I
herniated a disc in my low back while at work in 2004.
I had unbearable pain that would shoot down my leg. I
couldn't do any of the activities I could do in the past
without pain. I was unable to ride my motorcycle because
of the pain and even tying my shoes would bring tears
to my eyes. The quality of my life was not very good.
I tried Physical Therapy and Chiropractic. I even had
Cortisone/ Steroid injections into my low back. Nothing
helped. Two months ago, my Doctor was setting me up to
have a fusion of my L5-S1 vertebrae. Things did not look
too bright.
I saw an ad for Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000
and figured I had nothing to lose. I was right. I did
not lose a thing and gained my life back. Today I am pain
free. I can ride my motorcycle and enjoy life again. At
work I am lifting things that I wouldn't have attempted
until recently and have no problems. I would highly recommend
this treatment for anyone that is tired of living with
low back pain.

My MRI showed 2 herniated discs in my low back. The pain
was intense in my back and down my leg. I needed crutches
to get around. Things got so bad that at one point I needed
to be taken by ambulance to the hospital. After 3 days
and a lot of tests and medications, the Doctors told me
I needed immediate surgery. I did not like this option
so I put it off as long as possible.
Once out of the hospital, I learned of Dr. Turner and
Spinal Decompression on the DRX9000. My first trip to
the office I was in so much pain that I could not get
out of the car. When things calmed down a little I went
for a consultation and the whole process made a lot of
sense. Still I was skeptical. It sounded too good to be
true.
I decided to go for it and after 3 visits I was able to
get around much better. After a week I did not need the
crutches any more. After 3 weeks I was 95% better. Today
I feel I have put this episode behind me and I feel better
than ever. I am glad that I did not jump into anything
and looked at the options for my care before moving ahead.

My back pain goes back 30 years. I am 85 years old and
for the last 15 years my pain has been so bad that I needed
to bend forward at the waist and use a walker to get around.
I had surgery for a ruptured disc many years ago and more
recently had steroid injections and pain medication which
had a marginal effect for a week or so.
My pain had progressively gotten worse to where it was
difficult to get around. Sometimes breathing sent a sharp
pain into my low back. My Orthopedic Surgeon told me he
would not consider doing surgery on me and knew of no
one that would work on me because of the deterioration
of my back. At this point I had given up and thought that
this was how I was going to have to live.
Today, after treatment on the DRX9000, my back is pain
free. I can stand up straight with no pain and am able
to move around much better. It was around my 10-12 visit
that I noticed the pain was going away and today it hasn't
returned.

My back pain was very bad. I also had constant leg pain
that went down to the ankle. I could not sit without pain.
Lying in bed was very uncomfortable and the pain made
sleep difficult.
I went to my Doctor and had an MRI that showed a herniated
disc at the L4-L5 area. I then had 3 epidural shots that
gave me some help for a couple months and then the pain
came back. Next I started Physical Therapy and did this
for 4 months. This only seemed to make my pain worse.
I had been in pain for 2 years by the time I came in to
see Dr. Turner. I started treatment and after 5 visits
I could sit and study without back or leg pain. Sleep
became much easier at this point.
At the end of my treatment sessions I could sleep perfectly.
I can now sit without any problems. I am very happy with
the results here.

I have had tremendous amounts of pain in my low back morning,
noon, and night for the last 30 years. Sciatic pain was
down my right leg to my thigh. Sometimes the pain was
so bad it was immobilizing. I was diagnosed with nerve
damage and degenerative disc disease.
I'm 57 and deliver beer for a living. Moving 160 lb. kegs
kept me in constant pain. I had to wear a back brace and
receive weekly to bi-weekly adjustments just to be able
to work. I had to take allot of days off over the years
because the pain became too intense.
One day I was watching a Medical show on TV and it talked
about the science of the 2000's and talked about the DRX9000.
It sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try.
I have finished my treatment program and am pain free.
I have no back pain or leg pain working or playing golf.
My golf game has shown a big improvement and I had gained
back the distance I had from when I was younger. I can
even play in cold weather without a problem. The results
have been amazing.

I'm a softball coach and at 31 years old I was in bad
shape. I couldn't even stand at third base to give signs
to the batters without experiencing severe pain. Walking
back to the dugout was tough. My pain had been going on
for 6 months. I wasn't sure what started it but it could
have been some lifting I had done when I had moved to
a new home.
My Doctor told me I had two bulging discs aggravating
a nerve in my low back that radiated down my leg to my
foot. I tried some recommendations including cortisone
injections which didn't help me.
By chance I was eating at the restaurant next door and
saw Dr. Turner's office. I went in to learn about this
procedure he was doing and knew I needed to try something
different.
It has now been 6 months since I finished the treatment
and I feel awesome. I have zero pain now and can do everything
I did before I had the back pain. I can do yard work and
coach without any pain what so ever. I've been telling
everyone about the DRX9000.

I have been having back problems for well over 6 years.
I'm 31 and work as a mechanic. Years of bending over cars
had done a number on my back. Some days the pain was so
bad I couldn't walk. I had constant pain in my low back
and down my leg into my foot. My life was going down the
tubes.
I have been seeing a neurosurgeon for a few years now.
He had been pushing me to have surgery and even made me
aware that I had a 20% chance of feeling better after
an operation. I had been putting it off. I tried Physical
Therapy for a month and felt worse. I had a cortisone
shot which helped for a day and decided not to do it again.
The only way I was able to function was with medication.
Percocet and Oxycontin were the only things that made
it so I could get out of bed in the morning. Over the
years the effects of the drugs was getting less and less.
My father's neighbor had seen Dr. Turner and went through
the treatment and had good things to say about it. I decided
to start and had a pain level of 10. Within the first
3-4 treatments my nerve pain down the leg was gone. Each
visit after I felt better and better.
Since having completed the program, I have to say it has
changed my life. My attitude has changed. I am a nicer
person and don't feel miserable because of the pain. Work
is also much better. For those thinking about doing the
treatment, all I can say is do it.

My back pain had been bothering me for the past 2 years.
The low back pain was constant and I had sciatica down
my right leg that was extremely painful. It had become
an everyday nuisance that I had learned to live with.
I tried other therapies that never seemed to get rid of
the problem. My daughter told me about this new procedure
for treating disc problems and I was excited to get started.
I have now finished my treatment program and have no pain
in my back. The sciatic pain is gone.
I am 87 years old and like to stay active. I do a lot
of walking and have noticed that I can take longer steps.
My neighbor recently commented that I was walking better.
I feel more confident moving about and sometimes have
to remind myself of my age.
I have to say with the pain gone I feel 10 years younger.
I'm sleeping better and I have a lot more ambition to
do things because I feel better.
