The recurring neck and back pain that I had limited my activities sometimes because I had to stop what I was doing sooner than planned, as I always knew that either my back or neck would `give out' before I was done what I was doing. When the pain in my lower back was at its' worst, I would have trouble sleeping or getting comfortable when lying down. I also couldn't lift my son, or help with chores around the house, or work on my hobbies. I was very concerned that if I didn't further explore possible treatments, adjust stuck with a chiropractic adjustment once a month (or more as needed), that the problem would never really go away, and with age, it would probably just get worse, and more frequent.
I did take pain relievers and NSAIDS almost daily to offset the discomfort. The factors that led me to seek care were primarily the desire to do something positive to get better, and notjust stay in the same routine of pain medication, sleeping on an ice pack, and chiropractic adjustments.
Constantly having to tell my son that "I wouldn't play with him right now because my back hurt", was becoming increasingly depressing!
The desire to try something new and possibly revolutionary, as the old routine wasn't helping to make my back any better; at best it was keeping me from being in discomfort constantly.
I heard about Dr. Nahali's office through a brochure that I saw in the newspaper.
My experience has been positive, thanks to Dr. Nahali and the non surgical spinal decompression my back hasn't hurt for weeks, and thanks to the Posture Pump he recommended, my neck also hasn't `gone out' on me for quite a few weeks as well.
Between my desire to get better and be able to do more for my family and for myself, along with the desire and willingness of Dr. Nahali and his staff to help me get better, we have worked together to improve my health and well-being.
I would tell another person with the same problem to come in to Dr. Nahali's office and discuss it with him-I believe the therapy works and although I may have been nervous at first, I quickly became used to the procedure. Quite often I took a nap during the treatment, as it's difficult to fmd `downtime' during my busy days, and this procedure gives you that opportunity, while at the same time working on your spine as required.
Both Dr. Nahali and Jamie are very friendly, competent and professional. The waiting time before my therapy is always very short, and I like the opportunity to `take a break' while on the decompression table, so I can relax while getting the therapy.
In my opinion pain medication ice packs, and chiropractic adjustments are simply temporary forms of relief, that do not solve the problem long-term if one has disc problems, but are used just to keep you going and from having too much pain and/or discomfort I truly believe that the Spinal Decompression will have lasting effects, when combined with the required exercise.
