BACK PAIN SO BAD
I WAS AT MY WITS END
Mike Lyons was “at his wit’s end.” The 63-year-old school bus driver began to notice his back was hurting in March. The pain just came on suddenly. At first, Lyons just let it go. But eventually, the pain got so bad that even a five-minute walk took 15 minutes. He had trouble getting out of bed and began missing work. So, he decided to visit his primary care physician. But he was told the only options were needles or surgery. In the meantime, a neighbor recommended Dr. Cianci. “On my first visit, he told me, ‘I have good news. I can help you.’”
TREATMENT
Dr. Cianci provided several types of treatment, including the use of the spinal decompression table, which is a non-surgical, safe, affordable and extremely effective treatment. “I call the machine ‘snap, crackle and pop,” says Lyons, who underwent therapy three-to-four times per week for 32 weeks. “It really helped,” says Lyons.
Spinal decompression therapy is safe at any stage of back pain. And for Lyons, the changes came on gradually. From the beginning, Dr. Cianci told him that it was going to be an uphill win-win, warning Lyons that there may be some valleys. “I had about three, and I told him about it. But all in all, that machine, along with Dr. Cianci’s chiropractic skills, were a miracle.”
RESULTS
“My back pain is 99.9% gone,” says Lyons, who continues to visit Dr. Cianci three days a week. He is now doing some spinal corrective exercises that are also helping, and is working on a wellness plan to ensure he continues to take care of himself. The treatment allowed him to keep working, and avoid surgery. “And I’ve told several bus drivers, ‘This chiropractor, Dr. Cianci, has helped me tremendously.’”
