"When I first came in to see Dr. Poelking I was clueless to how the spine works. He explained so much that I felt like an “expert” on the functions of the spine.  My first visit – which was the exam - I could not move, I could not bend, walk, lift my legs or sit/stand for long periods of time.  The exam on my spine and the x-rays taken showed there were more “problem” areas in my spine other than my lower back. Something I wasn’t aware was happening.

During my eight week program/3 times a week I did the decompression therapy, physical therapy, electrical stimulation and alignment. Within the first three sessions (my first week) I could tell the herniations had moved off my sciatic nerve.  I was almost in no pain and could walk again!  As the treatment continued I was able to bend and move like I did 10 years ago.  The pain was gone.  I felt better physically so that boosted me to start losing weight – 25 lbs. in 6 weeks! 

My friends and family are so happy of my improvement. I am happier and not complaining all the time that I am in pain or I can’t do something like clean the tub or do dishes.  I continue to do the core strengthening exercises everyday because I don’t want to end up how I was 8 weeks ago.  I am glad I chose to come here instead of having surgery which would have meant a spinal fusion.

Thanks to everyone here for helping me along the way. Everyone is so nice and caring.  I was actually excited to come 3 times a week – I never dreaded it one time!  Thanks again for making me the person I was before my first surgery!"

"When I went to Dr. Poelking I was in severe pain and could not walk very good.  After about 4-5 treatments the pain was less and when all the treatments were done, the pain was gone and I could walk a lot better.

I still go for maintenance care so I will not get in the shape I was before. Now I welcome each new day without pain. “LIFE IS GOOD!”

"After several years of suffering with lower back pain, I found Dr. T.J. Poelking via the television.  There was a unique program that explained just what he and his office staff could do to help with such a situation.

I had been to my family doctor, pain management doctor, orthopedic doctor, acupuncture doctor and had taken much pain medicine plus topicals.  After just a few sessions with Dr. Poelking I found I was in less pain, had more energy and slept so much better.  By the time my 20 treatments were over I was in such a better state…physically and mentally.

I  definitely would recommend his services to others.  He has made this 73 year old lady feel so much better and I am not taking pain medications.  He and his staff were so very kind and generous with their caring and time.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"I have herniated discs in my lower back, also problems in my upper back.  The doctor would not do surgery.  I didn’t want surgery anyway.  I saw this in the paper about Dr. Poelking and decompression.  My husband and I went to the office and I signed up for the program, and I can say I am very happy I did.  My back feels much better.  I get around better, I am able to get out of bed in the morning and walk.  The therapy was great. I was very impressed."
