“Treated for spinal stenosis – severity was 8-9. I was getting severe pain when I walked approximately 10 minutes. When shopping I had to lean on a cart. About 9 years ago I underwent a lower back operation that did not work. I saw an ad on TV and though I would give the procedure a try. Just before treatment my left knee gave out and I had to start shots in the knee. But I still proceeded with the treatment. It worked. NO shooting pain whatsoever. My pain level now is about a 3 and I am looking forward to complete pain free with time. At least I can walk without excruciating pain!”

“Before I came to the spinal aid center with a herniated disc I was in constant pain and had been seeking relief for over two years. I went thought 1 rounds of physical therapy, cortisone injections and consultations with neurologists considering surgery. The pain in my back prevented me from playing sports, exercising and doing simple things like walking around in the mall. At the age of 16 I was beginning to think I would live with back pain for the rest of my life. Now, after treatment I have no pain and I am looking forward to getting stronger and being active again.

“I came to Dr. Milham’s office because of neck and lower back pain. I’ve had back problems for several years and thought that decompression therapy would help me, and I think has helped. I would recommend Dr. Milham to anyone with spinal problems.”

“I started spinal decompression treatments because my lower back was in pain most of the time. I was in an upright position. When lifting; it hurt long after lifting. I could no longer cut firewood or hoe the garden or even swing a hammer very long. I was hopeful the treatments would work. Regular chiropractic treatments didn’t work. After about 10 treatments I noticed I was sitting for longer periods of time and not noticing any pain. Standing even improved, and after 20 visits I have substantially less pain through my overall day. When lifting however, I still get pain on my right side. I am still hopeful that as I strengthen my back muscles that will improve. I was not in good muscular shape when I started treatments because of favoring my back for so long. The treatments were not painful and yes, I would recommend this treatment to other; especially if my back continues to improve.”

“I came here because I have degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine. There was pressure on a nerve that was causing pain and my left leg was useless. I had to use a walker just to walk anywhere. I had tried physical therapy and it wasn’t doing any good. I couldn’t walk therefore I couldn’t work; take care of my son or my house. I was willing to try anything to avoid surgery. I decided to try spinal decompression figuring I couldn’t get any worse. The first treatment was painful for me. After the second treatment I was able to walk with out the walker. After about 8 treatments I felt so much better. I was starting to get back to normal. I would definitely recommend this treatment to anyone who suffers from chronic low back pain.”

“I came to Dr. Milham with a host of back problems. I was in chronic severe pain. I had bulging and degenerative discs, and a lack of energy. Due to a heart condition and fibromyalgia I was not a candidate for back surgery. My consultation with Dr. Milham was very informative and he answered all my questions. I was excited to begin the treatment. At the onset of treatments I was wearing a full back brace, used a walker, and a cane for limited walking. I had lost much of my independence. Treatments started 7/2/2008. The treatments were painless. After about 3 treatments I felt some pain reduction. Soon thereafter I didn’t need the walker! On 8/19/2008 I was able to give up the back brace after 5 ½ yrs! It was a miracle for me. (Before SpinalAid, I was told my condition would worsen and eventually I would be in a wheelchair.) Only a few weeks later I was to give up the cane. My intake of pain meds was reduced dramatically and my energy was restored. Dr. Milham and staff are very professional and friendly. After finishing the treatments I am on a routine program with Dr. Milham for chiropractics and exercise. The program is designed for each patient’s individual needs. I have regained my independence. I feel much better physically and mentally. My family and friends are amazed at the progress I have made and all say it’s a miracle. I have to agree. I would recommend the SpinalAid treatment to anyone who wants painless and fast results for chronic back pain. (Age 59)”

"I had to sit in a chair for one and a half-year. I was in awful pain all of the time. I could not do anything. The Veteran’s Hospital told me I had to get surgery on my back. Since starting non-surgical spinal decompression with Dr. Milham, "I have no pain at all in my back. I can get up and down with no trouble at all. I can do a lot of work now. I used to shuffle my feet, and now I can walk better now. I am glad I came to Dr. Milham's office- I got better for it. Dr. Milham was very good to me. I would tell someone with the same back problems that I had, to get spinal decompression”

"When doing normal activities (tying my shoes, gardening, etc) there was sharp pain that would last for days."
When asked if I was told that I would have to live with my problem or turn to drugs and surgery, "Yes. I was mostly told to use pain pills."
Improvements I have noticed since starting care include "I don't have the fear of doing the wrong thing to cause pain. I can do my yard work and other activities without pain.
"I take no pain medications, and can now do whatever I want."
My experience at Dr. Milham's office: "Everything about the procedure was done in a very professional and caring way. I think I am much better than when I came here. I would gladly tell anyone about this procedure."

“The condition I was treated for was a compressed disk, it was very painful for me to sit or stand for long periods of time. I would have sharp pains from my lower back to my knee. I was going to a chiropractor before hearing about SpinalAid. I was skeptical at first upon my visit but after talking to Dr. Milham and learning about what therapy would entail my doubts and nervousness diminished. I went to treatment four times for five weeks total and I began to see results after about the 4th visit. I was able to sit for a long period of time without pain and did not feel as much pressure in my lower back. Treatment was not painful for me; I felt pressure but it felt better more than worse. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone who is having unsuccessful attempts at relieving their pain and to live a more comfortable life.”

“I was treated for lower back pain and tingling in my right hip as well as shoulder pain. Overall I was quite satisfied with the professional approach taken by Dr. Milham and Dana and was satisfied with the result. While I still have minor occurrences with my lower back they are not as severe and as frequent. I was quite limited at first as to how long I could stand and move but treatments have helped that considerably. While my shoulder still bothers me Dr. Milham has given me exercises to strengthen the muscles in that area. I tried other treatments before and was somewhat skeptical about decompression however I am quite pleased with the result. While I am not completely out of the woods I have hope I can continue to improve my overall condition. The treatments were uncomfortable but painless at first; and became increasingly better as time went on. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who is suffering from back pain.”

“I was treated for spinal degeneration in my lower back. My pain has been in my lower back for about 10years and I am only 32. A relative told me about spinal decompression and said it helped him. I do construction for a living and my back is as important as my hands. I have been to chiropractors and back specialists; all that did was hide the pain with painkillers. Dr. Milham and Dana were great helping and explaining my questions. My back definitely feels better than it did. With the exercises I am doing soon I’ll be playing with my daughter again and ill be back to a normal life.”

“ I came to this office after exhausting all other avenues – cortisone, pills, acupuncture – to name a few. Within 2 weeks I noticed a significant difference. I had been weaker on my feet and couldn’t stand for any length of time. The differences the treatments made were significant and lasting. I had planned a trip to France and was afraid I would be unable to enjoy it because of the walking involved. After one week of treatment I was able to fully enjoy my vacation and able to walk when necessary to enjoy the scenery and environment. Aside from the great therapy, the staff are pleasant and made the treatment a most pleasant and worthwhile experience.”

“When I first began treatment at Dr. Milham’s office I was a little skeptical as to if this was going to work but after a couple treatments I started feeling better. I was diagnosed with herniated, bulging and torn discs. It was painful for me to walk, climb stairs, ect. I was in such pain that even pain medications didn’t help me. Now that I have done the decompression treatments, I am now not taking meds and feel much better. I would definitely recommend these treatments to anyone before the thought of surgery.”

“My experience in the office of Dr. Milham has been one of complete satisfaction and fulfillment of my expectations as a result of my treatment. My lower back and spine was affected by a disc and nerve condition that caused me a great deal of pain at times. I work out actively at the YMCA and I enjoy golf in the summer. The treatment administered by Dr. Milham has given me the ability to participate in physical activity without the pain that I previously suffered – I sincerely recommend that persons having a disability similar to mine experience the same results I have found with Dr. Milham and his staff!”

“I’m 48 years old. I use to be very active; working out 3 days a week and able to do anything I wanted to do without pain. That changed May 2006. The findings were: a spinal disc bulge at L3-4 and L4-5 has a moderate herniation. I’ve lived with pain, numbness and burning in the calves of my legs. The treatments I’ve had have been physical therapy, pain medications, 3 epidural steroid injections and 18 months of chiropractic treatments at a different office. All of the treatments have allowed me to continue to work but activities outside of work were still limited and painful. Most of the time I would be in bed by 7:30 so I could work the next day. I was unsure of spinal decompression so I asked my neurosurgeon. He told me to go for it, it won’t hurt me and if it works he wants to know. I started the treatments 11-19-08. I did have some pain for the first few times but ice packs helped a lot. With in the 12th treatment I could tell thins were getting better for me. My pain was no longer an issue. Dr. Milham has me doing exercises to strengthen my back which is also helping a lot. I think before I lift, so I do things the proper way. If someone is having on going back pain, I definitely recommend spinal decompression therapy. It can only help.”

“My daily pain limited my daily activities. With two active teenage boys and a Child Day Care business I was limited to what I could do with the kids. I couldn’t even tend to my gardens which is a beloved hobby. I saw chiropractors in the past and they helped but it never fixed my back, it only took care of the alignment at the time. I have a bulging disc in the L4/L5 region. Now my back feels great, some pain now only because my back is healing and not I’m using muscles I haven’t used in a while. Overall I’m doing more around the house, with the ids and I don’t have the chronic pain that would stop me before. My left leg that was numb and tingly all the time is now almost gone. I love the office staff and the Doctor. Always happy to see me, answered all my questions, took their time with me. I would recommend this to everyone with back problems. Within two weeks I started to feel better and now I feel like I got my life back.”

“Hi my name is Gerald Simmons I am 72 years old. 8 years ago I was told I have spinal stenosis. I was told at that time there was no cure. I lived with pain, then while watching T.V. I saw an ad for Spinal Aid. I called Dr. J. Milham, had an appointment, Dr. Milham went in detail of the treatments of Spinal Aid and what it could do for me. Finances were no problem as my insurance carrier does not pay for the service. I was approved for easy payments. After approx. 8 visits I was feeling much better being able to do some of the things most people take for granted. Now my visits are finished thanks to Dr. Milham, Dana and SpinalAid. I would refer anyone with spinal problems to contact Dr. Milham.”

“I woke up one morning and could not walk. I am a self-employed contractor in construction. I could not work and perform my work duties. When asked if I was told that I would have to live with this problem or turn to drugs and surgery, Yes. They wanted to send me to pain management, including injections of cortisone and steroids. Since starting care, I am much more productive at work and am able to be more active. I can walk and my pain has been relieved. I am glad that I cam here because I do not have to take any medicine or have any shots. The doctor explains everything in full and is very helpful. He really cares about your care, and all personnel that work here make you feel at home. I highly recommend this office before any other procedure.”

“I want to thank Dr. John and Dana for making it a very enjoyable experience. Dr John is a credit to his craft. I found that spinal decompression has relieved the pain in my lower back drastically after 25 years of constant pain. After my 16th treatment I walked our virtually pain free. I highly recommend spinal decompression to anyone it may help. I believe spinal decompression is a non-invasive, drug free, painless therapy that truly works.”

“Hello, when I started out with spinal decompression I could hardly stand up. My pain level was always around 8-10. I couldn’t walk very far, play with the kids, go fishing-nothing. My doctor told me they couldn’t help me because I had back degeneration and a disc bulge. Then my wife gave me Dr. Milham’s card. He told me that after his treatments I would be fine. Well today I can do all the things I couldn’t do before. I would like to thank Dr. Milham, his wife and staff for a job well done. I would recommend this treatment to anyone with back trouble. So again, thanks for all you’ve done.”

Before non- surgical spinal decompression:
“I could not walk or stand without back pain. I was unable to bend over without pain. When asked with I was told that I would have to live with this problem or turn to drugs and surgery, Yes I was.”
Since starting care:
“I am now able to bend over to pick things up without pain. I can be more active during the day. When asked how my experience in this office has been, it has helped in daily activities. The atmosphere is friendly and I am feeling better when I leave. I would recommend this to someone that has the same problem.”

“I came to Dr. Milham in early Sept. 2008. I had a bulging disc in my low back which pressed on my sciatic on a daily basis. I was told surgery was not an option until I was unable to walk. I drive a school bus and everyday I sat to drive the pain would down my behind and into my leg. It hurt always to sleep- it was never a restful night. After seeing Dr. Milham, I was able to sleep very comfortably by my 3rd to 4th treatment. The program was painless and I leave feeling excellent and believe I will be able to drive a bus for another 20 years without any pain. Thank you so much!”
