“I have suffered minor to major back pain for over a decade. Several times I was bedridden and in a lot of pain. The recent injury finally led me to have a full examination, which confirmed three slipped discs. At 37 years of age, I was incredibly frustrated at being rendered so helpless and incapacitated. For a person in my situation, surgery was considered the “only option” by the medical profession and an option that I believe would have left me worse off in the long run.
“I am normally a very active person, but this reoccurring back injury was slowing me down and I knew surgery would slow me down even more. Thankfully Dr. Jere and the team at Family Life had an alternative solution to surgery called VAX-D (Vertebral Axial Decompression). To me the name meant nothing other than a non-surgery solution to solving my back problem.
“The treatments were pleasant and I could sense a change in my back within a few days. At Family Life Chiropractic, VAX-D is not just a spinal treatment, it includes disc nutrition too. This I believe helps you heal faster.
“Of course, it’s not something that is suddenly fixed. It takes time to heal such an injury, but after 5 weeks I was walking straighter than I have in years.
“Now several months later I have a more upright posture and feel healthier.
“As part of the ongoing treatment I am now working with a personal trainer to strengthen my body. This, along with the VAX-D, has changed my physique.
“More importantly I am able to function much better in life. I can pick up my kids and carry things without effort. I really didn’t realize just how sensitive my back had become and how over time I had “subconsciously” adjusted to a weak back, which in turn was causing all sorts of other pain and body problems. Since the treatment, I feel healthier, fitter and strong.
“I can’t thank the team at Family Life enough for their care and support. If you have chronic or mild back pain, don’t wait any longer. See the Team at Family Life and get it fixed. The only regret you’ll have is that you didn’t do it sooner. Cheers!”
