I suffered from neck and back pain for 15 years! It all began for me after a serious motorcycle accident. I suffered multiple broken bones and was hobbling on crutches for a year.

While initially the pain was manageable it soon became frequent and intense.
I became dependent on massage therapy sometimes just to help me get through the day. I discovered yoga and became a passionate practitioner. Yoga seemed to alleviate and stave off my discomfort until 5 years ago when a yoga practice would hurt me more than help me.

Five years ago I started golfing. But last season to my chagrin, I would be dragging my driver behind me after only 9 holes and spending more time in a golf cart than walking and playing the course. For 15 years I consulted and was treated by numerous healthcare practitioners including Sports Medicine Doctors, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Naturopaths, Registered Massage Therapists and Acupuncturists. My pain not only continued but was exacerbated with any activity I attempted, and my yoga practices become a long lost love. I gained weight because of my enforced inactivity, was tired of being tired all of the time and cried many times with both the pain and the frustration. I was a victim of chronic pain.

I first heard about Back Clinics of Canada on Newstalk 1010 and then did my due diligence on the internet and consulted with both practitioners and ‘sufferers’. With the severe disc degeneration that I have in my neck, my greatest fear was that Dr. Ron Nusbaum would not accept me as a patient for spinal decompression following his assessment. I have completed my course of therapy and recently returned from a golfing trip in the Bahamas. I outshot my husband on one game… He wasn’t very happy but I was ecstatic and pain free. I can’t wait to start practicing yoga again!!
Thanks Dr. Nusbaum – you have given me back my life!
