My name is Huguette, and I’m 71 years old and have suffering from disc pain in my spine for a good 5 years. The pain was so bad that it totally changed my life. For example the most basic life routines at home were completely changed; I would often cancel all types of activates and appointments because the pain was so bad. I was in crisis pain almost every day of the week, and others were worse than the others. Sleeping was a “nightmare” because the pain got worse.
I use to always enjoy focusing on my family, my pets and hobbies but over the last 5 years I was completely consumed with trying to manage my pain and praying to once again live a normal life.
I was desperate for a cure that could bring me back my old life without surgery
My husband is a dentist and he found out about Back Clinics of Canada. I studied the web site and we were so impressed with the High Performance Healing system and what we learned on this site, including the patient testimonials.
We called immediately made an appointment and now after a few short weeks I am 100% pain free!! I am totally amazed with the complete change in my health. My posture is better, my flexibility of my body, the numbness and tingling and pain is totally gone.
Dr. Nusbaum and the staff are so dedicated, warm and professional and they truly care. You can feel this genuine warmth as soon as you enter the clinic.
Do not hesitate to call the office to make an appointment to see if they can help you.
They make it so easy, and it might just change your life like it did for me!
Thanks to you Dr. Nusbaum and the Staff for giving me back my health and life!

My name is Rose,

I was suffering from terrible pain from stenosis for around 10 years after and fell. The worst part of it was that I could hardly even walk from the curb to my car. I had to buy a walker. I couldn’t take trips with my friends anymore and that made me feel really bad. To be honest I was skeptical to try this, it was my last resort. Now since I completed my care at Back Clinics, for the first time in 10 years of stenosis I can walk without pain, even for distance! I am so happy with my improvement. It’s like night and day, oh my G-d I can do things again! I can stand on my feet and bake like the old days! The treatment didn’t hurt at all!

I think Dr. Nusbaum is a real good person and easy to talk to and very nice, but more important than all of that is that Dr. Nusbaum really helped me.

You should really try this!

My name is Conrado, I’ve been suffering spinal stenosis in my back for almost 4 years. It gave me buttock pain and pain on my left calf. I could only walk for about 5 minutes before the pain would start.

I have tried physiotherapy and massage therapy and acupuncture and it didn’t work too much.

I heard about the Back Clinics of Canada from a friend of mine and he said to try it and after Dr. Nusbaum’s treatment I am feeling 100% better and enjoying my road to recovery.

Thanks to Dr. Nusbaum,

And God Bless

Sciatica

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a lower back condition distinguished by very specific symptoms. Significant pain from sciatica radiates from the lower back, down into the buttock, along the back or side of the thigh, and down into the calf. For some the pain reaches the feet and toes. This path of pain is related to the two sciatic nerves which branch off from the lumbar nerves located in the lower spine. Therefore it is easier to determine if the symptoms are actually sciatica as patients only experience symptoms on one side. When unnatural compression of the lumbar nerves occur, it can lead to Sciatica.

What are the Symptoms and Causes of Sciatica?

As mentioned, the most common symptom of sciatica is that the pain radiates on one side. Symptoms include:

Pain radiating from the lower back, down into the buttock, along the back or side of the thigh, and down as far as the toes
Numbness and/or burning

Tingling or muscle weakness
Difficulty moving or controlling the leg
Difficulty sitting or standing without experiencing pain

Tingling or muscle weakness
Difficulty moving or controlling the leg
Difficulty sitting or standing without experiencing pain

Sciatica can be debilitating with episodes of pain lasting for just a few days or for months. There are many possible causes of unnatural compression of the lumbar nerves including:

Spinal Disc Herniation
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal Subluxations/Misalignment
Tumors

Trauma
Piriformis Syndrome
Pregnancy
Habits which cause misalignment of vertebrae in the lower spine

Sciatica Treatment Options

Dr. Ron Nusbaum created his own unique system of care to deliver rapid, non-invasive, and long-lasting lower back and neck pain relief. The first of its kind in Canada, the High-Performance Healing SystemTM has succeeded where other conventional treatments have failed. The system involves three steps:

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a non-invasive procedure that delivers painless, precise and accurate targeted stretching of the damaged disc, causing a reduction of pain, inflammation which jumpstarts the healing of the disc and of course the back pain it causes. Think of Spinal Decompression, a kind of an outside in healing approach.

Class IV Summus Therapy

Laser therapy, also called photobiomodulation, is used to help heal the damaged disc responsible for back or neck pain. This powerful, deep penetrating laser light is specifically aimed at the damaged discs. The laser light then interacts with the cells of the damaged discs to ultimately promote pain relief, reduction of inflammation and enhancing tissue repair of the spinal disc. Think of laser therapy as a kind of an inside-out job, just the opposite of spinal decompression.

Disc Renewal Plus™

This all-natural nutritional supplementation system was formulated with the goal to support reduction in pain and inflammation and support the healing of damaged connective tissue (discs are made of this). Disc Renewal Plus™ has a similar role to play in back pain healing as Class IV K-l laser, but from a nutritional perspective. Disc Renewal Plus™ is custom formulated by Dr. Nusbaum and available exclusively only to patients of Back Clinics of Canada.
