Back pain and/or Sciatica can literally disable you and cause your life to be handicapped, leaving you to live an existence of futile desperation.  Back pain is all too familiar to many of us. In fact, 80% of us will experience back pain sometimes in our lives.  But, acute debilitating back pain and sciatica can leave you with a life that is severely limited, and can cause you to be handicapped.

But, this does not have to be YOUR reality.  Your body is a self-healing mechanism.  Healing is an inside job; all healing takes place from within your body.  You do not need to be handicapped by your present pain and disability…especially in this modern world of healthcare.

Today, there is no reason to be handicapped by your pain! Just look at the results some of our patients have received:

I simply leaned over to get something out of the dryer and suddenly felt extreme pain when I straightened up, as though my upper body was disconnected from my lower body. I was afraid to move! When I did, I had no stability – just excruciating pain!

I have had back and sciatica problems since I was eight years old, but didn’t know chiropractic would help until I was about thirty years old.

My colleague (and former patient of Dr. Alff) referred me to his office. I was attracted to the fact that the DRX-9000 was an alternative to surgery; with a much shorter recovery time. This definitely assured me I’d have job security! And it was much more cost-effective!!!

I’ve now recovered! I’m back to teaching music to K-8 students, which I just love. And I’m much more aware of how to care for my back.

Be smart and take care of yourself. Life is so precious – as is good health!

Terry Sides - Ventura

I had sciatica pain and it stopped me from doing any sort of task where I had to sit for long periods of time: going to the theatre, attending volleyball games, etc. Even running short errands was painful.

I had tried acupuncture, therapy, and epidurals, but they did little or nothing to relieve my pain. Acupuncture worked the best for a while, but after a while the doctor told me that he could “no longer help me.”

I then found the Ventura Spinal Care Center through a friend who directed me to the website. After reading all the information, I felt like spinal decompression could be something that would really help me.

Now that my treatment has ended, I feel so much better and I’m sleeping much better at night! My attitude on health has totally changed!

Melrie Fithian – Thousand Oaks

I couldn’t walk, stand, or sleep. There didn’t seem to be anything I could do to make the pain go away. The pain in my back was running all the way down my leg and I hurt so bad that I would actually cry. The pain was stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do!

I tried a number of therapies and other treatments, but none of them worked. Everything I tried ended up failing.

I then heard about the DRX9000™ and decided to sign up. Now that I’m done with my treatments, I don’t know how I ever lived with the pain I was feeling on a daily basis. I never thought I would feel this good. I never imagined my life would be normal again. I can do things now and I’m not living my life in a constant state of pain. I feel so much better!

The best part is that I can now do things with my kids because I am no longer snapping at them due to the pain my back was causing me. Thank you!

Nicole Pastorius – El Rio

I contacted Dr. Alff because I was suffering with excruciating pain throughout all of my spine and my entire right arm. I was also suffering from a very bad case of fibromyalgia. I had been suffering with these conditions since a car accident that took place in 1972!

I’ve been to different doctors and had acupuncture therapy, but none of it really worked for me. Any relief that I got through those types of treatments left me with temporary relief at best.

After beginning treatment on the DRX9000™, the first thing I noticed was tension relief in my muscles. Prior to treatment, my back had no curvature to it like it’s supposed to. Now though, I have a nice little curve in my back like I should. My husband couldn’t believe it when I showed it to him!

Because of Dr. Alff and the DRX9000™, I can now tie my shoes and lift my arms up to curl my hair…something that prior to treatment I was unable to do. I can now get in and out of bed without being in excruciating pain. My flexibility has increased to about 90% and my fingers and arms are now 100% functional and pain free. My bladder problem has also improved. I’m sleeping peacefully, my depression has lifted, and I feel like everything has been enhanced!

Donna Jay – Ojai

I had been suffering with a pain in my back that seemed to constantly come and go. This pain, brought on by the amount of activity I was partaking in, limited my movement in both my back and hip area.

I had had several MRI’s over the years, but no cause of my pain was ever discovered. I had also attended numerous physical therapy sessions and had a small amount of chiropractic adjustments. None of it was working for me, and even the medications I took were unhelpful. Any attempt I had made in the past to recover from my back pain proved to only be temporary.

After just my first few treatments on the DRX9000™, I was sore, but pain free!

I know that if I keep up my back exercises and continue to take good care of myself that I will continue to be pain free. The DRX9000™ has provided me with a great start to living a life free of back pain. I know that it is now up to me to take advantage of what I have been given and take care of my back. After all, it’s the only one I have!

Roger McNeil – Camarillo

The pain I was suffering from affected my entire life. I was pretty immobile as the pain affected my balance and prevented me from being able to take long trips or even get to sleep.

Before trying the DRX9000™, I had tried Chiropractic care, medications, therapy, and epidurals, but the results were always temporary. Nothing helped and my pain just got worse as time went on.

After just a few treatments on the DRX9000™, I noticed that the burning pain in my back had disappeared. Now that my treatment is complete I am sleeping better at night, have more energy, and am suffering from little to in my back. My attitude as a whole is simply much better!

Treatment on the DRX9000™ is most definitely worth the money!!!

Dawn Messi – Oxnard

I was suffering from a bulging disc that made it impossible to walk. The pain was horrible!

The pain was so bad that I began to get very depressed. I thought I was going to have to live the rest of my life with this pain. Some days I could barely get out of bed because of the pain and depression I was feeling.

I knew my condition was serious, but I didn’t want to have surgery if it wasn’t necessary. When I learned about the DRX9000™ and learned that it was capable of treating herniated and bulging discs (without surgery), I knew I had to give it a try.

I’ve since finished my treatment on the DRX9000™ and I feel like a new person! Treatment really has been wonderful! The best part was that I didn’t have to have surgery!

I tell everyone about how much better I am now and I think anyone suffering with bulging or herniated discs should give the DRX9000™ a try.

God bless Dr. Alff and give him the ability to treat and help as many people as possible!

Martha Arriaga – Ojai

I had so much sciatica pain that it was affecting my sleep pattern and I could only sit for short periods of time. The pain was taking a toll on my disposition and energy level. I was in such pain that it was difficult to perform even the simplest of household tasks.

X-rays and MRIs showed that I had a herniated and bulging disc. I took Vicodin and other pain medications, but it pills never got rid of the pain. I even had two epidurals, and while they provided short periods of relief, the relief never lasted.

After only three of four weeks on the DRX9000™, the sciatica pain had all but disappeared. I no longer have sciatica pain and I am thankful that I have been able to return to living a more active lifestyle.

Not only do I feel great about my experience on the DRX9000™, but the friendliness and caring concerns of the office staff provided a pleasant atmosphere for healing!

Clarice Steen – Oxnard

I was having some sharp pain in my lower back when I first began looking for help. The pain was so bad that I couldn’t walk, sit, or stand (I had to use a cane).

I went to my family doctor about the pain and he told me that I had two bulging discs in my back. To treat these bulges, the doctor prescribed me with a number of medications and even gave me some cortisone shots. The medication only seemed to cover up the pain though.

After realizing that the medications weren’t going to solve my back pain problem, I began looking for alternative means of treatment. This is when I came across Dr. Alff and his DRX9000™ treatment machine.

It was incredible, but after just my fourth treatment on the DRX9000™, I began to experience immense relief. By my ninth treatment, I was able to stand, sit, and walk without my cane.

Now that I’ve finished my treatment on the DRX9000™, I feel 90% better. I can not only do things that I had previously found impossible, but I am sleeping better at night and am doing more work around the house.

I was incredibly skeptical of this sort of treatment when I first started because I had tried so many other types of treatment, and they had all been of little of now help. The DRX9000™ is different though. It’s relieved my pain and changed my life!

Chano Peralta – Oxnard

I had been told that I had the back of an eighty-five year old man… but I was only 45! I had a number of degenerative discs in my back and no doctors thought that I could be helped. They said that they couldn’t even give me a surgery because my back was in such bad condition.

I had tried getting spinal adjustments in the past, but the only thing that seemed to relieve the pain was Vicodin.

After being turned away from numerous doctors and surgeons, I decided to try the only option that I had available…and I’m sure glad I did!

When I first came in to see Dr. Alff, I read a number of the testimonials that he has in the office, but I didn’t believe that I could actually be helped like these other people had been helped, but I was wrong.

After not being able to stand fully erect for the last ten years, I am now able to not only stand erect, but sit on the floor as well! For me to sit on the floor before seeing Dr. Alff was absolutely impossible, but now I do it with ease!

I’m living proof that this stuff does really work!

Bob Waltman – Ventura

About 16 years ago I went to lift a heavy couch and ended up injuring my lower back. From then on, just getting up out of a chair was a source of considerable pain.

My nephew is a Chiropractor on the east coast and he has a DRX9000™ in his office and he had been telling me how the machine might be able to fix my back problem. So, when I saw Dr. Alff’s ad in the newspaper about the DRX, I decided to give it a try.

My pain was bad and anything sounded better than surgery, so giving the DRX9000™ a try was something I knew I had to do!

I’ve since straightened out a problem that had been causing me pain for a very long time. Because of the DRX9000™, everything has changed for the better!

Adella Ashley – Ventura

I had back pain 24/7. My walking was crooked and the more activities I participated in, the more my pain increased. I tried practically everything to stop the pain, but nothing seemed to work. I couldn’t get out of pain and I couldn’t stop living, so I was forced to live with the pain in my daily life.

The first thing I noticed when I started treatment on the DRX9000™ is that the pain lessened from being spread throughout my back to just being concentrated in a smaller portion of my spine. Now that I’m finished with my treatments though, my lower back pain in no longer there! Even my upper back and shoulders now feel amazing! This is the best I’ve felt in over 30 years!

Joseph Bibby – Ventura

I had very bad lower back problems. I had tried shots and physical therapy… and while the physical therapy helped for a couple of days after treatment, the pain would always return. The pain continued on an off for about five years and it got so bad that my primary care doctor said that I might need spinal surgery.

Then I heard about the Ventura Spinal Care Center from some friends who were treated by Dr. Alff on the DRX9000™ previously. I also saw Dr. Alff on a TV show in which he explained how the DRX9000™ worked and how it could be used to treat a problem such as mine.

The DRX9000™ has made my life 100% better in every aspect. The whole experience has been very positive and I’m sleeping like a baby! I give this office a 10!

Louis Cvijanovich – Oxnard

My total health was very poor before I began treatment on the DRX9000™. The pain that I was experiencing on a daily basis was nearly intolerable. I was in so much pain that I had to stop working and eventually, stopped socializing. My mental state was pretty bad and I was in so much pain that I was irritated all the time.
In order to deal with the pain I was experiencing, I was taking up to six or seven Vicodin a day. The pain never really went away after taking the medication, but it sure did give me a stomachache.

After just my first treatment on the DRX9000™ I instantly noticed that I was in less pain and was even able to walk better than I had in the past. It was amazing, but I could actually see my shirts becoming shorter on me as I became taller. My posture improved so much and I was not able to stand up straight!

My experience on the DRX9000™ could be described as SUCCESS all the way around!!! I have so much less pain, my mood is better, I’m completely off the Vicodin, and I have a new outlook on life!

My life is back! Thank you Dr. Alff and Staff!!!

Gloria Morales – Ventura

I was suffering from sciatica when I heard about the Ventura Spinal Care Center through an ad in the newspaper.

The pain was affecting my life in every way possible. I was constantly in pain, always sleepy, had a constant lack of appetite, and found walking to be extremely difficult.

I finally decided to give non-surgical spinal decompression on the DRX9000™ a try after finding out that it was a non-invasive treatment and that these treatments were to be administered by a trustworthy chiropractor.

The DRX9000™ and Dr. Alff have literally given my back new life! Thank you!

Royal H. Copeland – Oxnard

I originally came to the Ventura Spinal Care Center because I was suffering with lower back pain. I had tried drugs, rehab, and chiropractic, but nothing was giving me the results that I was looking for. I was tired all the time and often times had to take naps during the middle of the day. Any relief that I experienced was always temporary and the pain went on for over twelve years. When I heard about the DRX9000™, I knew I had to give it a try because I really wanted to find something that would give me more than just temporary relief.
I’m currently 47 years old, but now that I’ve completed my treatment on the DRX9000™, I feel thirty years “young.” I now have the energy to play sports with my son, go camping, and dirt bike riding with my family. Thanks to Dr. Alff and the DRX9000™ I can now be the father I’ve always wanted to be and I will always be grateful for that!

If you’re suffering from back pain, you at least owe it to yourself and your family to at least give the DRX9000™ a try before you even consider having surgery.

Tim Neathery – Oak View

My back pain was getting so intense that I was having problems doing simple tasks like grocery shopping, or just moving around the house. After three years of suffering with the pain and countless prescriptions of pain pills prescribed by medical doctors, I saw an ad in the Ventura County Star about the DRX9000™ that Dr. Alff has in his office and I decided to give it a try.
I thought I had tried everything else and I just wanted to try the DRX as one last resort.

Now that I’ve completed my treatment on the DRX9000™ , I feel a whole lot better. I am in a lot less pain and I can now enjoy my days more as I can now go shopping, dry my hair, vacuum the house, and sleep better at night. I have more energy now… I’m walking straighter… and I’m looking better.

More than anything else, I’m a happier person. I’m looking forward to truly living again!
