What Our Patients Are Saying

When I first came to the office, I had continuous pain which was occasionally severe. It affected me most in my left buttock and groin area. It made sitting, standing, and walking uncomfortable. If I did any of those at length, it would get much worse. It would feel ok at first, but if I didn’t constantly vary my position it would get very intense. I was constantly icing my back (up to 10 times per day) and taking pain medication. I had also tried stretching on exercise ball and taking pain medication.

Now, I have nearly complete relief. There is still some stiffness on days after the decompression treatment, but it goes away within hours. I can walk, and sit without bothering my back. I went to Bush Gardens with my grandkids and my low back did not get sore at all!

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION PATIENT

“When I first came to Dr. Winget my feet were numb, prickly, and burning. They are so much better. I can also stand and walk further than I have in years. Even my stomach problem which is GERD has gone away. Also my diabetes is much better I don’t have to take medicine for it. My breathing is 75% better.  I barely have any pain from my arthritis and I can walk much farther without losing my breath.

I also shuffled my feet when I walked and now lift them when I walk.

Without Dr. Winget I don’t think I would have gotten better and I think he saved my life. I don’t think it, I know it.

They are all very caring people and very helpful. Everyone cares how you are doing.”

CHIROPRACTIC PATIENT

Before starting my decompression program, I had low back problems and it was suggested that I have surgery on my back. My daily life was greatly impacted. I couldn’t sit for longer than 10 minutes. The pain was so intense that I was forced to stop exercising. As a result I lost 12 pounds in four months from being in constant pain. I had a steroid injection in my back and it made my back pain worse! The doctor I was going to suggested surgery and wanted to put a metal rod in my spine. With Lordex, I noticed a change in my pain level by the fourth visit! I can now sit in my chair at work for an hour and 45 minutes at a time, instead of only 10 minutes, and that is getting better each day! I am also exercising again and able to do light housework that I couldn’t do before decompression. I am walking more and at a faster pace each time I walk. My pain is a lot better and I have gained back 5 of the 12 pounds that I had lost. I am no longer facing a painful and dangerous back surgery!

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION PATIENT

I was under regular chiropractic care and was referred to Dr. Winget by my chiropractor to be evaluated for spinal decompression. I had a herniated disc, with sciatic pain going down my right leg. The pain was sharp, radiating, and burning. The longer the time, the more it moved down my leg. It started in my back and hip, and went to the thigh, then the knee, lower leg, and finally to the foot.

On 28 August 2010, I went to urgent care. They diagnosed it as sciatic nerve inflammation and gave me hydrocortisone. On 01 September 2010, I went to a general practitioner who ordered an x-ray and MRI and gave me something for the inflammation. On 04 September, I went to an emergency room and had a shot, and they gave me some Percocet. On 13 September I first went to Raleigh Specific Chiropractic.

Since starting with decompression, I have felt better every time I came for treatment. While taking the treatment, it felt so good that I wanted to stay on the machine, and I felt relieved and felt like my discs were hydrating. While going through the treatment, my right leg bothered me more but was told that it would be normal because my back was being straightened out. Now after the treatment the pain is gone and I feel stronger than before I started down this road.
