WRITTEN TESTIMONIALS:

•            “Being pain free is an absolute God-send!”  Timothy Sutton could only stand for 1 to 2 hours, could not put his socks on in the morning, and could not perform simple chores around the house.  “There was a day that I thought that surgery was my only option.  Thank God I tried Spinal Decompression!  Now I can keep my job because I am able to stand for 12 hours, I can put my socks on by myself, and I can finally help my wife around the house!  I no longer feel like a broken down man when I get home from work, my quality of life is MUCH better, and I have been given a new lease on life!”  –Tim Sutton    Marion, OH.

•            “I rate it a 100!”  Donald Smith states that he had a “very, very good experience”.  “I can get around a lot better without pain and I really feel great!  I would recommend it to anyone with back trouble”. –Donald Smith Marion, OH.

•            “Pain Free!  In the last 5 and 1/2 years, I have had surgery on my back, had spinal injections, and had been taking several medications for my pain.  I was in so much pain that I did not want to go on living with the pain.  After doing Spinal Decompression therapy, I am no longer taking pain pills, I can spend time with my family, and am much more pleasant to be around.  I feel like a new man, and I can actually get out of bed every morning without being in pain.”  –Robert Martin   Bucyrus,  OH.

•            “I am able to enjoy life with my family with a quality I never thought possible.  I am 34 years old and I felt like life was over for me.  I suffered from pain, stiffness, tingling and numbness, from the base of my skull to the middle of my back.  Since I tried Spinal Decompression therapy, I no longer have headaches, pain, stiffness, or insufferable moods.  I am completely off all medications and am free to enjoy life with my family”. –Heather Triplett    Marion, OH.

•            “Without back pain, I have an overall better quality of life!  The DTS Spinal Decompression treatments were able to relieve my back and leg pain, which was most painful in the beginning.” –JoAnna Fields    Richwood, OH.

•            “I find the thoroughness of the Spinal Decompression program to be very beneficial.  I have had improvement in posture, strength, chewing and swallowing.  I am able to perform my household tasks much easier and walking has become much less painful.  I used to choke while eating and I no longer do that!”  –Carolyn Hickle    Marion, OH.

•            “None of the “usual” medical treatments worked for my low back and hip pain.  I thought that surgery was my only answer to my pain.  After learning about Spinal Decompression therapy, I had hope.  In my first week of treatment, I had significant lessening of back spasms (spasms that would literally throw me into furniture).  I have now experienced improvement in overall relief of pain and am able to stand longer.  I’m sure that I could do housework better, if I could just get myself to do it!”  –JoAnne Decker    Marion, OH.

•            “My 4 year old grandchild couldn’t even sit on my lap because I was in so much pain.  Before Spinal Decompression, I was told to learn to live with the pain.  It was easy for my doctor to say that because he wasn’t the one in pain.  Now, after Spinal Decompression, I can do things that I never thought I would ever be able to do again.  My grandson can now sit on my lap and I can even ride bikes with him and that is the greatest feeling in the world.  Also, I can get out of bed without pain pills and I can wake up knowing that I won’t have pain!”  –Mary Griffith    Marion, OH.

•            “My pain was so intense that I had trouble walking to my desk or my car 200 feet away.  Walking to the third floor of my office building was out of the question.  I was no longer able to do the aerobic classes that I had participated in for better than 12 years, work in my flower beds, clean my house, enjoy a day of shopping, and most importantly, lift my 1 year old grandson!  I tried numerous ways to correct the problem including yoga, pilates, bed rest and pain management that only offered me prescription drugs.  None of them worked.  Now after Spinal Decompression therapy, I can gradually return to what I need to do, being a self reliant, active, baby  –Karen Lanius  Marion, OH.

•            “I could hardly get out of my car at the end of my work day!  I had a bulging disc and I felt like I was ninety years old!  I could not even turn over in bed at night without moaning in pain.  I thought I was going to have to change my job due to the physical nature of my job, and I could feel myself getting worse and worse.  All that has changed.  After Spinal Decompression therapy, I feel 100% better, I’ve gotten rid of the awful pain, and I guess I’ll be at my job for another eighteen years!”  –Marilyn DesJardins  Marion, OH.

•            “August 29th,2007 was my first day on the spinal decompression bed. The staff at the Ohio Neck and Back Pain Relief Centers were very friendly and courteous. The treatment on the DTS gave me the most relief. The fact that the pain is moving around shows me that something has been accomplished. Now I am able to rest more and move around in bed without fear of not getting up.”  –Lloyd Klingel

•            “I first became a patient on the spinal decompression table July of 2007. I Think this practice is excellent and I am very satisfied with the care that I received. I wasn’t able to play golf or drive so it made me extremely happy when I was able to do those things again. Dr. Scot and Seth are excellent in there profession and the staff is very friendly and super nice.  – Don Hayes

•            “I became a patient in late May 07. The office was very prompt courteous and accommodating if you have to change an appointment. I was very happy with the way that they care about you as a person. My back feels a 100% better now and I can walk like a normal person.  –James Fisher

•            “I started the spinal decompression table about the end of April a few months after an automobile accident. Everyone is very polite and helpful. I got lots of positive feed back which helped me through the tough times. With the therapy I received my pain is 98% gone. I can actually walk and move without being doubled up in pain and muscle spasms. I was able to return to work in a short amount of time without the surgery they were contemplating.”  –Calvin Berry

•            “May 2006 I read about it in the paper, called and they got me scheduled the next day. I am feeling so much better and I’m glad I took the time to come in to the office. The staff was very friendly. I can now do a lot more in my daily work without much pain.”  –Ruth Leibold

•            “Early June 2006 is when I started the spinal decompression table. I am very impressed with the people who work here. They are always friendly and pleasant. The office is run very efficient. The whole treatment program has made me happy because I have improved greatly since the beginning of it.  The exercises have helped a lot in my treatments even though I get a little sore from them. I usually improve as long as I do the exercises consistently. I have gradually improved over the last 5 weeks so much I find myself taking less medication for pain.”  – Teresa Russell

•            “June 6 ,2006 I became a patient. The staff was very pleasant, friendly, concerned about welfare of the patients. They are always willing to work with the patients Schedule. I am motivated a lot more. I am able to walk further distances.  Also my pain is less than when the treatments was started.  I can ride in a car for longer distances.”  –Frankie Daily

•            “I first became a patient June 8,2006. I really like the cheerful, caring staff as well as the knowledge and the feeling of being a part of one big family.  When I was told that I qualified for the triton DTS therapy I would have jumped with joy if I could have because I felt I had found something that would work to relieve or possible eliminate my server leg pain.  And guess what. The pain is completely gone along with the numbness. No I know that I will be able to lead a normal pain free life which I haven’t been able to do for several years.”  –Phyllis Rawlings

AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT:

“My light-headedness has improved.  I also walk more with ease with the hip adjustments.  The nausea left through being adjusted.  I feel stronger, more level out as standing and walking.  I am also feeling happier as my walk is more with ease as at times I had pain.  A special thanks to Debbie in helping me on the insurance so I could get these adjustments.  You pulled me through and thank you for a listening ear.  Thank you again and all your staff.”- Dottie Patterson

SCOLIOSIS

“I came in for a scoliosis evaluation.  I feel a difference on my back; a noticeable improvement.  I have less back pain and it is easier to participate in gym class.  It will give me a better future without having surgery or back pains.”   –  Stephany Davis

 

CELEBRITY TESTIMONIALS:

“I am very fortunate to have, so to speak, my in-house chiropractor, Dr. Franco Colombu, as my own personal chiropractor. He adjusts my wife, my kids, me, everybody gets an adjustment. And we feel always great when Franco leaves. Even when I have athletic injuries, he’s always there for me and helps me. That’s why I always will be traveling … all over the world, talking highly about the profession of chiropractic. You chiropractic doctors are really miracle workers. But every time that I had a problem with an elbow injury, shoulder injury, or back injury, he was always right there with the adjustments. This is the way I found out the best way of going is to use chiropractors, not only after injuries, but also before injury.”3         -Arnold Schwarzegger

“Chiropractic is a wonderful means of natural healing!” – Bob Hope

“Playing in a football game is like being in 30-40 car accidents.”  An article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram explains it all started after the 1994 season when Smith endured a lot of hamstring problems and he began to ask himself some tough questions. “Do I need to get more rest? Do I need to eat better? Do I need a little more training? How can I take care of my body better? Do I need to find a chiropractor? It was time for me to invest in me,” Smith said. “I found a specialist that’s really good in balancing out my body to make sure my hips are rotated right, and my body is functioning properly. I remember somebody telling me that what I put myself in during the games is like having a car wreck every Sunday. It’s against the norm. You can find yourself in awkward positions. That stuff takes its toll. But if you take advantage of the health care, balance your body back out, put it back where it’s supposed to be, you function better, and you recover faster.”     — Emmit Smith

“I’ve been seeing a chiropractor and he’s really been helping me out a lot. Chiropractic’s been a big part of my game.” Joe Montana and 35 of his teammates received chiropractic care right before the 1990 Super Bowl Game. – Joe Montanna

Decathlon Gold Medallist, Dan O’brien says,  “If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal.”  “You obviously can’t compete at your fullest if you’re not in alignment. And your body can’t heal if your back is not in alignment. It was the holistic idea that I liked about chiropractic and that is what track and field is about. Every track and field athlete that I have ever met has seen a chiropractor at one time or another. In track and field, it is absolutely essential. Chiropractic care is one of the things I think that no one has denied or refuted.”

Seven Time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has been receiving chiropractic care since January of 1999, helping him to keep his body together for the harsh demands of the Tour de France. After last year’s Tour de France, Lance said that he could not have won without his chiropractor’s help.

“I have to have an adjustment before I go into the ring. I do believe in chiropractic. I found that going to a chiropractor three times a week helps my performance. The majority of boxers go to get that edge.” –Evander Holyfield

Barry Bonds— Generally regarded as the best player in the major leagues today, he has proven himself, year after year, by raising his level of play to that of the all-time greats of the game. With a recent contract extension, he is now, befitting his enormous talents, the highest-paid player in baseball. “I go to my chiropractor on a regular basis, because I want to prolong my career as long as possible,” he states. “I see him about once a week, in between my training (sessions). By getting an adjustment once a week from him, I feel I can sustain my career a lot longer.”

Jose Canseco: “I’ve found that it’s a great stress reliever to get adjusted. It takes away a lot of the tightness in the muscles”

“Last year I found Dr. Newman (chiropractor), and I have been seeing him ever since. I have been pain-free and feeling terrific. I swear by it. Now, it is just maintenance and keeping in line so the nerves don’t touch.” – Wade Boggs

I do believe chiropractic has really benefited my game. Over the last three years, I feel I have become more exposed to, and knowledgeable about, the benefits of chiropractic for me and my game. I realize how your body can get out of balance, and chiropractic care helps…” – PGA Tour Professional, Fred Funk

Being a chiropractor patient has really helped me immensely…lifting weights and seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis has made me a better golfer. I’ve been going to Chiropractors for as long as I can remember. It’s as important to my training as practicing my swing.” – Tiger Woods
