I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis. I had pain radiating down my right thigh and knee area. I had been suffering with this pain off and on for about a year, but in November 2010 my pain was excruciating. I had pain all the time. It was so severe that I could not sit without pain, stand, stand up straight, or walk for more than 100 steps without shooting pain. Nothing helped relieve the pain, not even aspirin. I was very irritable to everyone around me. My family was very concerned.
I tried physical therapy with very minor improvements. Ibuprofen prescribed by my Doctor, helped a little. (I tried not to take the Ibuprofen, due to the side effects to my stomach and liver). I knew I did not want surgery, but I was feeling frustrated and depressed. I wasn?t sure just what to do. I was beginning to give up hope of ever going places or doing things I love to do. I was taking my dog for some laser therapy for his osteoarthritis and I figured if it worked for him, why not me. I saw the ad for the center and decided to give it a try. I?m glad I did and I thank my dog for the idea.
Since my VAX-D and Laser treatment, I no longer have the pain that I used to. I am taking long walks with my dog. I am enjoying going to the zoo with my grandson, baseball games (Giants-of course), and many other events. We are planning a trip to San Diego to visit family and friends. I can sit and can walk without pain. Most of all I can smile and enjoy my life again.
Dr. Jeff is great! He always checks on me and makes sure that everything is going well with me. He is funny and energetic, which gives me a chuckle and relaxes me if I?m nervous. He knows his work and explains things thoroughly so you can understand it. All the staff at Advanced Health Center really care and will do all they can to help you. This treatment is cheaper than surgery and worth it, since I can be pain free or even 99% pain free for the rest of my life. The cost is nothing! There is one side effect though ? a big Smile!
