What patients say
about our exclusive spinal decompression therapy and muscle rehabilitation program…

Here are only a few examples of the hundreds of testimonials we have
on file. These are people just like you who once suffered from chronic
low back, leg and neck pain and now enjoy a brighter, more pain-free life.

…finally ended the pain from disc deterioration

“I had deteriorated discs at L4-L5 and L5-S1 in my lower back. I
had excruciating pain in my lower back, and all the way down to my left
foot. I saw a program about decompression therapy on TV and decided to
call. After 15 sessions I had only a slight twinge of pain on occasion.
Since that day on, I am completely pain free. I jog the same as I used
to, as I did last evening. I am back without any pain at all, and I’ve
got to say that VAX-D was the thing that did it for me.”
Robert Channey M.D.
Former Assistant Surgeon General of the United States

…not only pain free, but back’s stronger too

“Thank heaven for great doctors and amazing medical breakthroughs!
VAX-D and the Med-X program have improved my life in so many ways. For
starters I am completely pain free, even without drugs! After about 5
VAX-D sessions, I was off all medications and feeling minimal pain. By
the end of my decompression therapy, I was completely pain free. Just
knowing that there is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment to permanently
fix disc problems is a huge relief. Secondly, my back is noticeably stronger.
I am now able to exercise like I used to. Your team is truly adept at
HEALING and I would gladly share my story with anyone considering VAX-D”
Joni Parker, Phoenix

…6 months pain free and counting.
Even my golf game thanks you

“After decompression therapy I can honestly say that I feel no pain
and I haven’t for 6 months. I still come in monthly for my Med-X maintenance
sessions and I feel like my back is stronger than ever. My golf game has
also improved and I can walk 18 holes with no problem! I enthusiastically
endorse your program and am very thankful for all of your help.”
Raymond Altadonna, Sun City

…spent 3 years going from doctor to doctor. No more

“I was in a terrible car accident 3 years ago and suffered from
a ruptured disc in my neck and 2 in my lower back. I had severe neck pain,
right arm numbness, lower back pain and headaches. I went to 4 doctors,
2 physical therapy clinics a chiropractor and an acupuncturist, all with
little or no relief. It has been 2 months since I finished your program
and I am pain free and back to normal. I feel like I was lost for 3 years
and I really thought that this was going to be my life, but with your
help that was not the case. Thank you for everything.”
Robert Swanson, Mesa
Sales Manager

…I thought I’d have to give up cycling until I found you

“I came to your clinic last August after being referred by my doctor
and after meeting with Dr. Pruitt I was confident that this could be the
answer I was looking for. As an avid cyclist I was devastated that I could
no longer participate in any riding events and was at my wits end. After
finishing the recommended treatment plan I was 100% better. So far this
year I have logged nearly 3000 miles on my bike and have taken part in
a number of cycling events. Had it not been for the fine care I received
at your facility I don’t believe I would have achieved all that I did
this year. It worked for me and many others, it made a big difference
in my life and will in yours as well.”

…Physical Therapist says look into VAX-D therapy first

“As a licensed physical therapist I know how to treat back pain
and have seen my share of failed back surgeries. So when my back pain
became unbearable and surgery was recommended I desperately looked for
an alternative. When I heard about VAX-D I was very interested in learning
more. I virtually crawled into the Arizona Back Institute in severe pain
and hoping for a miracle. And I am happy to say I found one. I drove an
hour each way for 6 weeks to get the treatments. The drive was painful
each time, but the results were well worth it. My pain is now a 0 out
of 10 and I am back working in my clinic. I am so grateful that I was
able to find you and I encourage anyone with back pain to look into VAX-D
before anything else. It works!”
Sandy Draper MPT, Surprise
Physical Therapist

…forget surgery and painkillers, my sciatic pain is gone

“A miracle! That’s what I truly believe VAX-D is. I was diagnosed
with a herniated disc in my lower back and it was pinching my sciatic
nerve on the right side. I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t sleep and I was in
constant pain. I was loaded with painkillers. My outlook was bleak. Surgery
was my only option, or so I thought. I saw a commercial on TV and ordered
the free video. I was amazed and hopeful. During my consultation Dr. Pruitt
explained everything and his understanding of back pain is amazing. He
told me things about my back that no other doctor had explained. After
5 sessions of VAX-D I started to feel relief. After finishing the program
I am living without pain. I am very excited to be back to normal again.
Thank you so much.”

…years of excruciating pain is now gone

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend VAX-D therapy. My story
is similar to others I am sure. I was enjoying an active day at the park
with my dogs when I bent down to lift my older dog into the truck (he
has bad hips). That’s when it happened I heard a loud pop and I fell to
my knees. It took about 10 minutes for me to straighten up and with the
help of a stranger I managed to get my dogs in the truck and drive home.
From that moment on I have suffered with excruciating back pain on and
off for years. I tried every treatment I could find. Finally I heard about
VAX-D and decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. I haven’t had any
pain since finishing my treatments and I am able to do everything I did
before including lifting my dog into the truck. Thanks for everything.”
Michael Leonard, Glendale

…two surgeries, epidurals and PT failed.
VAX-D therapy worked

“Thanks to VAX-D I have been able to avoid yet another back surgery.
I have suffered for years with back pain on and off. I have had 2 surgeries,
both only provided short-term relief. I was sure I was headed for another
one after the epidurals and physical therapy failed to get rid of my pain.
I was watching TV one day when I saw a commercial for a free video offered
on avoiding back surgery. Of course I called! I received the video a few
days later and after I watched it I was convinced that it would help me.
I called and made an appointment and when I went in I was very impressed
with the facility. Arizona Back Institute has the most sophisticated equipment
for treating back pain I’ve ever seen. They tested my back strength and
to my surprise my back strength was 80% below normal for my age and weight!
No wonder I have so many problems. After starting the program I began
to feel better almost immediately, and after my last evaluation my back
strength was actually above normal! I feel very confident that I will
never have to deal with back pain again. Thank you very much for your
awesome program.”
Jessica Wilkinson, Chandler

…grateful for Dr. Pruitt’s help and guidance

“What can I say? You guys are great. Thanks Dr. Pruitt for diagnosing
my problem correctly and thank you Scott for the excellent guidance during
my therapy. Without your clinic and decompression therapy I don’t know
what I would have done. I am very grateful.”
Jodie Waldron, Apache Junction

…tried everything and surgery was next until VAX-D

“Before I found VAX-D I was very scared about the future. I was
seeing doctor after doctor and I think I’ve been through every treatment
known to man. I had injections, therapy, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture,
and medication and was ready to finally give in to surgery. Thank God
I didn’t. A friend of mine had been to you for a car accident she had,
and said you knew your stuff. I told her I was having surgery and I was
tired of getting my hopes up each time I tried a new treatment. She persisted,
being the good friend she was, and I am glad she did. After my consultation
I really had a feeling that this may be it, even after all the disappointment.
I followed your advice and went through the entire program and as of today,
3 months later, I continue to be pain free 99% of the time. I have an
occasional twinge, but only after I do something strenuous. I am very
pleased with my outcome and am thankful for having such a good and caring
friend. I would refer someone in a second to your facility if they had
back pain, and I have.”

…I dodged a bullet according to Mayo Clinic doc

“I recently had a complete physical at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I told the orthopedic doctor about my treatment in your clinic
when I was in Arizona and his words to me were ‘you dodged a bullet’!
I highly recommend your services to any one suffering from back pain or
sciatica.”

…numbness and pain is finally gone

“In November of 2002 I began to have severe pain in my right leg.
The numbness and weakness was so great I couldn’t walk without a horrible
limp. After my VAX-D treatment I am happy to say I am pain and numbness
free! No surgery for me!”
Ken Neal, Chandler

…can throw drugs and pain killers away

“I had undergone normal physical therapy, 2 epidural injections
and loads of pain medication with no relief. After VAX-D I am pain free!”
