"I have had low back pain with radiation
down the left leg due to three
herniated discs and a ruptured
disc above the herniated discs.
After having an MRI and a surgical
consult, it was determined that
there are no surgical procedures
that could be performed. I was left
with using medication with minimal
results. My sister heard about
spinal decompression and passed
on information downloaded from
the CT Spine and Disc Center
from their website. After reading
all about spinal decompression
there was no doubt in my mind that this was the treatment I was looking
for. After making an appointment
and talking with Dr. Bellinger,
I was even more convinced this
treatment was for me. Everyone in the office is very personable
and the treatments were painless.
After 15 treatments, I am more pain
free and no longer have to rely on
medication for relief. I’m now able
to walk longer distances and climb
stairs again, I am just so happy,
I’m smiling again and I would not
hesitate to recommend this treatment to anyone! Thank you so much for giving
me a new lease on life!”

"I was having left leg pain (sciatica)
due to prolonged sitting for the past
year. Physical therapy only gave me a
little relief. In addition to left leg
pain, my left foot began having a
burning sensation. My Doctor ordered
an MRI. The MRI showed that my L4 and
L5 discs were bulging onto the nerves
of my left leg and foot. Back surgery
was out of the question. I began spinal
decompression treatment at CT Spine
and Disc Center. The treatments are
gentle, painless, and effective.
I felt relief from pain after only 4
sessions. My treatment was 20 sessions
and I am now 99.9% pain free. The DRX 9000
really worked for me ! I love that machine !
The Doctors and staff are very friendly and
professional. They excel at making you
comfortable during your visits."
Thank you CT Spine and Disc Center !- Kirk.M Manchester, CT
"After being told surgery was my only
option I was put in touch with another
treatment called the DRX 9000. My pain
was so bad, I could not do anything.
After four treatments, I was able to
stand up straight and walk again.
I am now able to do almost everything
I did before, and am enjoying the
freedom I had before. At the end
of this treatment, I no longer need
assistance of a walker or a cane
to get around. I am so thankful I
had another option. Thanks to the
Doctors and staff at CT Spine and
Disc Center. I am doing very well."
-Anne. B Tolland, CT
"I suffered mainly from headaches,
tension in the neck and shoulders, also some low back stiffness and pain. After the 1st appointment my neck felt
better and I haven't had a real
headache since that 1st
appointment. As a pharmacist,
I see many people choosing
drugs as an easy way for
treatment rather than
treating the real problems.
Chiropractic care is an
alternative that doesn't
come with the bad effects
of drug therapy."
-Michael S.
"The sciatica and weakness in
my back have improved so
drastically. In the past couple
of years I've had difficulty
straightening up after
sitting for long periods of time.
That has disappeared-
Thank goodness! I thought it
was a natural result of aging
but apparently not."

Posture is the window to our spine; So no matter what action you do- the way that you stand, sit, sleep, lift and bend, your posture will show. Below are some tips to improving your posture therefore minimizing injury to your body.
When standing - hold your head high, chin firmly forward, shoulders back, chest out, and stomach tucked in to increase your balance. If you stand all day in a job like a cashier or clerk, rest one foot on a stool or take breaks to get off your feet for a while.
When sitting - use a chair with firm low back support. Keep desk or table top elbow high, adjust the chair or use a footrest to keep pressure off the back of the legs, and keep your knees a little higher than your hips. Get up and stretch frequently--every hour if you sit for long periods of time. Do not sit on a fat wallet; it can cause hip imbalance!
When working on a computer - take a one or two minute task break every 20 minutes when you work at a computer screen. Keep the screen 15 degrees below eye level. Place reference materials on a copy stand even with and close to the terminal.
When sitting in the car - adjust the seat forward so your knees are higher than your hips. Put a small pillow or cushion in the small of your back.
When sleeping - sleep on your side with your knees bent and head supported by a neck pillow, to make your head level with your spine. Or, sleep on your back, avoiding thick pillows under your head. Use a small pillow under your neck instead. Don't sleep on your stomach. If you want to sleep on your side, take a knee pillow and place it between your knees
When lifting- let your legs do the work in order to prevent injury to your low back. Stand close to the object, then where possible squat down and straddle it. Grasp the object, and slowly lift the load by straightening your legs as you stand up. Carry the object close to your body.
When bending - never twist from the waist and bend forward at the same time. To lift or reach something on the floor, bend the knees while keeping the back straight.
