Positive Review

I have spondylolisthesis, where two of my vertebrae are pushed forward.  I was in excruciating pain, from my back through my buttocks to my hips. I tried everything - two different chiropractors, acupuncture, physical therapy, injections, etc. The injections worked for a while, but then stopped working, and I was in terrible pain all the time, limping and walking with a cane, couldn't sleep on either side, and was generally miserable because I had this constant throbbing nerve pain that was always there.  I finally decided I couldn't take it anymore, and the day I was supposed to schedule my surgery, I got this postcard in the mail about VAX decompression. I had never heard of it but decided to look into it as a last-ditch effort before surgery. The doctor looked at my MRI and said he thought he could help me.  When I asked what percentage of people are helped with this treatment, he said about 85-90%. That was good enough for me to try it.  I went twice a week for the first 6 weeks or so, then once a week, and now I go every two-three weeks (although I didn't go for months and months during the pandemic and the pain was still never as bad as it was before I started going).  Within about two months, my pain was dramatically reduced. Even though my hips are still tight and in some minimal pain, I'm going to say that the pain was reduced by about 70%.  Before going, I could hardly walk 10 feet with a cane because the pain was so excruciating, but now I can literally walk around the block normally without limping and without a cane. I'm so much better! I highly recommend going for a consultation and bringing your MRI. You won't regret it!
