Hello, my name is Dr. Ronald Vernon, director of our local Non-Surgical Spine Care Center.  I’d like to give you my testimonial and why I specialize in Spinal Decompression Therapy.  Twenty-three years ago as a contractor I injured my back by lifting a roll of material like I had a thousand times before.  Something shifted in my back and I felt the most excruciating pain in my back and down my legs.  I went to hospital only to wait for six hours in the waiting room and walk away with a bag full of drugs.  The advice I received from the ER doctor was to take the medications and if that didn’t help, my only other option was surgery.  After a week of hell, a friend told me about his Chiropractor, so I went.  It helped so much I decided to change careers.  After completing my eight years of college I began practicing Chiropractic ten years ago. Over the last twenty-three years chiropractic had helped manage my symptoms and kept me mobile up until four years ago.  I started having more chronic disc related problems including neck, mid back and low back pain, numbness and tingling in both hands and feet, excruciating pain radiating down both arms and legs and extreme fatigue because of it.  I took an MRI of my spine and found degenerative disc disease, bulging and herniated discs and canal stenosis in my neck, mid back and low back.  I continued with chiropractic, I tried acupuncture and also had a manipulation under anesthesia performed, none of which provided lasting relief.  At that time I was contemplating retirement at the age of thirty-nine.  That’s when I looked into non-surgical spinal decompression therapy.  I spent nine months researching and visiting manufacturing facilities and finally switched over to a spinal decompression practice.    For me personally, the success and lasting relief has given me back my life. I have been ninety-five percent pain free since then and soley specialize in patients that have tried everything and suffer with the same problems that I have had.  Please take a moment and read some of the great testimonials from the following patients.

I injured my back in my late 20’s and had intermittent “episodes” for years. My HMO doctor’s said to wait until the condition got worse before doing surgery. Meanwhile, they put me on medications and some physical therapy. Eventually the pain and inability to move, bend and walk became worse where I could not stand, sit nor sleep without the constant nagging pain.  I heard about the Non- Surgical spinal decompression on the radio. After making and initial appointment and doing some research, I decided to go ahead with Dr. Ron Vernon. He explained everything very well and keeps me informed of all phases of the treatment. This is the first time in at least 20 years that I no longer have the bad pain and now I can walk, bend and have even joined a gym for exercise. I am so relieved to be myself again and the good part is, it is a lifetime available treatment.

My name is Norman Lott I am 56 years old. Thirty nine years ago I started as a staple jack painting tall buildings but now I mostly do residential. I have always worked with heavy loads and ladders, played hard with horses, went hunting, running and scuba diving. Several years ago I began having more and more low back problems and then severe sciatic pain down one leg. This became so bad I would not sit in a car unless it was absolutely necessary this made me miss so many family functions. I tried chiropractic, physical therapy and drugs for years but they helped very little. Then my Medical Doctor was suggesting spinal surgery as the next step. My wife became aware of the Non-Surgical Spine Care Center. After research on the internet and discussion with Dr. Vernon I decided to try this approach. Since following Doctor Vernon’s advice and treatment program my low back pain is gone. My low back is pain free and no longer suffer from sciatic pain.  Long car rides no longer a problem. I would encourage anyone with disc problems to look into and try this method of treatment.

I’m a sixty-four year old retiree. I have worked thirty-eight years in the produce and grocery industry.  I first came down with back pains approximately twenty years ago. I spent seven days in the hospital laying on my back in traction. Off and on over the years I experienced back pains only to get relief by taking prescription drugs and wearing a back brace. Three years ago I came down with severe back pain and the most excruciating pain down my legs.  I was unable to sleep, sit or stand any length of time. Two epidurals, one micro-discectomy surgery, another epidural, physical therapy and numerous visits to the chiropractor along with prescription drugs never gave me the long term relief that I was told I would have. My orthopedic surgeon told me that the only course to take at this time was to have another surgery with implanting plates and screws in my lower back. I came across a brochure entitled “NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION” and decided to give this a go before I was going under the knife for the second time in less than two years. Over the last three months being on this program, my back has never felt so good. I am not experiencing any pain down my legs. I am now able to play golf as much as I want and enjoy my golden retirement years. Thank you, Dr. Vernon, if it wasn’t for you I don’t know where I would be today.

I’m the director of a local hair salon and have to stand the majority of the time.  I have been treated periodically by various chiropractors since elementary school. My last bout with lower back pain was the worst and the longest period I have ever had of being in severe pain and extremely limited in my day to day functions.   I was unable stand without severe pain.  This was the first time I was actually not sure I was going to get better. However after 20 sessions of spinal decompression at Non-Surgical Spine Care Center I am back to virtually no limitations. I can stand all day with minimal soreness or stiffness.  I am not 100% pain free however what in life is.  I am very satisfied with my results.  Life is good.

I was involved in a work injury nearly ten years ago and had been in excruciating pain ever since.  I’ve taken all kinds of medications to help ease the pain as much as 20-30 Vicodin a day on average, and still felt miserable.  I was unable to stand up straight and was worse off from the side effects of the medications.  I tried physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, cortisone injections, you name it I tried it, and at the most they provided temporary relief.  After treatment on the DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression table and care provided by Dr. Vernon and staff, I was able to function regularly and stopped taking all the meds.  I am very happy and grateful I found Dr. Vernon, I wish I would have found him ten years ago, it would have prevented years of misery.

My name is Donna Minardi. I am 65 yrs. old and a Real Estate Broker. I have suffered with lower back pain for thirty years. In December of 2006 my lower back flared up again. I started treatment with my Chiropractor then I started epidurals, muscle relaxants, pain killers and physical therapy.  By April 2007, I was walking with a cane and told I would possibly need surgery. A friend dropped by my office and told me about a new treatment that she was involved with. She had the same problems with her back that I had. She proceeded to educate me on Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression and all of its benefits.  I had reached my wits end and did not want surgery so I made an appointment with Dr. Ronald Vernon.  After the second treatment I no longer needed a cane. It took another twelve treatments to be totally off pain medication and pain free. Non- Surgical Spinal Decompression gave me back my life. When I talk to people about my treatments what I hear most is, “How did you find the time to have treatments two to three times a week with your busy schedule?”  When you are in as much pain as I was you make the time. I will never be able to thank Dr. Vernon enough. He was always available if I needed him. As I said, I have my life back.

Nine years ago I started to suffer from many health problems ranging from diabetes to heart troubles to back pains.  When I was forty-four years old I found myself feeling more like I was 64 or 74.  Now at the age of 53, the last nine years I went from using a walking stick to a wheel chair to get around.  I was taking pain meds three times a day just to get to another day.  This year while attending a local fair my wife wheeled me over to a booth that was handing out information on Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy, for back pain relief.  Now after 12 treatments my life has vastly improved.  I no longer use a wheel chair to get around and rarely use a cane.  I no longer use strong narcotics for pain relief.  My quality of life is 100% better thanks to Dr. Vernon and Spinal Decompression therapy provided his office.
