Name: Nettie
Age: 44
Please explain your condition before you came to our clinic:
I was in a wheelchair previously, due to a semi-truck accident. I was able to learn to walk but I was in extreme pain and could not move very well. I had to roll out of bed and had very limited movement as well as very bad migraines. I tried physiotherapy and medication but it did not work. The doctor said I would be in a wheelchair again.

Please comment on your progress during and after your treatment program:
I have been at Lifestyle Health Centre since October 2001. I am now very mobile and I have my own renovation company and can do a lot of the work myself again. I play with my kids, and my migraines have been cut down by at least 80%- a lot less money going into medications!

Name: Withheld for Patient's Privacy
Age: 57

Please explain your condition before you came to our clinic:
Two Bulging disks in the lower back. Could not stand for 5 to 10 minutes without sharp pain in the lower back. Could not walk a block without sharp pain in lower back and had to sit before I could walk even one more block. Could not stretch to put on right shoe or sock. Pain and numbness in legs.

When you began regular treatments, what were your subjective feelings?
I was told I was not a candidate for surgery. I would have to live with the pain. I knew there was no guarantee this would work - but I had to something.
Please indicate the percentage improvement in your condition: 90 %

Please comment on your progress during and after your treatment program:
Although the treatment didn't hurt at first there seemed no real change, then I started experiencing severe muscle spasms. The muscle spasms subsided and I began walking without pain. I was able to stand for longer and longer with no pain. Realized I can now put on right sock/shoe without assistance. I can get through a work day without pain. I still have to continue building back/leg muscle strength-but every day is better!
Would you recommend spinal decompression therapy to others suffering from a similar condition?
Yes! It worked for me, why suffer when this could work for you? I was hoping to feel 50% better and it has exceeded my hopes!
What could we have done better to enhance your experience with us?
All the staff was friendly and caring. The Doctors were professional and worked with me-if it took a little longer to fix me that was okay-they just wanted me to feel better!
