I am happy to report that I am still doing fine and my back is as strong as ever. I am now at a point where I am able to resume regular activities with the kids, and not even worry about it. I tend to be a little more reserved still, I am certainly not going to go water ski-ing again but I will jump on the trampoline or help my husband (carefully) move furniture around the house. If I start to feel any discomfort or pain I immediately rest and ice, rest and ice in that order, which seems to work just fine.

I think its very normal over the course of time to feel some over-tiredness in the back area (not be confused with pain), for instance if I spend the day raking leaves, I know my back will be sore and tired, but ice and rest always resolves the situation. I certainly have not felt the intense back pain that came with the ruptured discs since completing my treatment in 2006.

It’s still truly amazing to me that had I not found the information on the DRX-9000 I would have been going into surgery for my disc problem, but with time and decompression therapy I have recovered completely and I am still 2” taller. It seems that all my reservations regarding the DRX-9000 have been resolved. I was concerned that it was a temporary fix, that my back would not be as strong as it had been or that I would only feel mild relief, I am now completely confident that my recovery is complete and as long as I take care of my back as I should have been all along, I will continue to experience the joy of little or no back pain after a day of shopping or playing with the kids.

Call Dr. Paul or Dr. Susan to discuss whether the DRX-9000 might be the right treatment for you.

“For many years I have experienced very specific, sharp, low back pain resulting from an injury which occured over twenty years ago. Although I have maintained my strenght and mobility all these years with regular chiropractic treatments and massage therapy, I was still in constant pain especially while lying down, making it difficult to sleep.

I began the DRX 9000 treatments with Drs. Fontana and followed their specific instructions and treatment plan for my first 11 sessions then left for a week’s vacation. I was pleased to find that my pain was reduced significantly during my trip. Returning from the trip I was again in pain and resumed the DRX treaments and again after several more sessions began enjoying significant relief. I have had a total of 17 (or 18??) sessions and am very pleased that I have experienced approximately 65% to 75% overall improvement and am confident that my imporovement will be even greater by continuing the treatments. I am very excited and grateful to have found a treament that is effective in alleviating that nagging sharp pain and allowing me to heal by utilizing a non-invasive modality without the use of drugs or surgery. Thank you Dr. Paul and Dr. Susan for introducing this therapy to Evergreen. And thanks to you and your staff for making coming in for treatments a very pleasant experience.”

When I first came to Fontana Chiropractic, I had gone through over a month of debilitating pain from sciatica. There had been no car accident, and I didn’t fall, but my L5 had apparently had enough. I could hardly walk, I could not sit or stand for any length of time and I could not sleep due to the pain. Chiropractic alone had given me a small amount of relief, but it became increasingly apparent that it was not bringing about the healing that I needed. I had begun to contemplate a future that included this pain as part of my daily life. I was discouraged.

At this time we began treatment on the DRX. I have to admit I was a mite fearful at first. I didn’t know if the machine would hurt or if it would help. Vut the pain had made me desperate. After about ten treatments, I began to experience some relief and douns that I could sleep better, and could even sit for awhile without increasing my pain level. After twnty treaments, most of the pain was gone. By twnety-two treatments, I am pain-free. I still have to be careful, and I know my body is not finished healing. But the relief from pain has changed my outlook on life and, thankfully, I will enjoy Christmas without pain, something I dared not hope for before this treatment.

My thanks to the Fontana’s and to Peggy for caring for me as if i’m one of the family.

I first came to Dr. Fontana’s office on Dec. 19th to seek advice on chronic back pain in my L-5 region. After my consult I decided to go with the DRX treatments. My back at first when I came in was painful every day and I had times when I could not move from shooting pain through this area for 1-5 secs. After starting the treaments and following Dr. Fontana’s advice within a few days the shooting pain decreased and lower back pain was not an all day and night ordeal. As i’m aware of my back problem today,  after all my treatments this no longer stops me from everyday activities and things I had given up. My pain level decreased from 7 – 2 on a scale of 1-10 (one being pain free) and I believe that if I continue with Dr. Fontana’s exercise program as well; I can minimize the pain for time to come. Lastly, his staff is one of the best and I couldn’t have asked for better care from them or Dr. Fontana. If you need help or care for this lower back pain I would without a doubt send you to Dr. Fontana and his great staff, they are the best in my book!!

For years I suffered with pain caused by degnerative disc disease. I would get injections and feel better for a short time, then steadily get worse until I would have to take narcotics and finally receive another injection. In August of 2004 I was yet again taking narcotics to try to manage the pain. A friend told me about the DRX 9000 machine and that one was available at Fontana Chiropractic in Evergreen, CO. After checking information about the procedure and visiting the office, I started treament immediately. After only a few treatments I was able to stop taking all medications. I felt better than I had in over six years. The complete treatment plan offered by the Fontana’s included DRX 9000, chiropractic adjustments, ice and stimulation and massage therapy. I looked forward to going to their office. Now more than a year later I still feel great, still not taking any medications. This was the best thing I ever did for the health of my back.

Dating to 1997 I have had back trouble that continued to affect me. An MRI in 2003 indicated a bulging / herniated disc. The neurosurgeon suggested surgery. I opted for steroid injections and have had 3 of those. Last year, the injection hit my spinal cord resulting in spinal headaches.

At the end of February, my back pain started again and after 3 weeks of pain medication and not able to work, I came to Dr. Fontana’s office to begin the DRX program.

As of this date, I have no pain and am able to resume all activities including skiing, golfing and softball. The staff and Paul and Susan have been fantastic. I really appreciate the quality and results they have provided.

I highly recommend anyone with back trouble to seek the DRX treament program with Drs. Fontanta.

Thank you Kevin F. H…

Lower left side of my back felt twisted and knotted with a pain down the right leg into the heel of my right foot. Aggrevating and constant nagging pain brought me to the clinic. After sessions of adjustments and stim work I went on to the DRX machine. My lower back and leg pain have been cut in half and I don’t take as many pain medications to get throught the day and night.  Half way through the treatments I feel more spacing in my lower spine area with less stiffness and much more flexibility. My cycles have returned and there is more regularity to all other body functions. I look forward to each session and would suggest this treatment to others suffering from lower back problems.

I heard about the DRX9000 and did my homework and found Dr. Fontana had a very reasonable rate. He made it affordable!! I had him do x-rays for my most recent condition which wasn’t looking too promising. I knew it was said that after 10 treatments I should be feeling improvement. I began treatments on April 3, 2006.

I was amazed after the first treatment; the pain in my legs was gone. And a good night’s sleep ever since!! With every treatment things got better and better. My shoulders were back in position. I could stand up straight (I was Taller Again!!) I could walk distances (no more dragging myself behind a shopping cart). I can bend over and get right up again. NO MORE PAIN!!

Now that my body is in a more normal position, I can exercise to support and keep it there. Ok, my knees are still bad, but to be given back a more functioning body in 5 weeks, all those trips to Evergreen were a no brainer!

My thanks. I love feeling like me again.
