Innovative Back Solutions: Spinal Decompression

Myriam Benitez recovered from severe back pain through spinal decompression
Myriam Benitez, a local certified nurse’s assistant who works in an oncology ward, was involved in a car crash at 43rd Street and University Avenue. In the weeks that followed the accident she began to suffer debilitating neck and low back pain. The pain was so bad that she began to wonder if she would even be able to continue in the career she loved so much.

“I love helping people,” says Myriam. “I couldn’t stand the thought of not being able to return to work. My doctor was prescribing pain killers and muscle relaxers. I knew that was no way to live and I also knew that this was not going to fix the injury. My pain continued to worsen and then my attorney told me about a place that specializes in non-surgical treatment for back injuries. It was Innovative Back Solutions right here in Gainesville.

“The doctor himself actually returned my call within a few minutes. He spent an hour listening to my problem and explaining a little bit about spinal decompression. He invited me in for a consultation to evaluate my situation, review my MRI and see if my injury could be helped through spinal decompression.”

“Myriam was suffering because of a bulging disc in her lower back,” says Robert Ruano, DC. ”The bulge was pressing on several nerves surrounding the injury causing excruciating pain. There are certain injuries and conditions that spinal decompression cannot help, but fortunately for Myriam, her injury was treatable without surgery. She accepted my recommendation for a six week treatment plan and is feeling much better today as a result.”

At Innovative Back Solutions, spinal decompression treatments are performed on the revolutionary DRX9000C™ (the only one in the Gainesville area). This computerized equipment gently pulls on the affected area for short periods of time and then releases the pull. This cycle is performed multiple times during each 30 minute session. This decompression (relief of pressure) allows the much needed oxygen and nutrients to be reabsorbed back into the disc. The disc will then thicken to become the cushion it was originally designed to be. Over several weeks of
treatment, herniated or bulging discs are able to heal naturally.

As a car accident victim, Miriam’s insurance paid for most of her treatment. Whether you suffer from an accident or a long term injury, spinal decompression may be able to help you get rid of nagging, aching and even debilitating low back pain once and for all. Relieve your back pain without surgery in a calm environment with the latest technology.

The DRX9000C™ is offered in this
area only at Innovative Back Solutions. For
