“Four years ago I started having pain in my low back and was told I had arthritis. The pain was so bad I was not able to work without pain. I was not able to help around the house or work on my car. The doctor gave me Cortisone injections (epidurals) that didn’t help. Then doctors told me I had to have surgery. I had surgery on my lumbar spine with plate and screws. The pain continued and went back to the doctor and had x-rays and was told the screws were loose and they needed to be removed. I had another surgery to remove the plate and screws. After two months of therapy that was ordered for me, I did not feel any improvement. Now after doing six weeks of DRX treatment and Therapy I feel 85% better. Now I only have stiffness in the morning but then can go about my duties. Now I can wash my car and do maintenance on my car. My wife is happy because I can help her wash dishes and clean around the house.”
