"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."

Poor posture extracts a high price as you age because it can affect many aspects of your life
•Limit your range of motion - muscles can be permanently shortened or stretched when a slumped over position becomes your normal position. Muscles and ligaments that have been shortened or stretched no longer function as they should.
•Increase discomfort and pain - it can often cause headaches and pain in the shoulders, arms, hands and around the eyes resulting from a forward-head position. Rounded shoulders can trigger the headaches at the base of your skull where the shoulder muscles attach.
•Create pain in the jaw - a forward-head position can lead to jaw pain. This kind of pain (known as TMJ, temporomandibular joint disease) was once considered only a dental problem. Today we know that TMJ pain also may be caused or aggravated by faulty posture.
•Decrease lung capacity - reducing the amount of oxygen in your body can decrease the space in your chest cavity, restricting efficient functioning of your lungs.
•Cause low back pain - one of the most common consequences of bad posture. For people over 35, low back pain is often interpreted as a sure sign of age, although it may have been developing since childhood.
•Cause nerve interference - your spine is the basis of posture. If your posture is bad, your spine can be misaligned. Spinal misalignments may cause interference in nerve function.
•Affect proper bowel function - even this important bodily task may be affected by faulty posture. If you have a rounded shoulder, head-forward posture, it may affect your bowels. If your spine arches and sways forward, your intestines may sag and cause constipation.
•Make you look older than you are - when you are slumped over, or hunched over, not standing straight, you can add years to your appearance. For women, the more rounded the shoulders, the more breasts may sag. Any woman, no matter what her age, can help reduce the sag in her breasts by nearly 50% by simply standing tall.
