I injured my lower back in June of 2008.  I was at work moving some retaining wall blocks when I twisted, felt a pop and fell to the ground in excruciating pain.  I was taken to an emergency center where I was wheeled into a room and examined by a physician.  He diagnosed me as having a lower back strain.  I had pain that started in my lower back and shot down my left leg into my calf muscle.  The transition between standing and sitting was incredibly painful.  The physician gave me a shot of anti-inflammatory, a prescription for pain pills and more anti-inflammatory meds.  After 3 or 4 weeks of basically laying in bed and not getting any better, I was sent to another care center where I received the same treatment and experienced the same results.  I was then sent to an orthopedic specialist that gave me more pain pills, anti-inflammatory meds, physical rehabilitation and sent me for an MRI.  The MRI showed that I had a herniated disc.  The orthopedic specialist suggested I have a series of injections first and if that didn’t work, would be faced with surgery in order to get rid of the pain.  But surgery was still not guaranteed to work.

A friend suggested Dr. Outten and the SpineMED treatment to me as a possible alternative.  It was noninvasive and took a natural approach to healing.  After having a consultation with Dr. Outten I decided to start the decompression sessions immediately.  Within the first 2 weeks my pain was reduced but not gone.  I was starting to think maybe I would be heading for surgery after all.  Dr. Outten added chiropractic adjustments at that time and by the end of the week 3 my pain decreased dramatically.  After the 4th week of treatment my pain was completely gone.  No more pain in my lower back, absolutely no more sciatica pain down my left leg and all with no surgical procedure or prescription medication.

I am so grateful to Dr. Outten and his caring staff for giving me my health back.  Dr. Outten’s staff was very professional and accommodating.  They always kept my well being as their priority.  Dr. Outten himself is a doctor truly dedicated to the recovery and wellness of his patients.  He helps correct the body to allow it to heal itself.  Thanks again.

I am Donna N. and have had low back pain since 2003.  At the time I never considered Chiropractic care and went directly to Orthopedic care.  My doctor put me on medication and therapy.  This went on for a year.  He then told me that I had to have surgery on my L5-S1.  I did, but never fully recovered.  In mid-2008 I started having major problems again.  This time I consulted Dr. Outten.  He suggested Spinal Decompression to HEAL my low back problems, which came from ailing discs.  So I started Spinal Decompression in January 2009.  I happy to report that I feel much better!  My range of motion is at 95% and getting better every day.  With continued Chiropractic Care and daily exercise I see myself enjoying a happy and active life.

Thank you Dr. Outten and your wonderful staff!

My name is Rebecca J. and I am a spinal decompression survivor.  Having been in a sedentary job for nearly 30 year, I have suffered from continual chronic neck and shoulder pain that has been exacerbated by many hours in front of a computer screen.  I have been a strong supporter of chiropractic care my entire life and had been making frequent visits for temporary relief of my chronic pain for as long as I can remember.  Last spring, the pain had become so severe that it affected both my arms and hands with intermittent pain, tingling and numbness.  I sought the help of an orthopedic doctor who determined that I suffered from C5-C6 degenerative disc disease with arthritis and began treatments of muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory drugs.  In addition to oral drug therapy, the next course of suggested treatment was steroid injections into my vertebral column and possible surgery.   At this point, I researched the benefits and risks of spinal decompression as I was not too keen to be injected with steroids or have a risky surgery performed.

That’s what brought me to Cary Spinal Decompression Center.  After an intense period of treatment (a little rough in the beginning I must admit), I gradually became pain free for the first time in my life.  Even more incredible to me was that the range of motion of my neck was fully restored and my shoulder muscles became more relaxed so that I could perform functions that had caused me a great deal of pain and stiffness in the past.  So, if you are a long time pain sufferer and a candidate for spinal decompression, I would highly recommend the treatment.  Dr. Outten and his staff are wonderful to work with and the benefits are beyond belief!
 

My name is Sam G and I have been a truck driver for over 22 years. My favorite thing to do when I exercise is playing basketball. In April 2009 I began to have pain in my right leg. The pain became so severe to the point where I was unable to put on my right sock and shoe. It was the most painful feeling that I had ever felt. After having it checked out, I was told that I had a pinched nerve. The sciatic pain in my leg stopped me from playing basketball and limited my duties at work. A friend of mine searched the web and told me about Dr. Outten. I came in for a visit to learn more about the SpineMED treatment. I was willing to do almost anything to get rid of the pain. Anything that is, except for having my back operated on. Dr. Outten and his staff- Dr. Joy, Ta-Wanda and Debbie along with the help of the SpineMED table were able to decrease and finally eliminate my pain. I am a witness that SpineMED Decompression works! I am happy to say that at age 45 I still play basketball three times a week and work 55 to 60 hours without pain. I want to say thank you to Dr. Outten, his staff and the SpineMED table.
