RE: Low Back Pain--Gone Forever
Are you desperate to fix your low back problem?
Do you feel like you are going to be left with only one option: dangerous back surgery?
Many of my patients feel the same way when they come to me with stinging, constricting back pain due to herniated discs, ruptured discs and bulging discs. The most common things they suffer from are:
Shooting pains down the legs
They might be complaining and in agony when they come in our clinic, but when they leave after 8-12 treatments of VAX-D they are singing a different tune!
Here’s what some of our patients are saying:
-- Damian Rolls, Tampa Bay Devil Rays: Third Baseman, 2000-2004 |
“I had been living in constant pain for 3 years. My hamstrings and hip muscles felt like they were in my back. Walking around was not an option and even just lying in bed was a task. I am half way through my VAX-D treatments, and
“My pain level was at an 8 (out of 10); now my pain level is at ZERO, thanks to VAX-D.” --K.D. |
“I had 3 bulging discs and a pinched nerve in my back. The pinched nerve caused pain in my right leg that felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife and twisting it. The pain was a 10 on a scale of 0-10, and worse than any labor pain I have ever had. I also had a large knot in my leg at the site of the pain. I AM FIXED! Since my 5th treatment I have been PAIN FREE! When driving in to Family Life Health Center for my 9th treatment I noticed the knot on my leg was greatly decreased. At the conclusion of my treatment I have remained PAIN FREE and the knot is GONE. Thank you so very much. I am a Registered Nurse, and I know that back surgery DOESN’T work but VAX-D DOES!!!” --M.V., R.N. |
“Before starting VAX-D I was terrified that the last resort to being pain free was surgery, after dealing with multitudes of clients and seeing that the result of surgery was further debilitation, I realized that was not an option. The orthopedic surgeon pretty much threw me out of his office after I discussed with him wanting to attempt alternative treatments! VAX-D treatment initiated. Symptoms prior to VAX-D: walking was painful and sleep was impossible—pain was so excruciating that I could not lie on my back or either side. As the weeks progressed, I felt more positive and found pain subsiding daily. I can now travel without pain—I have actually been able to get 8 hours of sleep per night as compared to 3 or 4. And for the first time I feel motivated to research alternative treatments to maintain wellness. Today is my last day of VAX-D but even at the age of 50, this is only the beginning towards wellness. The facility staff, and especially Mark, are assets to wellness. Life is short and precious. Thank you.” --J.J. |

“Do you feel like you are walking around with
a knife in your back?”
That’s how a patient told me he felt like when he walked in the clinic for the first time. But after only 6 treatments of VAX-D, he was completely pain free.
“An hour of pain is as long as a day of pleasure.” -- English Proverb |
Okay, maybe your pain isn’t as bad as a knife in your back. Maybe your low back is frozen and rigid, like a solid slab of ice. Maybe you have sharp, shooting pains down your legs. Maybe you can barely roll out of bed in the morning. Or maybe you have aches and pains when you sit down or try lifting things.
It’s not fun to be in such unbearable pain, is it?
The good news is that all of the gruesome pains listed above are simply symptoms of low back problems that can be treated safely, scientifically and without surgery.
“What’s up, doc?”
Besides patients asking me when they can start their first treatment, one of the most common questions I’m asked is: “WHY does my low back hurt so damn much?”
You may be wondering the same thing. In order to answer your question, I need to show you a little bit of how your back works.
In your back, you have 33 bones that make up your spine. Each of these is called a “vertebra”. These are hard bones that help to protect all the important nerves that go from your brain, down your spine and spread all over your body—these are the nerves you use to feel everything in your environment.
There’s a soft tissue in between each of these bones that gives padding for the nerves and also allows you to move—make twisting motions, bend over and do all sorts of other awkward movements if you’re a fan of golf, Yoga or gymnastics. The soft, padded tissue between each back bone is called a “disc”.
The disc between each back bone can be likened to a jelly-filled doughnut. If you bend over and put pressure on one side of your back, the “jelly” in the disc moves to the other side of the disc and continues to provide padding.
When you are standing up straight, the pressure on each disc in your spine is equally placed on every part of the disc. But if you sit down extensively, bend over to pick something up or make unnatural jerking and twisting motions, the pressure on each disc in your spine can get much higher and uneven.
Just like a jelly doughnut, if you put too much pressure on one part of it, the outside layer of the disc can tear and the “jelly-like” insides can squirt out. This is what your doctor is talking about when he tells you that you have a “herniated disc”, “bulging disc”, “ruptured disc” or “slipped disc”. These are all when the inside of the disc has “popped out”.
The jelly-like padding between your back bones is no longer where it should be and now your body weight is pushing two back bones together and squeezing directly on the nerve in between them. No wonder it hurts so much!!!
Many of the nerves in your low back go down your legs, which is why low back problems lead to pains in the legs.
How VAX-D Works
VAX-D works by using a patented technique called “spinal decompression”. This is a painless technique where precision instruments are used to pinpoint exact areas of the spine to decompress. A vacuum (suction) is created on the disc, which allows blood to flow in and deliver nutrients that heal the disc.
Here is a Before and After MRI of a patient who received VAX-D treatment:
Before treatment, the patient was told by his Medical Doctor that back surgery was his only option (a painful and risky ultimatum). After VAX-D, the MRI demonstrated significant improvement and the patient was COMPLETELY pain-free!
There's no doubt about it: VAX-D works. But best of all this, VAX-D involves:
NO Surgery
NO Drugs
NO Injections
NO Vitamins or Supplements
NO Stretches
NO Exercise
NO Chiropractic Manipulation
The treatment is completely safe and tested! And it’s the only non-surgical way to treat low back pain resulting from disc problems.
Why Get the VAX-D Treatment?
If you are suffering from tormenting lower back pain due to a herniated disc, ruptured disc, bulging disc or sciatica, VAX-D has been scientifically proven in numerous studies published in dozens of medical journals to have a 70% or higher success rate (scroll down to see these studies).
After getting VAX-D treatments, my patients have been able to:
What else is your back pain stopping you from doing? Why let PAIN stop you from living life ONE MORE DAY?
You owe it to yourself to do something about your back pain today.
If you suffer from low back pain, call Family Life Health Center and start VAX-D.

What is the scientific research behind VAX-D?
Here’s some great news for you: Not only are hundreds of patients in the Tampa Bay Area having success with VAX-D, but so are thousands more who have been involved in research studies over the years.
VAX-D is scientifically proven to work in study after study:
Surgery is NOT Your Only Option
If you are considering getting back surgery, let’s look at what is really in store for you:
Remember when we were discussing the jelly-like substance that popped out of your disc—the “herniated disc”? Back surgery will consist of your surgeon cutting your back open down to your spine and slicing off that jelly-like substance that is sticking out of your disc.
"They wanted to slice off a piece of my spine and throw it in the garbage?!"
That jelly-like substance belongs INSIDE the disc—where it was in the first place. When the surgeon cuts it out and throws it away, the body is now missing an important part. Since the REASON for the problem was never fixed, it’s likely that the back pain will come back in the future--and it does come back for a lot of surgery victims!
No only are you not fixing the real problem but during surgery you also face many different risks that your surgeon may not have discussed with you.
The Risk of Surgery:
Harmful reaction to anesthetics (.001% die from this alone)
"After all this pain and agony, is it still worth it? Well . . ."
In a June 2004 issue of Spine, an international journal for the study of the spine, it was found that 40% of patients who underwent back surgery had NO decrease in their pain even though their doctor/surgeon had assured them of the results.
So, even after doing what your doctor recommends, spending tens of thousands and enduring the pain and dangers of surgery, you could still be in as much pain as before you started! That's because slicing out a piece of your disc doesn't FIX THE PROBLEM.
As you saw in the studies above, VAX-D performs better than that! If you thought surgery was the only way to go, it’s about time you looked at other options.
What is Your Low Back Pain Costing You?
Your low back pain could be taking its toll on you in two ways—emotionally and financially.
Back pain might make you irritable, annoyed and possibly depressed, especially if it’s stopping you from:
But what could really be affecting you is if it is stopping you from MAKING A LIVING.
Low back pain is one of the most sinister problems in America's economy. It’s the most common body-related problem attributed for missing work--resulting in over $30 billion in productivity loss per year! 80% of Americans will have acute low back pain that keeps them from going to work at some point in their work-life.
Are you unable to work due to your low back pain? Is this loss of income making life even more miserable?
Imagine being able to go to work again and being able provide for you and your family once more.
Better yet, imagine being able to go to the gym again, to go running, to go swimming and to be able to play basketball, football or soccer with your kids.
Imagine being able to enjoy a romantic evening with your partner again.
This is what others are attaining every day with VAX-D. Isn’t it your turn?
Don’t Fall For These Low Back Pain Myths!
|
|
Myth #1: “Back surgery is the only solution.”
As discussed above, after risking your life to all the dangers of risky operations, there’s still a 40% chance that your symptoms of pain will remain!
Myth #2: “All I have to do is keep stretching.”
Yes, stretching is healthy, but if you have back pain due to disc problems, stretching could be putting MORE stress on your discs! So, yes, you may be stretching your back and leg muscles, which is good, but while stretching the disc will often get even more damaged.
Myth #3: “I can numb the pain with an Anti-Inflammatory or Steroid.”
The truth is that no matter how many drugs you take to mask a problem, the problem still remains. So why do it, except to provide temporary relief? And even when given for temporary relief, steroid injections can sometimes result in serious life-threatening complications.
Myth #4: “I bought a vitamin supplement on the Internet that will cure my back pain.”
Because back pain is caused by physical issues of pressure and weight within the discs of the back, no herbal or vitamin supplement is going to cure a herniated, ruptured or bulging disc. There are lots of herbal remedy products being sold on the Internet with huge promises, and while some may help your body in general, it’s simply physically impossible for them to fix a herniated disc.
Myth #5: “Traction will fix my problem.”
Just like with stretching, traction will actually put extra pressure on the spinal discs, irritating the discs, likely making the problem worse!
Myth #6: “My chiropractor will fix the problem with adjustments.”
I’m a chiropractor, and I’ll be the first to tell you that chiropractic adjustments can make a herniated disc in the low back even worse that it is! In fact, during the time while the patient is getting VAX-D, he is not allowed to get any lower back chiropractic adjustments.
Here are some more VAX-D successes!
“When I arrived at Family Life Health Center it had been six months since I’d had a good night’s sleep. I would wake up in extreme pain every morning at 3 to 4 am. Some days I could barely crawl out of bed. Now, thanks to the VAX-D treatments and the staff at Family Life Health Center, I can sleep at night, and I don’t wake up in severe pain anymore. What a wonderful feeling to not be in pain and to enjoy life fully rested. Also, I had a problem with night sweats and Dr. Jere handled that in one quick treatment. Thank you very much for drastically improving my health. I strongly recommend Family Life Health Center.” --J.R. |
“Today was the first day in 28 years that I could sit in a chair with both feet on the ground or floor and have no pain in my lower back. Today is my seventh day on the VAX-D machine. Praise God.” --K.Z. |
“I have been in pain for over two years after a workplace accident. The MRI showed a compressed disc. The pain radiated from my lower back down my left leg all the way to my toes. It threw off my posture which caused back and neck pain. I tried light duty massage and even chiropractic care. Although the different therapies helped, the pain kept me from normal function. I finally agreed to 25 treatments of VAX-D at Family Life Health Center. The treatments were simple and relatively painless. After the 14th or 15th visit the pain greatly diminished. After the 25th visit the pain was about 10% of the original. Today, two weeks later the pain is so slight it does not hinder my movements or my activities. I am looking forward to chiropractic adjustments now that my body is recovering. I am also looking forward to getting back to using my body the way it was intended. I will be resuming riding bicycles, running, swimming, etc. Thank you for your help. I encourage anyone suffering from disc problems to receive VAX-D.” --P.B. |
