Dear Doctor,

Were it not for your treatment, I would still be in pain and unable to enjoy a normal active lifestyle. As you know, I was diagnosed with degenerative Disc Disease and saw many doctors over the years, none of the previous treatment were successful in improving my condition.

Thank God I found you. I was really pleasantly surprised to find that I felt much better after just 3 visits. After completing the program, all the pain was gone. What a relief to be able to be rid of that persistent pain that I endured for much too long. If someone in physical pain simliar to mine spoke with me about it, I would refer that person to you without hesitation. With great appreciation for you and respect for the very powerful tool of VAX-D, I thank you.

“The back pain was unbearable” The easiest chores in my everyday life became nearly impossible to do. I could barely even go to the bathroom, let alone lie down in bed “. Back pain can strike over 18 million people per year. The majority of back pain is from degenerative disc disease, or from a herniated disc, causing the back pain sufferer tremendous discomfort and frustration, Back pain effects one’s entire life. “The physical pain was miserable, but what bothered me the most was the fact that I could not properly care for my son. I pride myself on my independence and I was off work for 7 months. I am only 24 years old and my back was causing me to walk with a limp” I had tried Physical Therapy, ultrasound treatment, heat therapy, chiropractic, stretching, exercise, and even pain medications. I have seen the disastrous results of the back surgery performed on my father, and did not want to spend the rest of my life on pain killers, or chance surgery.” My physician recommended I try VAX-D “, Short for Vertebral Axial Decompression system developed by Dr. Alan Dyer, the inventor of the heart defibrillator . Clinical research has shown outstanding results even when surgery and other treatment methods have failed. ” After 12 treatment sessions I noticed a huge difference. I could sleep without pain, bathe on my own, and was finally walking without a limp”. I eventually returned to work full-time, I thank VAX-D for making my life happen again”,

Bulging Disc
“Vax-D was 100% effective at eliminating my back pain” E. Recca

My living is working in a hospital, setting up conference rooms. This means moving tables and chairs continuously. Some tables weigh up to 200 lbs.

One day I lifted one of these 200 lb tables and I thought I pulled a muscle. Little did I know that I herniated a disk. For over a year I lived through this pain, until the pain started going down my left leg. I knew something was wrong.

The MRI read that the L4, L5 discs were herniated. At first I tried physical therapy. This was a bad choice. One day I heard on the radio about VAX-D therapy. I talked to my employer to let me try this therapy and they did. It was this, or have surgery. To me surgery must be, should be, when all else fails, the last thing to do.

Well, because of VAX-D therapy I have felt the best I have felt in over a year. I am grateful and thankful that there was something more I could do for myself than go under the knife. Sometimes it’s just so hard to tell someone how good I really feel.

For over a year I suffered when I would cut the grass, drive my car, walk, sit… Today it’s hard to remember how bad I felt.

I would like to take a moment to thank you for exceptional treatment that has been provided to me. Your outstanding, experienced and always friendly staff has made my experience at American Back Centers a pleasant one. In particular, I would like to thank Dr. Pete who took extra steps to examine my situation and explain in extensive detail what options were available to me. I would also like to thank Tina Pracht who handled the financing and insured my treatment at American Back Centers was covered.

In addition to the help of your thoughtful staff, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the VAX-D.

After the surgery I received in September 1997 on my lower back, I was promised by the surgeon to be pain free and I was — for about a year. After the first year, the pain slowly crept its way back in. After a few months the pain became unbearable. I sought relief from a local chiropractor who managed to help me for a few months. The pain in my lower back, however, never seemed to disappear. It wasn’t long after I began treatment that the treatment itself was failing. I was back to square one, full of pain and unable to move. It was in the beginning of April when I first heard an advertisement for American Back Centers on the radio.

At first I was skeptical. What could these people do for me? The only way to remedy failed back surgery is more surgery, right? But…

I was out of options. The pain in lower back was affecting every aspect of my life.

I called the number and explained my situation. The receptionist explained some of the procedures and emphasized their use of the Vertebral Axial Decompression (VAX-D) table. Since I’ve never heard of such a thing, she gave me a web address (www.vax-d.net) for more information. After some researching, I decided to give it a try. A wise decision.

After two weeks of therapy, I noticed a significant change in the way I felt. As therapy progressed my condition improved. After a few months of therapy with the VAX-D and regular checkups my condition is, dare I say, pain free.

I would recommend the VAX-D to anyone with low back pain, but more importantly I would recommend American Back Centers because of the personal and friendly service that was provided for me. Thank you for improving the quality of life for me.

I suffered with extreme low back pain due to a herniated disk. After seeking the advise of my doctor, he felt I needed back surgery to feel any relief. And no golf or basketball until after the operation or for an extended period.

Then I decided to go to the American Back Centers. Dr. Peduzzzi assured me that with VAX-D therapy, I would be as good as new. Well, I went for several months of treatment and haven’t had and problems since 1997. Thanks to American Back Centers and VAX-D therapy for saving me from surgery.

 

VAX-D saved me from surgeryTom - Pittsburgh, PA

I wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with the very professional and effective treatment I received at your clinic for the herniated disc injuries I sustained in my car accident in October. Initially I consulted with the family doctor and the treatment was exercises. No MRI or x-rays were taken except for what was taken at the hospital. My chief complaint at that time was low back pain with left thigh numbness. After about one month of this type of treatment my condition was going nowhere and my doctor suggested I might need surgery. This is when I consulted you at American Back Centers. I was very pleased and impressed with the thoroughness of the examination and the explanation of my condition. This is even more significant because I was not a believer in chiropractors. You ordered an MRI and that revealed that I did have a herniation of my L4-5 disc.

To say the least, I have had excellent results with treatment at your clinic and I am very impressed with the VAX-D therapy. What impressed me most is that I was discharged after only ten weeks of treatment and I am able to resume my normal lifestyle. I am grateful to you for saving me from surgery.

I would highly recommend to anyone with a herniated disc to try VAX-D first before considering any other treatment, including surgery or injections.

Since 1991 I have had three surgeries to repair repeated herniated disks. I had a fourth surgery one week after the third surgery to repair the scar tissue damage caused by the previous surgeries. Before each surgery I tried both physical therapy and some chiropractic, but they did not give me more than minimal, short-lived relief from the excruciating spasm pain that ran down my hip and lag all the time.

In December of 1999 I was miserable and in such pain again, with another herniated disk, that I was ready for yet a fifth surgery, desperate to get some relief. Luckily, during that time I learned about Dr. Miskovich’s VAX-D therapy and the American Back Center. I was a skeptic at first, but I have been coming here since then, and never had to undergo another surgery, because I have found almost total relief. For the first few months I had VAX-D several times per week, but since the beginning of April I’ve tempered my treatments down to once or twice a month.

Relief came within the first three weeks and now after several months I am almost totally free of any pain and will never consider surgery again! I am so completely happy that I found the American Back Center I recommend it to anyone considering any kind of neck or back surgery. Please try this first! I was a skeptic in the very beginning, I had given up on being pain-free, but this works!

My quality of life is one that I never dreamed I would have again. My wife and kids are thrilled, too! They have their old husband and dad back again!

Sincerely,

I was only in my early thirties, when after years of abusing my back with heavy lifting the pain in my lower back was so bad that rest and over the counter remedies did nothing to ease the pain. I finally went to my family doctor who prescribed pain pills and muscle relaxers. With no improvement I then saw an Orthopedic surgeon. He also gave me pain medicine and ordered Physical Therapy. Some therapy would give me temporary relief but the pain would return before long and always seemed to be getting worse.

Over the next twelve years I was referred to eighteen different health care facilities. I saw Orthopedic Physicians, Physical Therapist, Chiropractors, and Pain Clinics where I received pain injections and nerve blocks.

I was finally thinking about quitting work because I couldn’t live with the pain anymore. It was only a fifteen-minute ride to work for me, but by the time I arrived I couldn’t even get out of the car. A fellow employee asked if I had ever heard of VAX-D. I did some research about VAX-D and then called for an appointment.

I started VAX-D  with an evaluation by Dr. Peduzzi and a review of my MRI. Dr. P. felt he could help. At first I was skeptical, but thought, what do I have to lose, I had tried everything else. I started with four sessions a week and wearing a back brace during the day. Within a month I noticed results and kept thinking, this is too good to be true. By the following summer I was able to take a nine-hour car trip to Connecticut and still felt great.

It’s been two years and I still feel wonderful. I see Dr. P every two or three months just for maintenance VAX-D treatments. I am so grateful for VAX-D and to the entire staff of The American Back Center that I have recommended it to other friends and co-workers. All are just as satisfied.

I suffered from recurring low back pain for 14 years. Chiropractic adjustments had helped on occasion, but they were no longer working and I needed a new solution. An MRI showed that I had two herniated discs between L4-L5 and L5-S1. These herniations caused intense pain, which traveled down from my lower back down my left leg, ending with numbness in my toes. It was very frustrating that I could no longer participate in golf, tennis,and hiking. I work in sales and had to travel on airplanes weekly and this was very difficult. I talked to a friend about this treatment called Vax-D, he said that I should schedule a consult with the doctor ASAP, I did, and after meeting with the doctor, I started the treatment plan the next week. I underwent Vax-D and the other therapies at American Back Center for 6 weeks. I saw amazing results with this non surgical treatment, I no longer have any leg or back pain, and the numbness is gone. I can play golf again, and those long plane rides are longer a problem for my back. Thank you for giving me my life back.

Thank you american back center, and Dr. Peduzzi for saving me from almost spending tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket for laser surgery which as I read and talked to the doctor, has no better success rate then regular back surgery, and also has all the possible complications involved. I luckily heard an ad on the radio advertising Vax-D and the american back centers. I went for a consult, sat down and talked to the doctor. I was really impressed by the knowledge of disc problems he has, and he explained my problem in detail, doing a through examination, and going over my MRI report. I must say that this office really does know what they are doing, they have many happy patients, that praise them and their treatment methods. I finished the Vax-D protocol, going through ABC’S unique program, and I am now pain-free, and enjoying life again! I am able to enjoy my family again and the activities that we love to do together, thank you again.
