Spinal Decompression Patients Goes Pain, Numbness, and Paralysis to Pain Free in 3 months

12/17/2012

I just treated a patient this morning who is an excellent example of what Colorado Springs spinal decompression can do for you and your herniated disc injuries. She is actually a regular case, not the exception. She has come to see us for 3 months. She is not a one and done patient or a "miracle" case. She is a "Joe Average" or "Josephine Average" patient. 

She came to us with loss of function in one of her legs, but had numbness and pain radiating in both legs. One and a half months into treatment, the numbness was gone in her legs, but she still couldn't feel two toes and she still had some intermittent pain. Today, she came in walking like a normal, healthy person, and she said she had no pain in her legs and the numbness is completely gone.

The wonderful part to this story is that it shows what it takes to be healthy, for many patients. With our two free treatments, we see plenty of patients, but most people are looking for a one and done scenario. They don't have the commitment to their health that is necessary to be pain free. This patient committed to her recommended treatment and she stuck with it, and now she will only need to maintain those results. We will rarely see her in the future. She has successfully avoided surgery and $10,000s in expense, lost work, and follow-up appointments and/or surgeries.

Patients typically get well in 2-3 months and then they maintain those results. But enough of me telling you about someone else's success; take us up on our offer, commit to your health and get

Why did we choose our particular spinal decompression table? 

12/10/2012

You've likely seen the fancy pants DRX9000 in Colorado Springs, on a magazine cover or on tv. It looks like a 1950's space ship, ready to take off, complete with primary color flashing buttons, stainless steel, and a tv screen. 

These units sold for $150,000 when they first came out. And patients paid for them, via the doctor's high prices for spinal decompression. One session could run up to $250. 

We admit, the DRX9000 is flashy, and tempting, but after 6 months of research, we didn't find that it was the best table. Plus, after the FBI raided the manufacturer and charged it false advertising and teaching illegal billing to doctors, we didn't want anything to do with the company. The machines are now in a struggle over intellectual property rights and in many regions the machines are no longer serviceable. 

On top of that, the Colorado Springs DRX9000 is a flat table that only allows for back and forth movement. 

We instead chose the Kennedy Decompression Table, because it hyrdaluics allows us to put the patient in many different positions and create proper directional pull, based on the patient's specific condition. The thoracic and lumbar regions of the table both move so that a patient can be treated on their face or back, and they can be in a full hammock or triangle pose and everything in between. 

The Kennedy decompression table also comes with vibration technology as well as an open architecture belting systems, which allows us to use laser therapy on a patient, while they are decompressing.   

The Kennedy decompression table also comes with certification classes for our doctors and staff.  

Plus, the lower cost of the Kennedy table allows us to pass those saving on to the consumer. Cash treatments on the Kennedy table are currently just $57. For us, it was a no-brainer.

Colorado Springs herniated disc patients get well using spinal decompression

12/7/2012

If you are suffering from a herniated disc in Colorado Springs, then in the past you would have an uphill battle to get well, and likely the pain would never truly go away. In fact, we've seen many patients who were injured 20 years ago with a herniated disc and it has so impacted their life that they had to stop working and their life shriveled away. They have been living in a painful fog for 20 years. I'm not being dramatic. 

BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS. 

Whereas your options in the past were back surgery, pain meds, chiropractic, and physical therapy to manage the pain, there is now a solution that eradicates the pain, without the cost or side-effects of drugs and surgery. 

Our Colorado Springs spinal decompression clinic is seeing amazing results for herniated disc patients using our tested, specific protocol. 

Spinal decompression is FDA-approved and it works to remove some patients pain in as little as one visit. We literally have people get off the table and say, "That is amazing. I had no idea. For the first time my pain is gone." For some patients, it is a longer road, and treatments can range up to 35 visits. We've found the age of the patient, their state of overall health, and how long they have had the injury all contribute to their treatment time. 

If you are suffering from a herniated disc in either your low back or neck, please call us today at 719.475.8676 to give spinal decompression a try for free, and see if it works for you.

Herniated Discs, Sciatica and Spinal Decompression

12/6/2012

0 Comments

 
Herniated discs create the symptoms we call Sciatica which can include a shooting pain down the leg, burning sensations, numbness and even paralysis or loss of motor control. 

Herniated discs put pressure on the spinal cord which sends vital communication from the brain to the rest of the body. 

It is common for a patient with a herniated disc to come to our Colorado Springs Spinal Decompression clinic and complain that they cannot feel one or both of their legs. 

The same is true in the neck. A herniated disc can cause muscle atrophy, loss of control over the hands, numbness, and constant pain. 

Spinal decompression can increase the space between the discs of the spine during treatment, and allow for the disc to move back into its functional and intended location, between the discs of the spine. This relieves undue pressure on the nerves of the spine and the nerves that exit the spine to the extremities. 

During treatment, it is common for patients to regain motor control, strength, and feeling in their limbs. 

If you are suffering from a herniated disc, before you consider surgeries, drugs, chiropractic care or physical therapy, we strongly encourage you to take us up on our 2 Free offer to see if you qualify and respond to treatment.  It simple and their is no obligation. 

If you have an MRI of your herniated disc, please br

Straight Talk About Colorado Springs Spinal Decompression Success Stories

12/5/2012

0 Comments

 
When I first began researching spinal decompression, I was amazed by the positive and negative articles out there on the Internet. After further research, I found that most of them surrounded the scandal with Axiom's DRX9000. The manufacturer of the DRX9000 was charged with false advertising (regarding NASA's use of decompression) and several doctors were charged with false billing. Despite all the negative press, I found posts all over the place about success stories and I talked with doctors who converted their clinics to spinal decompression clinics and swore by its effectiveness. 

We finally decided to buy a table based on the information we had about spinal decompression. Since then, we've seen 90% of the patients we qualify for treatment experience massive reductions in pain. One of the questions we ask on each visit is for patients to rate their pain on a scale of 1-10. 

Today alone, I had a patient who couldn't feel her legs say that she now has regained complete feeling in her legs. I had another patient tell me that the pain is completely gone, and only a slight numbness remains. I had another tell me that their pain was a 10 and now it is a 2. I saw a patient come in for their first visit, bent over and miserable, only to leave standing straight muttering in amazement. i had a patient today who is 30 days into treatment. When he started he could feel either of his hands and he could lift his arms above his head. Now his muscles control is back and he just lifted a 25 lbs dumbbell.

We are doing a better job gathering these stories on video and they will be posted soon. Hold fast.

Bottomline: Colorado Springs Spinal Decompression for herniated discs is alive and well. Believe it. It can likely work for you. I find that what patients want and need most is hope, and I'm happy to be able to say there is hope.
