Valley Spinal Decompression Center

Jul 2023

Hard to put into words my gratitude to Valley Spinal Decompression Center. I walked in with constant cracking and neck pain. I Was having a hard time going about my busy day. I began to research alternative options , as my health provider recommended surgery or epidural shots , which I wanted to avoid at all costs. I came across a few other clinics who offer decompression services at a very costly rate . During my consultation appointment they reviewed my MRI and worked out a decompression treatment plan that literally picked me up and put me back on my feet . This method helped reverse the damage my herniated discs were causing in my neck . After a couple of months of treatment, I am back to my old self and able to function again . Special thanks to Dr. Bruce who was always so kind, patient and supportive throughout the process.

Where do I even start with Dr. Bruce? I'll start with the man himself. Such an awesome guy, and a true professional in this space. Most people that go to Dr. Bruce do so after countless failures with other treatment. The same went for me. I tried acupuncture, physical therapy, meds, Chinese meds, steroid injections, etc. None of it brought relief to my sciatic nerve pain. Then I went to Dr. B and he basically gave me my life back. I showed him my MRI, he knew that the treatment would help me, and it sure as heck did! Dr. B was a constant source of encouragement, knowledge on spinal care, and just overall great conversation. I came to him while I was borderline depressed from the pain that I was constantly in for months. My MRI showed an L5/S1 bulging disc that was constantly putting pressure on my sciatic nerve. There was a point during the treatment where my pain went down to ZERO. I had forgotten what that felt like. I now am gradually more active, lost a ton of weight to ease the pressure on my spine, and just feel like a healthy person again. I had no idea that constant pain, especially back pain could affect your entire life. That is why I say that Dr. B gave me my life back. I still keep in touch with him for advice and he's always willing to provide a maintenance adjustment. Just a couple of things to consider before getting the spinal decompression treatment here: - STICK TO THE PLAN! Go to your treatments consistently, rest your back as much as you can, hydrate, and wear your back brace after treatment - Bring him a copy of your MRI because the treatment is based on what your particular issue is (ie which disc is herniated, etc) - It can take a while to feel better. It's a process, but worth it in the end. I think my treatment was about 2 months, and noticeable relief started about 2-3 weeks in. It varies for some people, but keep doing the treatments and you should be good in 2 months or so - Finally, the work doesn't stop when your treatment ends. The treatment will get you out of pain, get the disc rehydrated, and lower inflammation in the joints and muscles. But when treatment is over, it's upto YOU to follow the instructions that he gives you. Strengthening your core, gradually exercising again, strengthening the muscle imbalances that caused your back pain in the first place, and things like that. He'll fix your back and get you out of pain, but it's your job to keep it that way. He helps in every step. Thanks again Dr. Bruce!

I had sharp mid back pain with radicular pain to my right shoulder blade, right armpit and right upper triceps. It kept me awake at night and hurt constantly. Dr. Shannahoff ordered a cervical MRI and thoracic X-rays. I had some cervical disc herniations. Dr Shannahoff used decompression traction and my symptoms resolved in about 3 1/2 weeks. We continued care for a total of 5 weeks to make sure that the underlying cause was completely taken care of.I highly recommend Dr Shannahoff.Glenn Harrison
