I just completed 20 sessions of spinal decompression therapy for two herniated disks in my lower back. I had serious pain down my left sciatic nerve all the way down to my foot. I couldn't even bend far enough to tie my shoes. Over the past year this condition also caused me to take over 300 hours of leave with out pay from work. Prior to seeking this therapy I tried: six epidural steroid injections, physical therapy, Neurontin, various narcotics and two other Chiropractors.
The 20 sessions of decompression gave me about 60% more pain relief than any other treatment. . I still have to pop a few Ibruprophin every once in a while, mostly in the a.m. but for the most part this treatment has helped tremendously.
I am now enrolled in a fitness program to work on redeveloping my core muscles that severe pain has prevented me from doing in the past; leading to degenerative disk disease and herniated disks.
Dr. Joshua Dunsky and staff were very professional and caring. Moreover, they gave me the confidence to continue to heal myself and not give in to surgery. I welcome anyone who would like to talk to me about this experience.
