"I had constant lower back pain that had prevented me from normal exercise. Before spinal decompression on the DRX 9000, I tried physical therapy and chiropractic treatments which did not help much. I even considered surgery, but then I saw an ad in the newspaper for the DRX 9000. When I started the spinal decompression, it generally reduced my pain by 100%, 80% of the time. During the treatments, I relaxed and read my book. The treatments were very comfortable. Be patient and have faith in the technology. Treatments allowed me to continue exercise and normal walking functions."

"My back pain was so bad that even simple things, such as getting dressed, putting on socks and tying shoes became very difficult. I would occasionally miss work due to pain and also gave up exercise all together. I relied on family members to help with dinner, laundry, cleaning, and shopping so I wouldn't have to move. I have tried anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, and pain management specialist, none of which seemed to work. I was very afraid that I would need surgery, but then I saw an article in the Stamford Advocate about the DRX 9000. When I started treatments, I noticed a difference after my first session and I kept on feeling better. The DRX treatments were so comfortable and at times I was so relaxed that I would fall asleep. I have already recommended the DRX treatment to others. I tell people that the DRX treatments helped me tremendously and I am finally able to live a normal, pain-free life."

"I had severe pain at my right hip going down my leg to the ankle, making going up the stairs painful and pain on rising from a seating position. I had to wait a few minutes before I could walk and when I took the first few steps it was very painful. At times I would have to go upstairs hanging on the railing with both feet on each step. I really did not know what the problem was until I had an x-ray and a MRI done. I had tried chiropractic treatments which helped to some degree, but then I saw an Ad in the newspaper about the DRX 9000. After 4 treatments, I noticed changes in my back pain. The treatments are very comfortable and relaxing. Its incredible! What a great alternative to surgery or painkillers."

"I am writing this thank you to Associates in Chiropractic. I have had back problems from my neck to my low back-spinal stenosis, arthritis, bone spurs, disc problems, etc. I have been a patient of Associates In Chiropractic for many years and have always been able to play golf several times a week, exercise daily, and commute into New York City to teach even though I am 73 years old.
But, a few years ago, I had a fall and afterwards I began having significant spinal pain. Unfortunately, my usual treatments were not enough to keep me out of pain. I even convinced my wife to buy a new mattress for $1,500, but the back pain persisted.
Dr. Joachim suggested that I have an MRI on my back to determine if I was a candidate for a new machine for spinal decompression called the DRX 9000. He explained that this was the best technology in the world to actually heal my spine especially the discs and to take pressure off of my spinal nerves without the potentially severe side effects of drugs and surgery. This consisted of 20 sessions on the DRX usually 3 times a week and each treatment lasted approximately 1 hour. The whole treatment included 10 minutes of hot packs on my spine to relax my muscles, then 28 minutes and 15 seconds on the DRX 9000 (28 minutes and 15 seconds of the best sleep ever) and then 15 minutes of an electric muscle stimulator to continue to decrease the pain, spasm and inflammation. I was also given nutritional supplements to help heal the joints of my spine, a special back brace and exercises.
Presently, I have completed all 20 visits. Happily, I can say I am pain-free for the first time in years! I am able to get up each morning, do my exercises, swim one-half mile 3 times a week and I plan to play golf at least twice a week when the weather gets warmer! Not bad for 73! I am grateful to Dr. Joachim for suggesting the DRX 9000-it was the best treatment I could have received and I have already recommended it to others!"

"I had pain in my left hip which went all the way down the legs. I could not walk right when I got out of the car or when I stood up from the chair. I had tried exercises that helped somewhat but the pain still affected my life even though I did everything. I saw an Ad in the Connecticut Post about the DRX 9000. After 6 to 7 DRX treatments, I had noticed a change in my pain and now I can perform my activities much better. The treatments were very relaxing. If a person is in pain and the pain goes up to 8-10 on a scale of 1-10, he or she must give DRX 9000 a chance and try the treatments. The treatments change the way you are feeling and you gain confidence again."

My name is Robert Fisher. I saw a DRX 9000 ad on a local Newspaper. Before that, I have had back pain which deteriorated more and more over 25 years. I had limited ability to do things like yard work or walking more than short distance without developing back ache. I tried physical therapy for a while. That helped me a just little bit, but not enough. When I started the DRX treatment, it wasn't until the 15th session that I started to feel the real difference. The treatment was mostly comfortable. I dozed most of the time. After finishing the whole treatment, I can do more things for longer time before developing a back ache. If this lasts, or if a maintenance program maintains it, I will be well satisfied.

"My leg and low back were very very painful and it hurt so bad all the time that I wanted to just cry. This pain affected my life a lot that I could not exercise any more. It was so hard to sit at work and not think about the pain. I could not clean my house and it was hard to join in with the family activities. I had tried physical therapy which did not help the pain. My friend and my husband read about the Axiom DRX 9000. I started treatment and noticed a change in my back pain in about 20 treatments. The DRX treatments were definitely very relaxing. I would tell others with this problem to definitely try it before any kind of surgery because it can definitely make a difference to helping you start feeling better and doing things again that you could not do without surgery."

“I had constant lower back and right buttock pain which was a 6/7 out of 10 on the pain scale. My neurosurgeon did not give me enough confidence that the surgery would take away the pain. The constant pain affected every phase of my life. Before Spinal Decompression on Spinal Decompression I tried physical therapy of every kind, acupuncture, pain medicine and massage therapy. These therapies had limited and short term effects and relief. I did not opt for surgery because the chance for a cure had a low percentage for success. When I started Spinal Decompression I felt improvement after 3-4 sessions. The treatment was most comfortable and did not involve any discomfort. It worked for me and makes my daily life much more enjoyable.”

"I was referred to Dr. Sloves and Dr. Joachim by a co worker and patient of theirs. My pain started in my lower back and shot right down my legs (mostly my right), into my feet. My pain affected my life greatly. I took many anti inflammatory drugs just to be able to put in a full day at work. I wasn’t able to do my daily chores without discomfort and exercise became non existent. I tried physical therapy, injections and pain medications none of which helped. Before I discovered Spinal Decompression I had surgery scheduled and was all set to go through with it. I’m glad I didn’t! After the 2nd treatment I had relief! I found Spinal Decompression treatment relaxing and I chose to use the quiet time to slow down and re-group. There’s no pain involved, this treatment is amazing! I would highly recommend the treatment to anyone suffering from back pain and leg pain. It is amazing how fast the relief comes. It changes your whole outlook on your life. I am not taking anymore pain or anti inflammatory meds! I am able to do my daily chores without pain and discomfort and am slowly introducing exercise back into my life. I never take a day of feeling strong and pain free for granted. This is the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time!"

“I was referred to Dr. Joachim from my massage therapist, Wes Small. The severity of my low back pain and leg numbness prevented me from sleeping, working and doing anything! I tried physical therapy for five weeks together with acupuncture which did not work. I noticed a change in my back pain after the first visit! The treatment was very relaxing and I would fall asleep during it. I would recommend it because it worked for me in that I am now able to do anything. I am back to work and able to sleep without the use of pain medication. Now I am a very happy person being able to do things. I could not do for almost 5 months. I also want to add that I am very pleased to know Dr. Joachim and Dr. Sloves. They are very wonderful doctors and thank you so much for your help.”

“I had been suffering with stiffness and pain in the lower back accompanied by left leg numbness. These symptoms hampered my work, exercise and my golf game. I had been receiving chiropractic adjustments which did help somewhat. I noticed after approximately the 10th session on Spinal Decompression that I started to notice a change in my low back pain. The treatments I found to be comfortable and relaxing. For anyone with lower back pain looking for a non invasive treatment, Spinal Decompression should be experienced for the reduction of the lower back pain.”

“My name is Ronald Chavarria and I’m 28 years old. I was suffering from disc bulges with facet arthrosis, sac compression and bilateral neural canal narrowing which was causing me great back pain and kept me from daily routine activities. My doctor referred me to the hospital because he said the only solution to my problem was surgery. It wasn’t until I found the chiropractor clinic of Dr. Mark J. Joachim. He was the one that brought back hope when he told me that he knew a solution to my problem without needing surgery and would be less costly. The treatment he gave me was 20 session on Spinal Decompression machine. Thanks to this I quickly began to feel better, with out the necessity of surgery and medications. Two months have passed and my recuperation has been of 100%. Thanks to Dr. Mark Joachim for returning my well being physically and mentally.”
