($25 EVALUATION TO ANYONE WHO IS SUFFERING WITH THESE CONDITIONS) Having back and leg pain can feel like a crip- pling condition. You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to un- derstand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep. Do You Have Any of the Following? • Sharp pains in the back of the leg • Lower Back Pain • Herniated/bulging discs • Numbness in your arms or legs • Shooting hip or thigh pain • Muscle spasm, sprains & strains If you’ve suffered from any of these annoying conditions, you may have “Sciatica”. Sciatica is a compression of the sciatic nerve, usually by an L4 or L5 disc herniations. Discs act like a cushion between our backbones and allow for a space at each level so the nerves can exit the spinal column. Scientifi c studies tell us that spinal discs are responsible for most of the aches and pains people suffer from. When these discs get injured or wear out from bad posture or old injuries, they begin to degen- erate and cause pain. Bulging and herniations begin to form, pressing on the nerve roots. If the herniations occur at L4-L5, they can severe- ly compromise the large sciatic nerve, causing muscle weakness, tingling, and severe pain. Unfortunately many people think back surgery is the only way to fi x sciatica and disc prob- lems. But here’s the problem… there is a high failure rate of back surgery. One medical study found that on average, 53% of L5-S1 back surgeries fail to produce relief of symptoms (Internation- al Orthop 1987.) Your Drugless, Non-Surgical Solution Fortunately, if you are suffering from any of the problems listed above, they may be relieved or eliminated by non-surgical spinal decompres- sion. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a new technology that has been proven to reverse disc herniations. It creates a vacuum effect on the disc, which pulls the disc back into its normal position and brings in a fresh blood supply to promote healing. Spinal decompression treatments are very gentle. In fact, every once and awhile I even catch a patient sleeping during sessions. You simply lie on your stomach or back, whichever is comfortable, and then a special- ized belt is gently put around your waist. We’ll set the machine to focus on your problem area – then the advanced decompression computer system will do the rest. Scientifi c Studies Show High Rate of Success A medical study found patients went from moderately painful to almost no pain with decompression treatments. – Am Society of Anesthesiologist, 2006 Chicago, IL Another study presented at the American Acad- emy of Pain Management in 2007 showed… “Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function…No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injections, surgery).” These are just two studies out of a dozen done in the last few years, all showing promising results. Here’s the point of all these studies… spinal de- compression has a high success rate with help- ing disc herniations, sciatica, and back pain. This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

(Across from Carter Chevrolet) I look forward to helping you get rid of your pain so you can start living a healthier, more joyful life. Sincerely, Dr. Rich Berkowitz, D.C. P.S. The only real question to ask yourself is this… What Will Your Pain Feel Like 1 Month From Today? One of the biggest myths about pain is that it goes away all by itself, without any treatment. A May 1998 study in the British Medical Jour- nal proved this myth false, showing that 75% of back pain sufferers who do nothing about it will have either pain or disability 12 months later. Life’s too short to live in pain like this. Call to- day and soon I’ll be giving you the green light to have fun again.
