ones in my lifetime of seventy-eight years. He has given me some of my health back that I never expected to have again. Thank you, Doctor, for what you have done for me.

"......I was unable to bend over enough to dress.... My back is completely restored."
I had always been skeptical about chiropractors, but my wife had experienced good results. So when I awoke one morning with very severe back pain we contacted her chiropractor. The pain was so severe that I could not stand or sit for more than a few minutes. I was unable to bend over enough to dress or put on shoes and socks. I began Spinal Decompression treatments. There was an immediate improvement after each treatment. After about four to five weeks of treatment, my back is completely restored.

"If it wasn't for the doctor and spinal decompression I would not have been able to continue my job as a meat cutter."
Been going in for chiropractic for twenty years but low back pain has always persisted. Dr. G. suggested Spinal Decompression. Initial visit tension was relieved tremendously. I had first decent sleep for the first time in a long time. Daily troubles with standing, sitting and sleeping have subsided. Sitting while driving I have no sharp pain down legs.
Treatments did not hurt it was very relaxing. I feel like I am close to 100% better. I feel if it wasn't for the doctor and spinal decompression. I would not be able to continue my job as a meat cutter.

"...Nothing gave me the results that your program gave me."
I have tried epidurals, laser discectomy, physical therapy... and nothing gave me the results that your program gave me. I knew I didn't want surgery because of all the horror stories I have heard about surgery. You have a program that works! I hope you get the word out, that there is an alternative to surgery.

"I no longer take pain medication..."
The treatments with spinal decompression have brought me instant relief and have helped me lead a healthier lifestyle. After two treatments, I no longer take pain medication or OTC medication for my hip and back pain. I am able to exercise without pain and am getting my life back. I have been able to stay more focused and clear-headed without the nagging pain that I previously felt. I honestly feel that my life has changed for the better with Spinal Decompression.

"Today, I am near 100% pain free..."
My quality of life has completely changed since starting this treatment. I had almost zero mobility; everything I did caused pain. Today, I am near 100% pain-free, and resumed to nearly all my normal activities.

"This treatment has changed my life. Thank you."
I had back pain for 5 years. It got the point where I was taking 4-6 Advil a day. I needed help to get out of bed. I could not stand without pain or do my job. I now take no medications, and I'm back at work. I only have pain periodically and I'm continuing to improve. This treatment has changed my life. Thank you!

"I feel physically balanced and stronger."
I feel physically balanced and stronger, which positively influences my daily activities. Good posture, back strength and alignment also affects my mental well being. I am able to move and perform with less pain.

"Today I can walk without a cane or a limp."
If you are one of those people who suffer from your spine, back or whatever, give yourself a chance and listen to what the doctor tells you, do it and something good will take place. There's always going to be some kind of discomfort, if you apply yourself that too will shortly pass.
Nina B.
I suffered two disc herniations due to an auto accident. I thought I could tough it out and the pain would eventually go away. After all, I was an all-star athlete growing up. I had recovered from worse injuries than this. There was no way I was going to the doctor's office. What would they do other than giving me pills and tell me to do exercises that I already knew anyway.
Eventually the pain got worse. My wife says that I became grumpy and miserable to be around although I don't see how that could be possible.
When the pain started to affect my life in the bedroom that's when I knew it was time to see somebody. My wife saw the ad in the newspaper and dragged me to the decompression clinic. I am now 90% improved and still getting better.

I am forever truly grateful for the care and results I am experiencing!
Dee W. - Gilbert, AZ
Having had 20 plus years of back/spinal problems, herniated discs and degenerative disc disease as a result of car accidents and sports injuries, and having tried everything from chiropractic, physical therapy, and three separate cortisone injections procedures, I was extremely skeptical of the whole DRX9000 decompression therapy. But having spinal surgery as my only other option I was willing to give this a try. After the 7th decompression treatment, I noticed significant pain relief and that I was able to do little things like sneeze without pain, sleep more soundly, and being able to bend at the waist. After the 12th treatment, I would say that I was about 80% better overall. Finally, after completing the 25th treatment, I am able to live life virtually pain-free! It is so wonderful to be able to play with my kids, go for hikes and long walks, or just relax on the couch without having sharp pains in my back and down my legs. I would, and already have, recommended the DRX9000 to friends, neighbors and even people at church. You turned this skeptic into an advocate!

After having surgery for a herniated disc I still felt debilitating lower back pain, which left me unable to walk at times.

Today I am near 100% pain free.

I was taking a lot of medications and had recently bought a walker. After 13 visits I no longer take pain medications and my pain completely gone. I am putting a for sale sign on my walker.

Is it normal for someone to feel about 60% better after just one treatment. Then she gave me a high five.
Faith G. Scottsdale AZ
The DRX9000 has been a Godsend. Not only I but others who know and saw the way I was, have to marvel at the progress. At the beginning of my treatment, I was confined to a wheelchair, unable to stand on my own two feet. The pain in my back and legs was so great that I was not capable of getting on the machine by myself. Thanks to the help of my family and the Doctor I was lifted onto the DRX9000 each treatment. One month later and almost one-quarter of the treatment I see a lot of improvement. I no longer need my wheelchair, and I'm able to stand up and walk on my own with little to no pain.
