Testimonials


From SpineMED® patient Christine Savio-Heslin:

1. What was your injury/condition?

My problems started 12, maybe 13 years ago, from over-working, standing long hours, lifting heavy objects and just the repetition of walking on hard concrete. It just wore my lower back down. My pain level was always over a 10 and my heel was constantly numb. It was hard to even move.

2. What other treatment options had you considered?

Before I visited Dr. Raya, I saw many different Rheumatologists who each prescribed heavy medications, which just masked the pain, and didn't help my condition at all. When my last medical doctor prescribed me more Percocet and Vicodin I decided to seek alternative help.

3. What were your limitations?

My pain used to prevent me from having a normal life. My lower back hurt so intensely and my foot was so numb I could barely roll out of bed in the morning. I couldn't perform or enjoy any of the things that I liked to do.

4. What were your results?

While receiving treatment on the SpineMED® table I felt very relaxed, comfortable, and fell asleep many times. After my first few weeks of Decompression treatment I was actually able to jump up off the table and finish each day pain free. I just moved into a new home and opened my business, which in the past would have killed me. This year I feel great! SpineMED® really has helped me get back to living and enjoying my life again.




From SpineMED® patient John Durbin:

1. What was your injury/condition?

My injury started 30 years ago, when I started jumping out of airplanes and riding around in armored vehicles in the military. It's an accumulation of a lot of different stresses on my spine. My official diagnosis was a bulging disc at C7/T1 in my neck and of course it was putting a lot of pressure on the nerves going into my arm. I had extreme pain all the way through my right arm.

2. What were your limitations?

My limitations were that I couldn't write. Couldn't write on chalkboard or whiteboard and that was difficult for me because I am a teacher and I have to write a lot.

3. What were your results?

In the past I had a similar problem. About 20 years ago I had a bulging disc but it affected my left side. I went though a form of spinal decompression, back then it took about 2 months, 40 minutes a day. I got the same results with SpineMed® in 21 sessions. And I'm back to 100%.

4. Would you recommend SpineMED® to others?

Would I recommend SpineMED® to others? I got to sleep, I got to use my hands, I'm back to where I was before my injury and I'm extremely happy with what SpineMED® did. Of course I would recommend SpineMED® to other people.




From SpineMED® patient John LeConche:

1. What was your injury/condition?

Well my symptoms were pain in my lower back and down my legs. I could not walk at all. I was dragging both feet behind me as I was walking. So I was looking for a miracle here at Raya's clinic and I found it.

My diagnosis was that it was impossible to operate on me at all from any doctor that I saw, including my family doctor. So, therefore I was looking to find some way of being able to walk again without any pain whatsoever. I did talk to other doctors about this.

2. What other treatment options had you considered?

Well I saw two specialists out in Hartford, that actually operate on backs and they told me that they would not operate on me at all because I would probably come out worse then when I came in.

3. What were your limitations?

My limitations were not able to walk that was number one. Number 2, the other limitation was I couldn't do my stretching exercises. They were so bad that I would have pain in my back and my legs

4. What were your results?

I feel 100% better, OK. 100% better because I could not walk at all and using this SpineMED® really and truly put me back on my feet. I can walk that's number one, I can throw a tennis ball, and I can throw a football, which I couldn't do before. I can even roller-skate, but the doctor told me not to so I don't anymore.

My last treatment was approx 6 months ago. Ok. Since then I feel very good. I have had no problems at all. I take no pills, absolutely no medication, since I was on the SpineMED®.

5. Conclusion...

I am 85 years old, OK. I came in here with Spinal Stenosis, Herniated Disc and a back that was solid bone. No flexibility at all. I feel that it's like a miracle. It is a miracle. I feel like I'm about 22 years old. I can do all the things, including dancing, that I couldn't do before.
