In July 2003 I had a disk (L5) that ruptured and parts of it went down on the sciatic nerve and had surgery to repair it, I never fully recovered as a mater a fact it kept re-rupturing, I went to a few different Doctors to try to fix the problem just to be told that there was nothing more they could do for me the only thing they suggested was NO bending over, NO reaching above my head, NO twisting of my body, NO lifting, NO jerking of my body in any form. I couldn't walk for any length of time without being in severe pain.
I have always been very active. I couldn't sleep at night as the pain was so bad I couldn't get comfortable in any position, I was taking 2 pain pills and 5 Morton just to sleep but the pain pills they gave me just made me sleep all the time, I couldn't function at all.
I couldn't work, play with my Grandchildren or do any of the things I used to love to do; I was scared that I might wind up in a wheelchair. One day I was watching a Medical channel on TV and saw how the Spinal Decompression worked and I checked on line to get as much information as possible, I felt it was worth a try I knew I didn't want to go back in surgery as It didn't work before so I told my husband that I wanted to try it and I got the 800 Number and called to find a Doctor in my area and went for my first visit at that point I had more disks that were rupturing.
I couldn't believe what I heard, my back was fixable without surgery and it wouldn't take forever. I could hardly walk when I first went in to Dr Nahali's office I have been going for my treatments now for one month and I can walk at a normal walk now and I am able to walk for 1 'h hours almost pain free; Dr Nahali and his staff are wonderful and have helped me so much. I have been so excited and pleased over my treatment here that whenever I'm talking to someone and they tell me they have back problems I hand them a pamphlet from his office and tell them how much it has helped me. I let people know that they can get help without surgery and it don't hurt a bit as a mater a fact you feel relief from the disks grinding together, I almost go to sleep while on the table, it is truly amazing.
