" For several years I had chronic back pain, plus pain running from my backside all the way down my leg. the pain in my lower back prevented me from gardening, lifting, anything that was heavy. I was diagnosed with a bulging disc and sciatica.
Since receiving treatment, decompression, etc at the Spinal Aid Center, I am no longer in pain, I can rake, shovel, sit longer and am now ready to be a contestant on "Dancing With The Stars!!!" I would (and have) recommended this treatment to others."

" The pain in my neck and lower back hindered my life dramatically. After 20 sessions of decompression and PT, my symptoms have improved greatly...My lower back had a herniated disc that prevented normal daily life. The decompression table took the pain from a constant 8 to a 1. I would recommend this treatment to anyone. Dr. Milham and his staff are top notch. There is no arrogance, only care and knowledge."

" I had given up on living without pain in my back and leg. The treatments started to work almost immediately and by the end of the 3rd week the pain was gone. I can do things around the house that were painful before treatment with no adverse effects. I would recommend this program to anyone who has back pain."

"I came in with back problems (sciatica) resulting from a fall in 1997. Most of the time before coming to Dr. Milham I had been in pain most of the time. My back would hurt after sitting for long periods of time or also from sleeping positions. I had been to 3 chiropractors, physical therapy and pain management. Almost immediately after coming to Dr. Milham's office, I felt better and was able to do many things with less pain. I found I could move much more easily, bending and stretching with less pain. The decompression process actually felt very relaxing to me and once I got use to the vibrating machine, it helped alot. Today after three 12 hour days of work - it was wonderful. I would highly recommend this spinal decompression. My results were achieved in 24 visits. Thank you Dr. Milham! Greatly appreciated!"

"I was unable to sit or walk for more than fifteen minutes or lie down in bed. I was on pain medications and went to pain management but nothing helped. Then my daughter saw an ad in the paper for Non-surgical spinal decompression. Even though an MRI showed 10 bulging discs, the treatments have really helped me."

"I had suffered with excruciating back pain which projected to my right leg and ankle for two years. My first MRIshowed bulging discs and degenerative osteoarthritis. My doctor referred me to a physical therapist who treated me for month with no success. I was then referred to a chiropractor who treated me for one year and a half. During these two years, so many of my normal activities were curtailed. I had difficulty getting in and out of my car, going shopping and lifting groceries, but more importantly I could no longer participate inactive play or sit on the floor with my grandchildren. Within these two years my husband passed away leaving me with a home and all the maintenance that goes with it. I resorted to emplying someone to clean as well as keep up the grounds. Then my chiropractor had done all she could, we concluded I would have to live with this disability or seek medical help once again. I requested an MRI be taken and my primary doctor concurred. The MRI now showed a herniated disk, bulging disks and degenerative osteoarthritis with a disk pressing on a nerve which was causing the pain and affecting my mobility. At this point, my primary doctor advised I could see a neurosurgeon, try steroid injections or have a procedure called spinal decompression. I made appointments with both a neurosurgeon and the recommended spinal decompression chiropractor. In my new circumstances, it was critical that I choose the most noninvasive procedure in order to continue to live totally independant. Although I was very skeptical of any miraculous outcome, I began spinal decompression therapy. Dr. Milham's manner calmed the anxiety I felt as my first treatment began. I did not experience any more pain than normal and found I was able to relax and be more comfortable with each session. Dr. Milham did the necessary adjustments and muscle techniques for proper alignment and movement. Three weeks into this treatment, I began to feel relief. My pain was less frequent and gradually disappeared entirely. I expected it to return at any moment with the wrong move. Dr. Milham guided me through giving me new instructions and stretching to do at home. I have completed the procedure with the pain completely alleviated. I did not limp, I could sit and walk with no pain, and participate fully once again in my grandchildren's acitivities. I turned 70 years old in March 2011 and thought it would be downhill physically from there. Now, in June 2011 I am living life to the fullest and have renewed hope in remaining independant, active and healthy for a long time to come."

" I have had back pain for most of my whole life. I have degenerated discs and several herniated discs. Pain would hurt just doing housework like vacuuming, dishes, sweeping and other household duties. I tried meds, shots, physical therapy. Nothing helped. Saw ad for Spinal Aid Decompression so made appointment. Was amazed how I felt even after first treatment. The 24 sessions were something of a miracle. I highly recommend to those who suffer back pain. It doesn't hurt."

" Before coming here, I was unable to do most activities. I tried treatments such as therapy and went to Pain Management and received 5 epidural shots, which did not help at all. After he (my doctor) told me we would have to have surgery, we decided to try decompression. After 6 weeks of treatment I feel better and I can now walk 2 or 3 blocks without too much pain. I can also work around the yard and do housework, before I was just sitting all day in a chair...I would recommend this to anyone who needs it. "

"I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and arthritis in my lower back a year ago, April 2010. From a very able 52 year old woman to someone who couldn't lift, garden, vaccum, walk correctly and pain that made me feel aged, and less of a quality of life. Work was more taxing. I did physical therapy, exercise, cortisone short with surgery as the next option. For me surgery was out of the question, from my research and pain medicine to live on - NO!! I had seen a commercial of spinal aid - no surgery, no meds, I was skeptical but optimistic. John and his wife and Dana were great. John was very informative I must have asked him a 100 questions. The decompression was painless and after about 2 1/2 weeks I was feeling relief and was walking without a gimp by 3 weeks. I noticed myself being the more joyous me and my abilities coming back. I need to remain flexible and exercise. John and his crew have made me aware of the importance of my structure and put the vibe back in my life!"

" I was diagnosed with an L4/L5 herniation and went through 3 months of physical therapy and 3 epidural shots. While they provided relief from intense leg pain in my left leg during the day, I was experiencing intense pain at night and was unable to sleep. At that point, my neurosurgeon recommended me for open back surgery. Before I decided to have surgery, I researched non-surgical approaches to correcting the issues I was dealing with, this is how I met Dana and Dr. Milham. Right from the start, Dr. Milham and Dana were caring professionals who listened to what I was going through. My treatment plan called for 24 visits. At first I didn't feel much of a change, but around the 12th visit I really noticed a differenece. By the 24th visit I was feeling like myself again.I believe this method is so successful because Dr. Milham addressed the muscular issues through regular adjustments and the herniation through decompression therapy. If you are dealing with chronic back pain, take the time to consult with Dr. Milham- this approach works!!"

" I came to Dr. Milham because I had daily, sometimes non-stop back pain. Dr. Milham explained that my pain was due to compressed and herniated discs as well as being severely out of alignment, and a reverse curve in my neck.I started decompression therapy and felt almost total relief after my second session. The daily backache was gone, the 2-3 times a day headaches, from my neck, disappeared.
I have returned to a regular intense workout schedule and have no problems. I feel great. I would absolutely recommend this treatment."

" First, I would recommend this treatment to others. Prior to undergoing spinal decompression therapy, I had been through physical therapy and three drug prescriptions to relieve significant pain I was experiencing due to 3 bulging discs and sciatica which made walking, bending and standing very painful. I was willing to try thyis treatment because it is non-invasive and treats the cause of pain not just the symptoms.
Progress was incremental and ongoing, but noticeable. The treatment does not hurt, it feels more like a workout at the gym. However, the accompanying home exercises and stretches relieved the discomfort. I still have work to do, but I do feel as though I am on my way to full recovery."

After treatment, 5 months later......
"I have lived with a bulged disc for the past 10 years trying various treatments, ie. pain medications, physical therapy and spinal epidurals. Although the spinal epidurals did control the pain for awhile it would eventually return. I was referred to Dr. Milham by my GP. I finished the non-surgical spinal decompression program in October (2010) and have been able to return to being active enjoying cross-country skiiing, snow shoeing, and most importantly being able to keep up with my granddaughter.
I would definately recommend this programto to others and have told others about this procedure. "

" I was really depressed to have a back condition at such a young age. i tried PT, spinal epidurals, meds, etc., but found no relief- pain was actually worsening with time. I could barely sit thru work because my sciatic nerve down the leg was so bad. I even considered dropping out of school. After 3 weeks of treatment, I finally started getting some consistent relief. I even looked forwward to my sessions because I felt so good when i left. I would certainly recommend this treatment to others as it has greatly reduecd my pain and increased my quality of life back to normal."

" Before I started the spinal decompression therapy, daily activities that were once easy, were impossible. I needed help putting on socks and shoes, driving was unbearable and I couldn't be active with my 2 children. I had 2 herniated discs and 1 bulging disc. I was on a steady routine of anti-inflammatories and pain killers and I thought " at 34, is this how the rest of my life is going to be?" I tried physical therapy and chiropractors, which helped with acute pain, but I never had any long-term results. After 5 or 6 treatments with Dr. Milham, I felt significantly better! His treatment was painless, and very thorough. He didn't just use decompression to heal the discs, he utlized methods to strengthen my back muscles which will help provide a lifetime of pain-free living. " Dr. Milham is also a wonderful teacher. He showed me ways of moving (bending, sitting, standing) that will significantly decrease my chances of reinjuring my back. Proper body mechanics is vital to overall back and spinal health.
With the help of Dana and Dr. Milham, I have my life back. No pills, no more sitting on the sidelines, no more sleepless nights.....I am thankful for them both."

"When I first came to this office I was in alot of pain, mostly lower back and sciatic hip pain which continued down my right leg. This pain started about three months before I came to this office. I originally went to my doctor who sent me to a back specialist. Upon my visit with him, he indicated I had stenosis and three bulging discs; said the pain would come and go, but the pain just kept getting worse.
I saw an ad in the Troy Record about spinal decompression and thought I would try it. Best decision I have made. I am now pain free and able to do just about anything I want.
I would recommend this treatment to anyone who is experiencing back pain."

" I have been treated for bulging discs in lower back. My lower back ached most of the time. Difficult getting up and down out of a sitting position. Hard time doing house work. I had previously tried PT and epidurals. These helped somewhat but didn't last very long. I would say I started feeling better after 8 or 9 treatments. The treatments were gentle and I would recommend this treatment to others."

" I was in the moving business for over 30 years, working in all types of weather lifting and packing heavy furniture. This affected my body especially my back and knees. I have suffered back pain for many years and have tried all types of pain medication (prescriptions, over the counter) and injections into my back with little to no relief. I also tried acupuncture which did not work either..When I heard about Dr. Milham I figured he was my last chance and had nothing to lose. After a few treatments I began to feel much better. I have had great relief from pain since finishing my treatments and would recommend Dr. Milham to anyone.
Thank you Dr. Milham."

"When I started treatment I was very limited by my back and heel pain. It affected almost every aspect of my life. Now I find that I can move so much better without pain or stiffness. I am not 100% pain free but this is the closest I have been in a very long time. I have tried physical therapy, steroid injections and acupuncture and although each modality gave me relief, it was just a matter of time before pain returned to the previously experienced levels. I was a bit skeptical of this type of treatment and that kept me from trying it sooner than I did - now I wish I had tried this sooner. I foster rescue dogs which can be very demanding and now I do feel more comfortable caring for these dogs and now being afraid that my pain will limit my ability to continue fostering. I would definitely recommend spinal decompression to other people with back pain."

"I was treated for a herniated disc and two bulging discs in the late summer of 2010. I completed my treatments in September and was thrilled with the results. I wasn't 100% pain free, but I felt better than I had in years. I was able to participate in so many of the activities I had missed out on for so long. Today I am still going strong. I enjoy activities with much less pain and stiffness and look forward to my rechecks to keep my optimal alignment. Spinal decompression has been the best thing I've done to get my life back!"

“I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. There was lower back pain, not bad. My legs were the big problem. Standing would cause instant pain in both legs. Physical therapy and injections did not help. Dr. Milham said he thought decompression would help. After a couple of decompression treatments my back pain was gone. My legs are still a problem but Dr. Milham is working with me with stretching exercises which seem to be working. There was no pain with the decompression treatments at all. I am happy with overall improvement.

“Before coming to Spinal Aid Center I wore a back brace for 2 ½ years. I had to go for physical therapy three times a week. After four days of treatments at Spinal Aid Center I was no longer using the back brace. As I continue treatment the pain went away and I was standing upright compared to when I start I was partly bent over.”

“I came here hoping to address the pain in my back that made even the everyday activities we all take for granted, for me, getting in and out of the car, rolling over in bed, attending to personal hygiene issues and playing with my five year old granddaughter were chores I dreaded. Traditional chiropractic treatments only offered temporary relief. Today, 95% if the tasks which use to make life painful are done with little or no worry. Today, I simply get in and out of the can, instead of going through painful slow procedures. More than anything else, I am a functioning grandfather. Playing with my granddaughter – on the floor, at the playground – feels liberating. If you could give me her energy level, my life would be perfect. My sincerest thanks to Dr. Milham and his staff for their superb professionalism and reassuring warmth.”

This “If I was starting out as a business owner I would try to hire your help. Everyone was friendly and professional. Office was very clean and bright. I tried to get help about 8 years ago and they had me go through physical therapy to no hope. Due to the pain I had to change my job from sales to service which affected my income. Also I became grumpy due to the constant pain. When my wife heard the ad on the radio she took down your number and asked me to call and the free appointment. I was very skeptical at first but after the 1st treatment I saw immediate results. I am now going back to sales. I had constant pain in my lower back and if I went walking, pain would shoot down my leg and cause pain in my foot as well. Now I can shop with my wife and have little or no pain. I’m not grumpy anymore which makes my wife happy.”

“I was in pain from a bulging disc. My leg would go numb and I would get a jabbing pain in the outside of my leg. I went for physical therapy but it didn’t help. I couldn’t walk more the 10 minutes without the pain starting. I could go to the gym and walk on the treadmill for more than 10 minutes. So far, I can do 20 min to a half hour on the treadmill and I am able to do walking and other things a lot better. With a lot of work on my part I hope to be 100%. I would recommend Dr. Milham to anyone. I believe spinal decompression therapy has helped me.”

“My condition was very severe. The pain on a scale of 1-10, was to me over 10. I could not walk from room to room, sit or stand without pain. Before the spinal aid center I would receive injections in my back for the pain. Good results but temporary. Yes, I was skeptical regarding this treatment. Four weeks after the starting treatment my back felt good, not too much pain. My legs started getting life back from the severe pain zone. I can now get out of bed without a lot of pain. I can walk and do housework without wondering if I can do anything. These treatments are painless. I would recommend this treatment to others. Dr. Milham and Dana are the best ever; most understanding and sensitive to your needs.”

“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!”

“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."
Richard J
“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 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 when 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!”

“I was in severe pain everyday with numbness in my right leg. I couldn’t sleep, lie down, walk right, bend over, dress myself, ect. I was very skeptical at first, since nothing else worked and was facing surgery in a few weeks. Since decompression, about after the 2nd week or so I was not feeling the pain anymore and the numbness went away completely. I still have a little muscular discomfort but after a core strengthening program I have faith ill be totally pain free and regain my quality of life back. Treatments were a little discomforting at time but were well worth it! I would definitely recommend this to anybody in the same position – It Works!”

“I was experiencing pain in the lower back on a daily basis. It just hurt much of the time regardless of activity. Since treatment, pain has all but been eliminated. I have been to other chiropractors with out much success. Results were noticed after 10-12 treatments. The treatments were not uncomfortable other than lying still for 20 minutes. I would recommend this treatment to anyone.”
