"Before starting treatments I had to be very careful about movements and picking up things. My activities were seriously limited. One doctor told me my spine was so bad he would not even consider me for an operation. So I stayed on pain medications and muscle relaxers. I could not live with the pain and limited activity. I wanted a better life.

I was very fortunate; when I was evaluated at the closest SpinalAid Center I was considered a good candidate for spinal Decompression treatments.

It was amazing! I had no more pain after the first 2 treatments and have not taken any pain medications since then. I am more physically able to do the activities I enjoy.

I recently went for a check up at my medical doctor’s office. The nurse notice right away how much better I was able to get out of the chair and walk through the office. She was so impressed with how well I was moving that she asked what I had done to get better. I talked to her about SpinalAid. She got the phone number from me and said she was going to call them about some back trouble she was having. I highly recommend Spinal Decompression "
