Relief has arrived for many in North Fulton and Cherokee Counties.  Patient Ralph Vaughn describes it this way, "Before I started spinal decompression treatments I was unable to do anything such as work, hunt and fish, or yard work.  I was basically crippled.  When it was at its worst, I felt like I would never be able to do anything again, and I was concerned every day that the problem was getting worse.  I was told drugs and surgery were the only alternatives that I had."

"The severe pain that I was in and the disability and fear that I may never walk again were some of the factors that led me to seek care at the SpinalAid clinic.  I also did not want surgery because I was told that there was only a 50/50 chance that it would work."

"I have never seen such caring people at a doctor's office.  I am one tough SOB but I was in tears from the severe pain I was in. What I like most is that I have not had to recuperate from surgery and have not had to take pain pills, and that the staff is friendly and caring and they have helped me."

Back pain sufferers who have experienced this medical breakthrough, not only have relief of pain, but are now able to live their lives to the fullest. The American Journal Of Pain Management, published that 86% of patients with herniated intervertebral discs obtained lasting relief with this scientific discovery.

This medical breakthrough works by reversing the pressure that builds up in the disc as it increases the disc height at the same time.  This has been proven effective in cases of herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, stenosis, degeneration, and arthrosis.  There are no drugs and no surgery involved.  According to a published report in the New England Journal Of Medicine, 1988,  51% of all back surgery is unnecessary.

Dr. Williams can't suppress his enthusiasm for the results they have seen in their Woodstock office, "My biggest thing is being able to reach those people who were unreachable. That's what is exciting about this, because before SpinalAid I would see a patient and know 'I can't help him,' now for many we are able to bring freedom from pain."

"One thing we want to make clear, obviously is that if someone really is in dire need of surgery there are insistencies where it is a 'have to'.  Here, we are dealing with the major percentages where it is not a 'have to'.  Dr. Emerson Cochran, MD is a board certified internist and semi-retired vascular surgeon, who works together with us to evaluate all potential patients.  He sees all our patients at the beginning of their program to clear them, just to make sure they are good candidates.  He reads the MRI's, he reads any x-rays we have, and he does a full medical exam just to make sure the patients are healthy enough to receive treatment.
