Spinal Decompression Testimonials
"I'm Now Able To Participate In Activities That I Did 20 Years Ago!"
I've had a history of back problems most of my adult life, stemming from an active lifestyle, competitive athletics, and the daily grind of work. Whenever I experienced an episode of "throwing out my back", it consisted of bed rest typically for a day. It grew to two days, then three. The pain was so intense that I literally had to roll out of bed onto the floor and crawl on my hands and knees to the bathroom!
I'll admit I've never been fond of medical doctors. They were cold, never really listened to my concerns, and only "practiced" with numerous medications to "cover-up" my symptoms. Unfortunately, I felt even more uncomfortable with chiropractors! Out of desperation, I went to a chiropractor that was from the school of manual manipulation. I found that the relief was usually just temporary and that I was always tense. I didn't like the sound of my bones cracking, and came to the belief that this couldn't be good for me! So, I suffered. And I mean I suffered! Every day was a challenge, from getting out of bed, dressing, and trying to function at work. And then I came to Regen Spine and Nerve...
I had hobbled myself to a Home and Garden show at the fairgrounds, (trying to lead a normal life) hunched over and with tears in my eyes. It was there that I met Regent Spine and Nerve's booth. The Doctor explained to me what "subluxations" were, taking time to educate me on the function of our nervous system, the "Activator Method" of correction, and he even performed a computer diagnostic test on my back!
Now, I'll admit I was quite skeptical at first. How in the world would this "activator", that you can barely feel, that doesn't make you tense up, really do any good?
Well, let me tell you. IT WORKS! Not only did I complete his detailed diagnostic plan for wellness, but I've continued on with a maintenance program to maximize my optimum health! I have no more pain. I'm able to participate in activities that I did twenty years ago, and I'm feeling healthier every day. I was encouraged to allow my body to heal itself, free of subluxations.
Regen Spine and Nerve's staff are caring and loving professionals, who I know, truly care about well-being and who want to see me enjoy, to the fullest, the life that I have so graciously been blessed. I hope that other hurting people will hear the word and act on it. I truly believe in chiropractic care and above all, I believe in Regen Spine and Nerve."

"If you're looking for an alternative to surgery... I would recommend it!
I was suffering from lower back pain when I found out that I had a herniated disc. I tried taking painkillers, but all they ever did was numb the pain. Nothing I ever tried to get rid of the pain ever seemed to work. For about 2 months I suffered with really extreme pain that ran down my leg and into my foot.
After looking online, I found out about the Regen Spine and Nerve and came in for an appointment. What I liked most about the theory behind Spinal Decompression is that it is non-surgical... and the last thing I wanted to do was have surgery!
Now that I've completed my Spinal Decompression treatment, I am able to get out of bed without any pain; I can dress myself; and I'm going for much longer walks. Best of all, I can sit for longer periods of time and I find that I'm not depressed anymore, like I used to be when I was suffering from the pain.
I would recommend Spinal Decompression on the DRX-9000 to anyone looking for an alternative to painful, expensive surgery. Plus, the staff at the Regen Spine and Nerve is great!"

"My lower back pain caused by bulging discs is what brought me to see Dr. Alff at the Ventura Spinal Care Center.
I had suffered for 2 years with back pain! I knew I did not want to have surgery, so when I saw Dr. Alff's advertisement in the newspaper I consulted with him and decided to get spinal decompression and chiropractic treatment with him.
After completing a series of treatments for spinal decompression, I feel better because my back is not now hurting!
I have learned from this that it is important to take better care of yourself! I now am maintaining my back with regular chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression.
I would rate the quality of care at the Ventura Spinal Care Center to be a 10 out of 10!"
- David Little, Camarillo
"I had been to a Neurosurgeon who diagnosed me with Degenerative Disc Disease in my low back. He called it "Old Man's Disease" and told me to go see a Chiropractor.
My wife recommended Dr. Alff for me to see.
By the time I saw Dr. Alff, the pain in my back was affecting everything I did. I had to stop everything I did at about 80% because the pain was so bad the next day. The lower right side was so painful and it never stopped! When asked what number I would give it on the pain scale, it was an 8 to 10 and it was constant.
Since seeing Dr. Alff and receiving instrument adjustments and getting treatments on the DRX9000 spinal decompression table, I have noticed a significant difference! The constant right-side lumbar spine pain went away real quick and has not returned. My movement and range of motion have improved immensely. Sleeping has been good.
The treatments are definitely working and I recommend getting them for anyone who is thinking about them."

"I contacted Dr. Alff because I had severe pain in my lower back. It was so intense that I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't bend, lift anything or climb ladders. Even getting out of my car and walking upstairs was painful.
It really defeated me, reducing my energy and the pain even made me sick. I had to take codeine for the pain which seemed to help the pain, but I still couldn't do things I wanted to do.
I went and had an MRI and it showed that I had herniated disks in my thoracic and lumbar spine. So, I started some spinal decompression treatments, along with Dr. Alff's spinal adjustments.
After just a few treatments, I felt free from pain! I am not having to take the codeine any longer. The way it is going, I know that when I finish the process of decompression, I will feel really wonderful!"
- Kathleen Morris, Ventura
"I was suffering from pain in my lower right back for about 1-1/2 years. I consulted with my primary doctor and he sent me to a surgeon for consultation. However, the surgeon told me surgery wouldn't help my condition.
I knew then that the DRX9000 non-surgical spinal decompression was a good decision. The decompression has changed my life for the better because it has eliminated almost all of my pain.
I give the quality of the care at the Ventura Spinal Care Center to be very high!"
- James R. Richardson, Camarillo
"Prior to receiving care at the Ventura Spine and nerve Center, my life, as I knew it, had ended due to the pain in my low back.
I had injured my lower back over 11 years ago. I had been given 3 epidural shots in my back which relieved the pain in my right leg, but the back pain persisted. So, I was put on Vicodin pain medication.
At 55 years of age I became permanently retired. Very unexpected. Also, pretty much retired from life.
When I met Dr. Alff, he gave my dark days new hope. After consulting with him, I chose the better, healthier, safer way healing methods and started care in his office. I received instrument-directed spinal adjustments and non-surgical spinal decompression at his Center. Since being under his care, I have cut my medications out, or if I have a minimal flare-up, I pull out the ice pack.
It was great to work with Dr. Alff because I truly believes he cares about me. His empathy has shown me to care more for others in my situation and now I am passing on the power to believe in the body's ability to heal, as long as you remove the interference.
At 6'1", my back and legs are my easel for my body to display itself. Now that I walk upright and proud, the rest of me follows easily.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the quality of care at the Ventura Spine and Nerve Center to be the very best...a 10."
- Donna Marie Bion, Ventura
"I was having a terrible problem with my low back. I really did not want to get up and move around, and it really changed my lifestyle! I had a "slipped disc" in the Lumbar 2-3 area and it was causing severe pain.
I was talking to a friend who had been to Dr. Alff. She recommended spinal decompression and told me it would make me feel much better.
So….I tried it! It's been very successful and I'm moving around and have a smile back on my face! Thank you!"
- Claire Hill, Ojai
"I came to the Ventura Spinal Care Center because I was suffering from low back pain that was radiating down my left leg for 3 years! I had tried medications, physical therapy, and spinal injections…but all the results were temporary.
I was at the point where only surgery was left. But I knew I would try anything before surgery! After the first 3 or 4 decompression treatments, I could tell I was "better" in the mornings. Most of all "I could move again!" I feel so much better. I am happy that I have found something that works! I would rate the quality of care at the Ventura Spinal Care Center to be a 10 out of 10!"
