Dear Sir,

            I would like to acknowledge the success I had with the VAX-D treatments that helped relieve and eliminate the ruptured disk in my lower back.

            When I was diagnosed through an MRI with a ruptured disk in my lower back, the pain associated with the ailment increasingly kept me aware of the injury on a day by day basis. In fact, the pain became so intolerable that I almost went with the decision of a conservative neurosurgeon to have an operation to relieve the pain. However, I was approached by a therapist who indicated, after review of my MRI films, that I was a candidate for the VAX-D Therapy.

            After several weeks of successful and continued therapy sessions, the pain in my lower back has vanished. In fact, I have gone back to conducting routine activities that I was unable to perform for over two years. I am back playing rugby, softball, fishing and hunting. I can roll over in bed at night and get up in the morning without feeling any back pain.

            I am very thankful that the therapist recommended me using VAX-D Therapy.

 

Respectfully,

Mark Avery

 

 

            I’m a realtor and lead a very busy life. For years I’ve suffered with low back pain. I was taking pain medication but it only made me ill and it didn’t solve the problem. I also love to go bowling and had to stop many times because of the pain.

            When I came to this clinic I could hardly walk. That was last year. Within 2 visits I felt considerable improvement. I took off one week of work while I underwent treatments here and by the next week I was back to my routine. After one of my treatments it felt like “magic” as the pain suddenly disappeared. I really believe if I hadn’t had my treatments here I would have had to undergo surgery in the near future.

            Currently I’m in the preventative maintenance phase and believe this is crucial to my well-being. I feel 100% better! Thanks to the excellent care I’ve received!

To Whom It May Concern,

            I would like to state that VAX-D Therapy has been very beneficial to me and my husband with our back problems. I have had two major back surgeries and have a problem with scar tissue causing numbness and severe pain. I was bedridden and on strong pain medication before treatment. Since then I have been skiing and doing things I couldn’t normally do (much improvement).

            My husband who has a disc problem has had much less pain after receiving VAX-D Therapy. We would recommend this therapy for anyone with disabling back pain.

            I was the person sitting in your seat with the decision to try VAX-D or have surgery. I chose VAX-D and now I can honestly say that I made the right decision. I was in pain for over a year with the pain being more severe this past winter. I had three bulging discs with numbness and tingling down both legs. My job required that I spend most of the day standing and this was not helping my situation.

Upon completion of VAX-D I have no pain and feel that I have experienced 90% improvement since beginning VAX-D is the alternative to surgery that everyone should choose.

To Whom It May Concern,

            I was injured in an automobile accident in February of 1995. My back was killing me. It had a major impact on my life. I was unable to do all of the recreational activities I had previously enjoyed. Even playing with my son was a chore. I was irritable with my husband and would never get a decent nights sleep.

            My pain led me to several different methods of treatment, including conservative care, medication, massage, ultrasound and physical therapy. I still had severe lower back pain and leg pain. Eventually, I underwent surgery. While the surgery relieved the pains in my legs it did not relieve the pains in my low back. I still could not sit up from a lying down position. I had to roll out of the bed to get to the floor. Finally, my doctor recommended VAX-D. After several treatments of VAX-D, my back pain virtually went away. VAX-D succeeded where all other treatment modalities failed.

            The pains in my lower back are virtually gone. The muscle spasms I had on a daily basis are gone. For the first time in two years, I am able to get a good nights sleep.

            VAX-D treatments dramatically reduced my back pain and enhanced my quality of life. I can now do things I used to be able to do before the injury.

            The best thing about it was that the treatments caused me no pain and were non-invasive. I wish I had tried VAX-D first. It would have saved me several thousands of dollars in medical bills, not to mention many months of pain.

 

Very truly yours,

            My name is John Porter and I have suffered from SEVERE LOW BACK PAIN for 20 years but I found my condition was more serious and needed unique help which thank goodness is offered here at this special clinic with VAX-D and spinal joint mobilizations. I’ve tried taking ibuprofen for 20 years. That only gave me temporary relief, nothing I tried worked. The only way I could sleep was to lay on the recliner. I was also limited in what I could do at work.

            I’m very thankful for the work done here at Bloomington Medical by the doctors. I’ve had terrific results from using the VAX-D! Now I can sleep in my bed and I’ve never had to take ibuprofen since my 1st treatment here.

            The staff here are friendly and helpful. I would recommend this clinic to anyone suffering from back pain.

 

Yours Truly,

John Porter

 

 

To Whom It May Concern,

            I was involved in a car accident that severely hurt my back. As a mechanic I couldn’t work because of the pain. I spoke to a number of doctors that all recommended surgery. Finally I heard about VAX-D Therapy. I decided to give the VAX-D a try, because it wasn’t surgery and it didn’t require the long recuperative time. Am I glad I did! After just 15 treatments the back is fine and the pain is gone, and I don’t need the surgery. Best of all I am able to work again.

 

Sincerely,

Irving Rodgers

 

To Whom It May Concern,

            I received VAX-D Therapy treatments at Community Back Centres in Prince George from June 13th to June 28th, 1996. Twenty treatments in total. Prior to this I had full numbness in my outside left knee to toes and no reflex and feeling in my leg.

            Previous to VAX-D, I was taking physio at Delta Orthopedic. I resumed “Spinal and Pelvic Stabilization and Muscle Strengthening” exercises. I have had little or no back pain since VAX-D treatment.

            I believe the VAX-D treatment in combination with physio exercise has alleviated my condition. My current regimen – 5 miles daily walking, 40 minutes exercise. I do not play golf, tennis or handball or do heavy lifting nor run or jog.

            Further, if treatment had been prompt when my condition was known, it would have served me better.

Dear Dr. Ashton & Professional Staff,

 

            I want to take the time to thank all of you for educating me on what I now consider to be one of the most sensible and cost effective ways to treat a herniated or ruptured disc.

            As you well know my son Chris suffered for about a year with a severe herniation at the L4-L5 level of the lower back.  This condition was a result of an attempt to lift a dock platform out of water.  After approximately a year of suffering with the pain and a severe loss of flexibility he found himself in a position of having to give up something he really enjoyed doing, playing college football. 

            Being a concerned father and coach, we visited a respected Sports Injury Clinic in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  After a MRI report confirmed the problem, we were basically given two options.  The first was back surgery and the second was a conservative approach which involved physical therapy and basically not doing any physical activity that would irritate the ruptured disc. 

            After giving this some serious thought, I came to the conclusion that neither of these two options were acceptable.  First of all, I felt the cost of both options was very expensive to me and my insurance company.  In conjunction with the cost factor, I really did not feel that the percentage rate for a full recovery was very good.

            After hearing and reading about the VAX-D Therapy from a family member, I decided that it was worth a try.  I know both Chris and myself are very happy we decided to go with the VAX-D Therapy.  We visited your clinic on December 26, 1994 and finished up the therapy on January 11, 1995.

            Chris had his follow up treatment in May, 1995 and at that time was experiencing full flexibility level with no discomfort. He was able to play his senior football season in the fall of 1995 without any problems which made him very happy.

            It was somewhat ironic that I had an incoming freshman this past fall come in with the same condition. Since he is from Illinois, he decided to use the VAX-D Therapy clinic in Chicago, Illinois over our Christmas Holiday break. So far he is experiencing the same positive results as Chris did.

            After being associated with these two cases of being successfully treated with the VAX-D Therapy, I would strongly recommend the VAX-D Therapy for any person looking for a bonafide and cost effective treatment for lower back pain.

            Once again thank you for a successful and rewarding experience.

 

Best Wishes,

Dear Sir,

 

            I have been a body builder for over eight years. One day at the gym, I was doing some Heavy Dead Lifting. I felt a snap in my back that caused me terrible pain. I couldn’t train at all and was in constant pain. I went to a doctor and had X-Rays done. I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve pressing on my spine and a compressed spine. The pain got so bad I couldn’t even put on my shoes.

            I had heard about VAX-D and decided to give it a try. Well after just the first treatment I was able to begin my training again. Now after completing the therapy, I am

Totally pain free and am training harder than ever before. I am so glad I decided on VAX-D instead of surgery.

 

Yours Truly,

            My name is DARON NOWARK and I just wanted to say my treatment has been nothing short of a “miracle” for me. I can’t tell  you how pessimistic I was initially due to years of suffering and other doctors. My back was injured over 2 years ago in a car wreck. I’ve been treated by osteopaths, GP’s, a neurosurgeon, an anesthesiologist and been to a pain management clinic. I have been unable to work for over 2 years and my pain in my back and legs is at times so bad I lay awake at night and cry in pain.

            Today I am nearly pain free and returning to work. Treatment by the doctors and the VAX-D here at this office cured me. I only wish someone could have directed me here 2 years ago.

            Thank you so much!

 

Yours Truly,

Daron Nowark
