"I have suffered from chronic and severe low back pain for 20 years, having worked in construction my back always seemed to hurt and I was diagnosed with multiple lumbar disc herniations. After the seventh or eighth treatment on Spinal Decompression I was almost completely pain free and as the treatment progressed the pain has completely resolved. Before Spinal Decompression treatment I had contemplated quitting work because of the pain."

"For many, many years I tried various medications, topical treatments, chiropractors, pain clinics, injections, laser pain treatments and other unsuccessful remedies for my back pain. After having tried so many things, much to my amazement, after only a few
Spinal Decompression treatments, I definitely felt relief. Now, as I near the completion of my treatment program, I know that DRX is the answer to the back pain relief that I was unable to find for so many years. I feel like I finally have my life back and would strongly recommend that anyone with back trouble at least look into DRX to see if they can find the remarkable help that I found."

"I was tired and frustrated because the medication and/or shot I was getting for the pain from my degenerative discs and sciatica was not helping. So when I heard about Spinal Decompression program, I decided to give it a try. Not instant relief but after a week of 4 treatments, I could tell the difference. The treatments are not painful, more relaxing actually. I'd highly recommend it to anyone with back problems. I'm back to doing many things to which I'd been restricted."

Dr. Kollar,

"I couldn't have done this with out your help of Spinal Decompression machine treatments. I'm so happy I came and took the time to check it out. To good to believe, I was a little skeptical. You showed me how you wanted to make me pain free and saved me from surgery down the road. What a blessing now I'll be able to do things I haven't for years without help of others. Talked to friends and family about it and all said 'Go For It' and now they are so happy to hear about my results. I cannot thank Dr. Kollar enough for helping me. I'm a walking miracle. God Bless you.

Ps. Now I'll be able to do Polka Hop dancing all the time, which I thought I wouldn't be able to do the rest of my life. I said goodbye to pain."

Dear Dr. Kollar,

When I first met with you to talk about whether I would be a good candidate for Spinal Decompression I was sure that you would come back into the room and tell me that you didn't think it was going to do anything for me. I have had consultations with two surgeons, a neurologist, three orthopedists, three general practitioners, two chiropractors, and two naturalists with the same result- 'I can't help you." I was so used to having doctors tell me that I was going to have to live with my spine the way it is and you shocked me when you said you might be able to help. You were honest and told me that the machine would not help with the structural damage but you felt it would help with some things. I had nothing to lose.
After having trigger point injections, epidural injections, caudal injections, facet joint injections, physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, pool therapy, and then having to settle into living on pain medications I had pretty much exhausted all of my resources. Even with the medications I was still having trouble getting out of bed in the morning and was not exercising at all.
Now that I am done with my treatments on Spinal Decompression I am able to get out of bed most mornings without severe pain and I am up to walking 2 miles a day at least 5 days a week. I have noticed that I do not need to toss and turn at night to relieve pain so my sleep is so much better. I am thankful for each moment I get that I have less pain than I used to have. Thank you to Dr. Kollar, Emily, and Spinal Decompression. I am pleased with the results I got from my treatments at NB Chiropractic. "

Sincerely,
Rachel Danberg-Howard Lake, MN

"I underwent my first spinal surgery (discectomy L5/S1) in 1974 and since then I have had many bouts of acute back and leg pain. The most recent (August 2006) created significant leg pain and an MRI confirmed L4/5 to be the problem area. I really thought that this time I would have to undergo surgery to get relief. However, after being treated by Dr Kollar and Spinal Decompression my leg pain is almost completely resolved after about two months of treatment. Anyone with chronic back pain knows that surgery should be a last resort and Spinal Decompression has proven in my case to be a great alternative. It utilizes the proven principal of "decompressing" the spine to promote healing and reduce pain and for me it has made all the difference."

Dear Dr. Kollar,

I am a 79 year old woman. I have always been active and social. At my age, we expect some aches and pains. Mine was my right leg. For months it seemed that at times I would get a dull ache in my back into my hip and down my leg. My doctor didn't seem too concerned. I tried to stay active and push through.

The pain became severe. I could not stand on my right leg. I had pain day and night. I could not sleep. I was confined to bed. During that time my medical doctor game me pain pills and prescribed physical therapy. A CAT scan told my doctor that I had a bulging disc that was pressing on a nerve. I was given a cortisone injection. There was talk of back surgery. At this point I was in a wheelchair and bed ridden. I used a walker to get around the house. I could not shop, nor cook or do any of the things of everyday life. I had to have a nurse come to the house to help me bath and dress. I felt like a cripple. Being a social person, the confinement was depressing.

I slowly made my way into your office using my walker. I felt so much pain due to a bulging disc in my lower back. If I put any weight on my right leg I experienced severe pain. When I met you, you were so optimistic and said to me, "You won't need that walker much longer." I was afraid Spinal Decompression machine treatments would make it hurt more. It didn't. I didn't get results right away. After 5 treatments something dramatic happened. I slept through the night. My pain was going away! On my 6th visit I walked in without the walker. After each treatment, the pain stayed away a bit longer.

I have completed 20 treatments. I have my life back! No more confined to bed. No more wheelchair. No more walker. I can go shopping, I can cook and enjoy my social life again. No more talk of surgery or cortisone shots because I don't need them.

I would recommend to anyone with back or leg pain to try Spinal Decompression. It worked for me and I am 79 years young!

Thank you Dr. Kollar and God bless you.

I have had degenerative disc disease for 15 years. My back would go out 1-2 times per year. I would be out of work for 7-10 days with each episode. I would see my chiropractor 2-3 times and get ultrasound and adjustments, it would always make my back better, but I never felt confident of long term results, I felt these treatments were just treating my pain short term and not getting to the real problem. I heard about Spinal Decompression on TV. I set an appointment with Dr. Kollar and he determined I was a candidate for Spinal Decompression. I started the six week program. When I started the program I also had developed severe sciatica in my left leg due to my last back episode. I started feeling results at 2 weeks and at the end of my 6 weeks the sciatica pain was gone. Spinal Decompression gave me no pain during the treatments it was very easy to use. My back also felt better than it had in years. I will continue to use the exercise and stretching to help my condition along with 3-4 visits per year to Dr. Kollar for maintenance. I feel confident that my back pain will stay away much longer now with the proper maintenance and exercise.

I would like to thank you for convincing me to do Spinal Decompression program. When I started the program I was in so much pain from my degenerative discs that I was taking 16 Advil a day for at least 6 months. After starting your program, in the last 6 weeks I have had a total of 8 Advil. With the removal of leg pain, I have strength back in my legs and am able to walk miles, not just a couple of blocks. This may not sound remarkable to people who have not had back problems, but after 5 years of different therapies, I am most appreciative.
Thank you again, and I would highly recommend you to anyone with back problems.

With Sincerest Thanks,

Dan Thomas
