“This is worth driving 120 miles for treatment!”

One of These Stories Could be Yours

Trinity Medical Center

 

I had been suffering with low back pain for four months before I came to Trinity.  The pain started in my back, and then went down my right leg, from my hip to my foot.  I had already tried chiropractic, injections and pain medications.

I really wasn’t sure what to expect of the DRX9000™ therapy.  However, after the relaxing dry hydrotherapy and the slow pulling therapy of the DRX9000™, I could not wait for the next treatment.  Almost immediately the pain level went down.  After the first two weeks, I was almost pain free.

Don’t hesitate, just do it.  You will be glad you did.  Call Dr. Helmendach and set up a consultation visit.  I am sure glad that I did.  Consider the other alternatives: living with the pain or major surgery.  I chose the DRX9000™:  it’s painless and relaxing.  Let Dr. Keith and Dr. Kelley and their wonderful staff help you today.

I gave up tennis, bowling and light jogging.  Couldn’t give up golf, but play was slow and even then I would be in pain afterwards.  I felt a positive change after the first week of treatment.  By the grace of my Higher Power, I see myself returning to all activities – and perhaps breaking 90 in golf!
~ Ed Karabela, Charlotte, NC

 

I’d had pain in my lower spine off and on for about one and half years prior to coming to TMC.  I’d given up gardening, which is my favorite hobby.  I tried physical therapy and pain medications before trying the DRX9000™. 

My first impression of non-surgical spinal decompression was that it was a wonderful concept.  I thought it would help or I would not have started the treatment.  After about 3 or 4 treatments, I noticed a positive difference in the way I felt.  This is worth driving 120 miles for treatment!

“Take a Leap of Faith.”

DRX9000™ Patients Speak about Their Therapy

Trinity Medical Center

 

I would say it was about the second week after I started treatments on the DRX9000™ that I started feeling a difference.  I was able to stop taking pain medication.  Now I’m feeling so good that, in addition to returning to the activities I love, I’m going to stop smoking.

Take a leap of faith.  Sometimes you must put yourself first!  I am extremely glad I did!!!  I thought I had to live with my back pain forever.  I am so glad I was wrong. 

Thank you to the Office Staff and Dr. Kelley for making me more than welcome here.
~ Joseph Barnes, Rock Hill, SC

It was toward the very end of my therapy that I felt a change.  My problems have existed for so long that it took a little more time than the average treatment, but if I had the money to do it all over again, I would.  I would also have maintenance treatments.

I was on the verge of having surgery.  I feel the DRX9000™ treatments have been a preventive method to back surgery.  I have a lot more flexibility in my limbs.

Do it!  Don’t wait.  As soon as you experience back problems.  The DRX is the way to go.  It has helped me tremendously and I have chronic back problems.  The DRX is an excellent treatment.
~ Brenda S. Venning, Spencer, NC

On the second week of treatments, I began to feel an improvement.  I can now see myself being able to clean my house the way I want it done, as well as yard work and gardening.  I also will be able to perform my job duties.

Do your exercise daily, drink your water and depend on God and the treatment to do the job for you.  If anybody has any kind of back problem, try this first!

“It’s worth every dime!”

DRX9000™ Patients Declare Life-Changing Experiences

Trinity Medical Center

My 39-year-old son was diagnosed with a problem last fall and the surgeon wanted to schedule surgery immediately.  He wanted a second opinion and I told him about the DRX9000™.  He went through the treatment and voila!  No pain now!

About a month ago (February 2008), I was barely able to walk.  My son made me promise to call Dr. H, and here I am. 

Where did it hurt?  Low back, buttocks, down the back of my right leg (sometimes left leg.)  I had tingling/numbness/burning/soreness in my left leg and foot.  The next day it would be the right leg and foot.  The symptoms never went away.

My first impression of the DRX9000™ was that it felt wonderful.   As long as I was on the DRX9000™, I had no pain!  I’m not sure when I first started to feel a real difference.  It was a gradual thing, but I remember on February 28th, when I got off the machine, for the first time in years, I was absolutely pain free!  I had no ache/weakness feeling in my back.  I had no pain anywhere!

Do it today!  Don’t put it off!  It’s worth every dime!
~ Dot Hartis, Indian Trail, NC

I couldn’t hold my arms up for long, while trying to fix my hair.  I’d had to miss time from work because my neck would be so stiff until I could hardly get out of bed.  I always had to be careful of what I did.

After my first full week of treatments, I could really feel the difference.  It’s working for me and has made me feel better.  Try it!
~ Audrey Haze Davis, Charlotte, NC

I didn’t want to take the risk of surgery, having talked to so many people who had done it with poor results.  I wanted something that wouldn’t involve high risk or harmful side-effects.

I’m now looking forward to getting back to all the things I had to limit or cut.  I’d encourage anyone with a similar problem to consider treatment on the DRX9000.  Don’t hesitate – you only have one life to live!

I was so thrilled to learn that I was a candidate for the DRX9000™ Spinal Decompression.  My MRI revealed bulging discs and more.  The machine is miraculous!!!  It provides relief.  Along with each session you get a cold pack and electric muscle stimulation and much, much more!  It’s like going to a spa; however, you are under the care of professional doctors and a staff that cares, listens and monitors your progress on a daily basis.  I have never been in a more professional, caring environment in my entire life.

I have never written a testimonial before, but I want to tell the world that the entire staff at the clinic are the best.  You will never find better care anywhere else.  If you have pain, call Eleanor for your appointment and see if you are a candidate for the DRX9000 treatments.  It is truly a blessing to healing.

I couldn't get in and out of a car without excruciating pain. I had to totally give up weight lifting and what I love most: jogging. Even pleasure walking was out of the question. My life was over.

On the 6th treatment on Spinal Decompression, I felt a tremendous release in my lower back. On the 7th & 8th, I had two more "releases," and I began feeling less and less pain. What a relief! I could smile again.

Now I can do most anything. Just today, I walked seven miles and jogged one mile - all without any pain.

Try it! I am so thankful I did it. I never knew I could live again without any pain. I have my life back!!!

~ Dr. Richard J. Walker

I was on disability and not working. My sleeping pattern was interrupted. I couldn't walk 50 feet without experiencing painful jolts in my shin, knee, thigh and hips. I felt imprisoned in my own home. I had an MRI that showed 4 bulging discs. I had been scheduled for lower back surgery when I found out about Spinal Decompression. I decided to try it.

Unbelievably, after one treatment I began to feel some relief. By the end of 5 treatments, I could tell that this was having an enormously positive effect on my lower back and recurrent leg pain. I have now returned to all my previous activities: hiking, yoga, aerobic exercise, recumbent biking and especially walking with my daughter at the zoo!

My advice to someone considering Spinal Decompression decompression: DO IT! Avoid surgery and a spinal fusion, like I did.

I'd had to give up fishing, hunting, golf and any activity that required walking or standing for long periods of time. After the fourth treatment, the leg pain was minimal and the back pain was down about 50%. After only six treatments, I had no leg pain and only minor back pain. Now that I've finished the treatments, I am able to do all of the activities that became impossible when I had the leg and back pain.

As a licensed practical nurse, I'm skeptical about new therapeutic technology. But my results speak for themselves. I was unable to go shopping or to the movies or to take walks with my grandchildren. I couldn't do any routine housework. I now look forward to returning to all those things I'd had to give up, including work.

I would offer these words of encouragement to someone considering Spinal Decompression treatments: try this remarkable alternative as opposed to surgery. Follow all of Dr. Helmendach's recommendations. This treatment is the answer to back pain. Dr. Helmendach and his entire team are to be trusted.

I felt a change after the first treatment. I would strongly recommend it to others with back pain.

~ Robert Morris

After three treatments I noticed that the constant throbbing had stopped. What words of encouragement would I offer someone considering treatment on Spinal Decompression ? It works!

~ Melanie Nichols

I thoroughly recommend Spinal Decompression. It has worked for me - no more pain!

~ L.B. Hickman
Mooresville, NC

I have a very active lifestyle, including hiking, gym workouts, aerobics, etc. When I came to Trinity Medical Center to learn about Spinal Decompression, I had lower back pain and tingling in both legs. I had already tried cortisone injections in my lower back, which didn't fix my problem. My lower back MRI revealed that I had 3 bulging discs.

After only a few treatments, I feel better already; I am in noticeably less pain. I was even able to sit through a six-hour seminar without pain! Fantastic!

I now have hope. I am encouraged that I will be back to doing the things that I enjoy most - with an even greater appreciation for them!

By the end of the first week I felt a change. It was wonderful - still is! I'd tell others, "Try it - you'll like it and so will your discs!"
