“I have multiple experiences to share , the first being my own. I was on a hiatus from healthcare (I am also a chiropractor and nationally certified as a provider of non-surgical spinal decompression) for several years and during that time I suffered a fall while painting a bathroom at home and then a whiplash injury on my John Deere tractor. Based on my symptoms I suspected a bulging neck disc and my MRI confirmed it. Being a spinal decompression specialist too, I knew what I needed to do but was not practicing at the time. Being newly relocated to the Memphis area, in my search for a doctor who provides spinal decompression I found Dr. Wootton and incidentally discovered that he was the first doctor in the United States to provide non-surgical spinal decompression to patients. As I expected, my treatment was successful as it had been for the vast majority of my past patients too.My other experiences are via my patients from my past practice providing this treatment and over the last several years in my current practice, patients whom I have referred when their progress plateaud from standard chiropractic care. I always refer for an MRI first to confirm or deny the presence of bulging discs and once confirmed, Dr. Wootton is my go to consistently providing superior care, giving these patients the last bit of recovery from injuries that were interfered with by bulging discs.While spinal decompression may not be the answer for everyone, it is an extremely effective treatment in reducing or eliminating herniated, protruding or bulging discs as evidenced in thousands of peer-reviewed cases and of course the anecdotal evidence of many patients. It is interesting to note that a review or two have stated that you can get cheap devices to do the same thing which is wholly inaccurate and can in no way compare to the medical device (invented in 1985 by Dr. Allan Dyer, PhD, MD a medical researcher and Minister of Health Care for Canada). Most alternatives are traction oriented, prescriptions or surgery. If you are uncertain whether this type of treatment is for you, I encourage looking at scholarly articles on Google Scholar and do a thorough search of the comparisons between non-surgical spinal decompression, standard traction, prescriptions or surgery. I realize some will think I am biased and in some ways I am because of my background in helping hundreds of patients avoid surgery and also as a patient having avoided surgery for my bulging disc. I encourage any patient dealing with herniated or bulging discs to consider this treatment before considering surgery and prolonging their pain.“
“I am in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy, and I was experiencing extreme SI joint pain. The pain was gone after my first visit with Dr. Cook. She takes her time and she is gentle but effective.“
“I've had neck, back and ankle problems for years and finally decided to find me a chiropractor here in Memphis as it had been over 15 years since I last had an adjustment. The difference is amazing. Dr. Reed pinpointed the areas that were out of whack and has been putting them back in place. He is the best chiropractor I've been to and I've had chiropractors in LA and SLC but Dr. Reed is the best. I wouldn't trade him for anything.“
