I had a compressed L5 disk and sciatica running down my right leg. This problem forced me to quit the electricians union and go into the IT field where I was having less physical activity.

I was also forced to quit martial arts, playing football and was unable to play guitar for more than a few hours. This was a real drag because I am in a band.

I was always in pain. I tried pain pills and acupuncture; I was told I needed surgery.
Once I learned about the DRX, I felt I had another option.

The first two treatments were painful, but I stuck with it. After those first few treatments, I haven’t looked back. The doctors and staff were polite and easy to work with. And best of all… My back feels great now!!!

When I first came to Executive Express Chiropractic, I was in continuous back pain. I felt terrible all the time. The pain made every aspect of my life one hundred times more difficult; it was like a barrier between a normal life and me. I couldn’t play sports, do activities with my kids, or even carry groceries.

I had tried some physical therapy, which helped to decrease the symptoms, occasionally, but I didn’t feel like it was getting to the root cause of the problem. My medical doctor told me I was eventually going to need surgery, so I started looking for other options.

Through research on the Internet, I was able to learn about the DRX and Dr. Davis’ office.

At Front Street, they use a whole-body approach that I really like. They treated the root of my problem, but they also treated all the other parts of my body like working on my diet and my posture. They gave me the tools and knowledge I need to keep myself healthy now that I am out of pain.

And I am out of pain. I still have occasional episodes of mild pain, but they are transient and are much less intense than before the treatment. I am now working with a physical trainer to start re-gaining the strength I had lost. I’m getting stronger, I have much better posture and I can feel that there is less pressure in my back. I have more freedom of movement and I can even play basketball with my son.

When I came to Executive Express Chiropractic, I was worried. I had suffered from sharp, stabbing pain in my low back on and off for about five years. I tried physical therapy, medication and even chiropractic care, but nothing seemed to solve my problem.

I wasn’t able to work, go out with friends or play softball because I was in so much pain. I felt like I needed to rest all the time and the only thing that made me feel better was ice.

I was scared I would end up disabled if it continued. I was hoping Front Street could provide me an answer to what was wrong with my back and how to fix it. The doctors here were great! They examined me and recommended I get an MRI.

It turned out, I had a disc herniation. The good news: I was a candidate for the DRX.

The DRX treatment was different from what I had tried in the past. The treatment program was not stressful, so I did not worry about the therapy. It was not painful; I did not have to dread coming in for treatment. Everyday, I saw a little bit of progress. That helped me stay positive and keep up with the care.

I learned a lot about my condition while I was going through treatment. I even got to attend one of Front Street’s free lunch-time seminars on low back health. The doctor explained how my spine had gotten injured in the first place and gave valuable tips and advice on how to keep it healthy, now that I’m feeling better. And I am feeling better. I have no real pain anymore and I am back to most of my everyday activities. I feel like I have my life back.

The best part about my whole experience, though, was the staff. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Everyone is friendly and eager to help you feel better as fast as possible. I am very grateful to everyone at Executive Express Chiropractic.

I don’t know how else to say it: I put my back out. One morning, at the end of January I woke up and my back was out of shape. I didn’t know what it was from. I have always had some sort of back pain that comes and goes, however, this was different. It was all Icould do to just walk. I couldn’t move. It was horrible. I thought to myself, great I’ll just stand here all day and not do anything. I couldn’t move. Any length of walking bothered me, and I literally wasn’t able to do anything on my own. I couldn’t dress; I couldn’t put on my shoes. My husband helped me do everything. I was so sick of just sitting in a chair or lying in bed. That was all I did.

I went to my doctor who sent me to a spine doctor who recommended physical therapy. He said therapy and exercise should fix it. He prescribed therapy once a week for one month. Right after those four weeks, my therapy was terminated and I was not better. They said they couldn’t do anything further. I knew I needed more because I was still walking with a cane and was bent over. I was doing my exercises at home, but it just didn’t do anything.

My husband loves to play golf. One of his golf friends had just had his back pain helped by a new treatment, the DRX, and was now able to return to golf. Her back was much better, and she told my husband that if I was able to get better, he could spend less time assisting me, and they could enjoy more golf!

I tried it, and I’m happy I did. I am so happy with Dr Davis’ office. From day one, I was surprised at the friendliness of the staff. They knew my name right from the beginning. Not just the front desk staff, but everybody; the tech’s, the support staff and of course the doctor. At the beginning I was sore after each treatment. It was hard going. With the support of Dr Davis and the staff, I stuck through it and began noticing a significant improvement in my back. I began to get my mobility back. I used to rely on a cane to walk up and down the stairs, but as the treatment progressed, I found that I could make it without. I now do not use my cane at all.

After finishing the decompression treatments, I started using Dr Davis’ Spineforce to activate the CORE muscles and work on my balance, and that was when I really noticed a huge change. I can do everything now that I couldn’t do before. I’m cooking now, I’m walking up and down stairs with out my cane, I have more independence and my husband has more golf!

Pain and the inability to walk had totally taken over my life. I suffered from severe pain that shot all the way down my right leg and back pain that kept me awake at night. Both of these things prevented me from walking further than ten feet. The constant pain that radiated down my leg contributed to the significant limp that I also had.

My life basically revolved around my constantly trying to manage the pain. I couldn’t think about anything else. I did not have any energy for anything else was never able to get into a deep sleep at night because whenever I had to change position, I had to wake up and reposition myself very deliberately and consciously to avoid the stabbing pain. Without proper sleep, I never felt rested or energized. In addition to the sleep loss, I couldn’t walk. I need to walk a lot for my business and not being able to do that, I felt like my business was suffering.

After having a steroid injection nerve root block, I actually had a good four weeks. Then, it wore off and the pain was back. I seriously thought I was heading for surgery. I did not want to do surgery. Obviously, pain pills have serious side effects and I did not want to be on them for any longer than I could stand. It was then that I heard about the DRX and decided I would look into it.

Dr Davis’ office was so aesthetically pleasing. The staff are absolutely number one! Tops! They made it really nice to be here. Everyone is really congenial and knowledgeable. It was so easy to do. The process right from being diagnosed, to signing up, to receiving treatment was all so easy.

Now, I feel great. The pain in my right leg is gone. It is 100% better. My energy is back. Pain really saps your energy, and it is amazing to feel energized again. I can walk again. I can sleep again and I just mentally and emotionally feel good.

This was not the first time I had suffered from a lower back injury, but it was the first time that I was able to find treatment that worked quickly and effectively.

I had a herniated disc 15 years ago and I tried medications, cortisone injections, and physical therapy. I did eventually get better, but it took a long time. It was very gradual. This time when I experienced another low back injury, I was in so much pain that I couldn’t stand the thought of waiting so long again to have relief. I found myself completely immobile. I couldn’t walk 20 feet without a lot of pain. The pain went all the way down my right leg to my foot. The bottom of my right foot was numb, and my right quad was also numb. I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even hold a conversation with anybody. I was so distracted about how I could move myself to find some sort of relief. I was pretty useless at work. At one point I actually needed to start working from home because I couldn’t drive or be in a car for
so long.

In addition to not being able to sit, I could stand or walk either. It was really bad. So, I started getting treatment in the form of acupuncture, massage, chiropractic adjustments, and drugs. These things were not working. My chiropractor referred me back to my MD. My MD really just postponed any sort of treatment and didn’t have any answers for me. I couldn’t even get an MRI from him. After hearing about Dr. Davis from my co-worker, I decided to abandon the MD route – that just wasn’t going anywhere- and go and see Dr Davis.

I was impressed right from the first moment I walked through the door. Dr. Davis’ confidence that he could help me was instantly re-assuring. It was a huge relief to get that vote of confidence. I got the MRI I wanted within hours, and I got the treatment started within days of my first visit. This is clearly a top shelf practice. It is comfortable; the staff are friendly and are clearly there for the patient’s optimal care.

Within two pulls I felt a difference. I noticed a significant drop in pain. Then I reached a plateau, where I stayed for a while. After that, I experienced another drop in pain. I was then down to taking only Motrin. During the last week of treatment, I really felt the pain go down. I now feel like it is pretty much gone. I still need to make some lifestyle changes, like not sitting for extended periods of time, but with the help of Dr. Davis and his staff, I know that I can get the guidance I need to avoid a reoccurrence of the pain – unlike the last time! I am so relieved that I was able to find the DRX, receive fast and efficient treatment, and get the results that I did.

After running from Boston to San Francisco, having extraordinary health, and generally being accustomed to an obedient, functioning body, I have always lived life to its fullest. However, a couple of years ago, when hiking on Glacier Trail in Yosemite, I fell four times, and bam! Something in my back pulled. From that day on, the lower back pain has been debilitating. My usual triweekly 5-mile walk suffered as a result. It hurt to walk. Eventually, I was forced to stop walking. In addition to the back pain, I developed sciatica. My leg would either be in pain, along with back, or go numb.

I tried using over the counter pain medication and applying a topical ointment. They both provided relief for a couple of hours, but then the pain would start up again. Nothing really worked until I found Dr. Davis and the DRX.

The DRX started to work for me after the 8th treatment. For the first week, I felt a relieving stretch, but nothing too significant. Then, halfway through the second week, I couldn’t believe it, but my pain was gone! The pain is completely gone, and it feels great! I have not experienced the old sciatica or leg numbness at all since that pivotal moment.

I have to admit that the friendly and helpful staff and Dr. Davis’ knowledgeable and caring approach contributed to my deciding to go through with the treatment just as much as the science and testimonials that back it up! I followed Dr. Davis’ instructions explicitly and I am so happy with the results. I can swim again. I can walk again. I realize that I will not be running my marathons anymore, but for 83 years old, that’s okay! To have my swimming and mobility back is such a relief. I am ready to go back to my weights and as I mentioned already, having the back pain completely gone feels great!

Before my DRX treatment, severe low back pain made it impossible for me to sit, stand, walk, dance, drive, and even lay in bed. My lower back pain had completely disabled me. After undergoing the recommended surgery, I experienced severe post surgery pains. I was not satisfied with the solution the surgeon offered: Narcotics. I could not stand the thought of only masking the symptoms and of being on pain medication the rest of my life.

I am a very active person, and being in constant pain was heart breaking. I could not play with my daughter, I was unable to fully participate in the opening of my business, and dance, a very significant part of my life, was completely taken from me. I tried using exercise to strengthen my back and core muscles, but I only injured myself more. Every time I went to yoga and pilates, the instructor told me I should not practice and I should wait until I was out of pain. Massage provided a temporary relief of symptoms, but became too expensive to maintain.

After my first treatment on the DRX, I felt a difference. Immediately, the pain changed. It went from a very sharp, excruciating pain to a mild post exercise muscle pain. Now my daily pain is gone and my disposition is so much better. I now rarely feel pain at night and I can sleep again. I can bend over, and most importantly, I can exercise again. It’s amazing. I have my life back!

I cannot thank Eben Davis and his staff enough for being so caring, professional, and most of all, treating me as the unique individual I am. The staff is completely proficient at what they do and Dr. Davis’s outstanding reputation in the field was reinforced.

I highly recommend other people to Front Street for treatment on the DRX before they consider surgery, or just as I did, after undergoing surgery. I’ve discussed this with all my friends who have back pain (I made a lot of them when I was living with pain!) and I continuously recommend the DRX. It has brought exercise, my daughter, and my work back into my life and I feel great!

I had been living with a combination of chronic lower back pain and sciatica down my right side. I dreaded walking, standing for long periods of time, and could not sit without constant pain. My sleep was disturbed as well. Physical therapy, traditional chiropractic treatment, injections, acupuncture, and various pain medications proved futile.

After only two treatments with the DRX my pain began to subside. The science behind the machine holds up.

One of my motivations to begin treatment was a pre-scheduled 10-day trip to Italy, which required sitting on the long plane ride, and then standing and walking almost constantly – uphill. Would the treatments hold, or would I relapse? Thankfully, the DRX had produced results that allowed me to thoroughly enjoy my trip. I felt more energy and had greater mobility then I had had in over 10 years!

Since returning from vacation, I have completed the remaining round of visits, with even more improvement. Special exercises to strengthen my support muscles are included in the treatment plan, as well as a maintenance program to keep the pain from returning.

I can’t say enough good things about the DRX, the Front Street staff and their level of care and professionalism. I would eagerly refer anyone with severe or chronic lower back pain to Executive Express Chiropractic.

Sincerely,

Carol Taylor

I had been suffering from lower back pain and sciatica for five years before I tried the DRX. Every morning I was reminded of my condition. Every morning I experienced severe pain in my lower back and shooting pain down my legs. The pain deeply affected the way I started my day and I was not able to be as active I would have liked. After five years of the pain and trying massage, acupuncture and yoga, no real relief was achieved. I felt good immediately after, but they did not heal the source of my back pain.

After the first few decompression sessions on the DRX, I felt a HUGE difference. The pain that used to shoot down my legs was relieved. Now, after the entire treatment, the pain that traveled down my legs and made it unbearable to get out of bed is significantly gone! I feel more alive!

I am writing this testimonial because I want to thank Dr. Davis and the staff at Executive Express Chiropractic for being so caring and concerned about my improvement. Dr. Davis really knows what he is talking about, and I appreciate that.

The change the DRX has made in my life is unbelievable! I had suffered from low back pain and fibromyalgia for a long time. Then to top it off I injured my low back, which gave me sciatica. It was terrible.

I was in constant pain, causing me to be exhausted and depressed every day. I felt agitated all the time. I had no attention span, and I couldn’t stand for long. Worse of all, I couldn’t even go for walks, which I have always enjoyed all my life. Nothing seemed to help.

Within 3 days of starting treatment on the DRX, I felt an amazing difference. I just didn’t realize how much pain I was living with until I started the treatments and began to feel better. Now that I’m nearing the end of my treatment regimen, the pain is gone, I have more energy, and I’m feeling normal. It’s amazing to be able to go for walks again!

The thing I like most about Front Street is the staff. They are always honest with me, letting me know exactly what’s going on. I’ve had a wonderful experience with the doctors. They know how to really help people get better, not just patch the problem. All the staff have been a joy to work with.

I would refer other people to Front Street to undergo treatment on the DRX before they consider surgery, or even after. I’ve told all my friends who have low back pain that I believe in the DRX. It has helped me get my life back and it will help others!

Dr. Davis,

I want to thank you so much for helping me to regain health and to maintain my health. You and your team have provided me the support necessary to overcome pain and regain strength in my lower back. Initially, I injured my back playing football in high school, and I aggravated the injury when working at UPS. I have lived for over a decade with intermittent, chronic lower back pain.

Your work with me using the DRX and relaxation regimen has provided me relief from this condition, and I have improved considerably.

As directed by you, I have been strengthening my core spinal muscles using your Spineforce machine which specifically targets the muscles. I appreciate Aikido, and this machine truly targets a person's center or core muscles as I have experienced. This work has helped me to stay pain free.

Most importantly, as a part of your practice, you have allowed me the opportunity to come to your practice when needed and utilize your Aqua-Med massage beds and the Spineforce machine. This open door has helped me to be consistent with maintaining my health whether reducing my stress, which is considerable at times, or strengthening my body as a whole.

Thank you,

Charles N. Vezinaw

For many years I have had low back pain when walking. I used to have pain just walking around my house, on the carpet! Walking outside really hurt and walking down the sidewalk for more than a block was really not possible. Not only did I have pain when walking, but also I had pain when I was sitting. Getting to and from work was difficult for me and then being at work was difficult for me. I also suffered from severe numbness in my leg. When waiting in line or standing in the same position for a while, my leg would fall asleep and I would not know it until I tried to walk and there was no leg there! I have had some serious falls due to the numbness caused by my low back pain.

I tried cortisone injections and they didn’t do anything. I can’t, and don’t want, to take pain pills. They didn’t do anything but vaguely dull the pain. Physical therapy didn’t help and I didn’t want to consider surgery. Finally I found a treatment that actually worked. The DRX has provided relief in many ways.

Most importantly, I have no pain when I walk around at home! The pain is gone. I can now walk further on the hard concrete than I ever could and my leg has not fallen asleep since my DRX treatment. I feel secure knowing that with full sensation in my leg I wont take another nasty fall. I used to walk like a zombie, now have much more mobility.

The staff at Dr. Davis’s office is prompt, efficient, professional, and very pleasant. I enjoyed receiving my treatment on time!

The most important thing that resulted from my DRX treatment is that I do not concentrate on my limitations anymore. I used to always think about my pain. Now I don’t think about it, I can think about other things. I have more mobility to do other things. Being able to lift up my legs and get into a cab without pain means I can enjoy my life more.
