I had trouble standing, sitting and walking. I had tried facet blocks which only helped for a month or so, then the pain was back.        

I saw an ad in the Valley Press magazine section and then on TV. I made an appointment and the Pain is History.

I can actually function with out pain. This is a biggie for me.

Severe Back Pain Lancaster

Barbara Colony

I started having severe back pain June of 2006. My doctor prescribed Vicodin after my left hip to my toes developed numbness and tingling. I could not walk. I was admitted to AV Hospital, received CAT Scans, EKG’s and a Facet Block. I was not satisfied with the results and did not want surgery. The pain was so bad and it was constant.  I could not find a comfortable position that eased the pain.  I had difficulty walking and I had to use a walker.
The doctors said I had degenerative discs and pinched nerves at L4, L5.  All sorts of tests were done and I was given choices of facet blocks or surgery.  Facet blocks gave temporary relief and I did not want surgery. 
I have had chiropractic care in the past and had good results.  I made an appointment with Dr. Frye.  I had met some of the staff in 2004 when my husband came to see Dr. Thornton. 
The pain was almost gone after the very first adjustment and each adjustment then brought more  flexibility.  I can walk and even ran the other day!  The PT and Dr. Mesler also helped with this progress.  I am grateful for the excellent care I received at AVSC.  The entire staff is friendly and caring.  I did not need to take Vicodin after starting chiropractic treatments.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease/Radiculopathy Palmdale

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.  Then Dr. Farrukh sent me to AV Spinal Care for physical therapy.  After two months of therapy that was ordered for me, I did not feel any improvement.  I came in and saw Dr. Mesler at AV Spinal Care.  He took x-rays and put me on the DRX machine.  Now after doing six weeks of DRX treatment and Physical 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.

Motorcycle accident causes Low back Pain in Tehachapi

 

There was not a morning without back pain. I had Degenerative Disc Disease at L5-S1 with leg pain and numbness due to nerve involvement. I was unable to walk any kind of distance.  The mall, market or a walk in the park wasn't in my daily plan.  I tried physical therapy and pain medication.. I told my doctor that I had had it and something had to be done and surgery was not a option. 

 

After treating with the DRX, I now can get up in the morning without thinking about how to get out of bed. I went to Morro Bay and walked on the beach for hours.

 

AV Spinal Care is the GREATEST, everyone treats you like family. I will miss you!

Degenartive Disc Disease in Palmdale

I was suffering from a herniated disc and degenerative disc disease. It was so bad that I had to stop driving myself. I could not walk more that a few feet at a time. I wound up in the hospital for 4 days on morphine.
I tried many different pain medications but nothing helped. I even tried traditional physical therapy with no measurable results.
A friend of mine told me about a non surgical treatment for my back problems. It was called the DRX 9000 at AV Spinal Care. I was a bit skeptical but I didn't want any back surgery.
The DRX 9000 treatment is a miracle! I now walk over 2 brisk miles per day.I am driving and sleeping without any further problems!

Sciatica Lancaster

Glenn Hetland

I was suffering from intense sciatic pain down my legs but mostly my left hip.  I couldn’t stand for more than an hour, I had to be very careful.  I tried Tylenol but it didn’t help.  I kept bugging Dr. Garrison about my sciatic bothering me and he suggested Dr. Frye.  I did chiro and got some relief then, Dr. Mesler suggested the DRX.  Now thanks to the DRX and the massage therapists concentrating on the sciatic, I can now walk more freely and my symptoms have almost completely disappeared.

Pain caused by herniated disc since 1990

I was suffering with constant back pain all the time and nothing would give me relief. It was so bad that it was traveling down my left leg. I was even afraid to walk without my back brace. I stopped cooking and doing the things I enjoyed because I was in pain all the time. Over the years I have been to over 100 doctors with no results.
I saw a commercial on TV for the DRX treatment. I called AV Spinal care that day and made an appointment.
After completing my treatments I am now pain free. I am cooking and doing the things I enjoy. I will tell everyone about the DRX treatments and the staff at AV Spinal Care!

Disc Protrusion casues Sciatica

Anne Jameson

I had severe low back pain and discovered I had a 6 mm protrusion.  I was literally put flat on my back.  I could not work or go motorcycle riding with my husband.  I saw the first Dr. who just told me to take pain pills and it would go away.  Then I literally could not get out of bed and that is when they did the MRI and found the protrusion.  I had heard of Dr. Frye and also I had worked with Sue Bell in the past and knew I could trust that I would get good treatment.  I can walk and do things with out pain now.  I feel happy and grateful to everyone of you.  I can not wait for my first motorcycle ride with my husband!
