It has been 7 years since my treatment at Back Clinics of Canada, and I continue to believe that it’s some of the best money I’ve ever spent. No treatment is perfect but this is about the best non-surgical solution I’ve come across. After spending a lot of time chasing a solution using acupuncture, traditional chiro, massage, physio, etc., I found Dr. Ron Nusbaum’s non-invasive treatment worked for me. Thankfully my family could pitch-in with the chores while I was doing the program as I didn’t want the good work being performed by BCOC unwittingly reversed by my enthusiasm to take the garbage out or reach things high on shelves for my wife. It’s a collaborative effort!
I should say something about the ‘apparatus’ and I think everyone’s experience is different. It’s called non-surgical spinal decompression, kind of like traction but more specific and effective, it’s a 21st century, computer-controlled device using a back harness and specific geometry to target the problem area in your back. That said, yeah, when you get off the machine it can feel ‘weird’, but you’re on ice immediately afterwards so that mitigates any discomfort. Before the program, I would ‘put my back out’ constantly and SUFFER for weeks. I was not even able to drive the 20 minutes to work without stopping halfway, getting out, and stretching it out. After finishing the program my back isn’t ‘perfect’ but it’s SO MUCH more stable and rarely gives me pain.
As I said at the beginning of this post it’s been 7 years and in that time, I’ve occasionally put my back out (2-3 times) but after a good night’s sleep it bounces right back and I’m good as new!
Finally, I should say a word about the staff at Back Clinics of Canada. First, Dr. Ron is always approachable and has a quick wit that really resonated well with me. The staff there were always so nice and helpful with me regarding my appointments, my health, and even remembered details about my family and asked how they were. It’s a very nice atmosphere and I highly recommend trying this care.
