Tom's Journey: Overcoming Disc Herniation Pain Non-Surgically with SoftWave Therapy & Chiropractic Combined!


Meet Tom, a determined individual who arrived at Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness in North Chili, NY with a MRI diagnosed L4/L5 severe disc herniation, causing him immense pain and impacting his daily life. Simple tasks, like getting out of bed or enjoying a game of golf, had become distant memories for him. Tom experienced lower back pain, left glute pain, and troubling numbness and tingling sensations radiating down his leg due to the severity of his condition.

Under the care of Dr. Sam and Dr. Edwin, Tom embarked on a comprehensive treatment plan that combined chiropractic care and SoftWave Therapy. During his initial SoftWave Therapy session, Tom immediately noticed improvements in his back, glute, and leg pain, as well as the numbness and tingling. The following morning, he experienced an enhanced ability to get out of bed, a small victory that brought hope.

Determined to regain his quality of life, Tom committed to a series of eight SoftWave Therapy sessions. With each visit, he experienced progressive improvements in his pain and the troubling numbness and tingling sensations. However, the breakthrough came when Dr. Sam acquired the state-of-the-art Hill AUTO Flexion Distraction decompression tables. Driven by a desire to provide the best possible care, Dr. Edwin employed a disc herniation protocol using this new technology to alleviate the pressure on the affected nerve root.

Tom's joy knew no bounds when he exclaimed, "I haven't felt this good in four months!" The very next day, he eagerly sent Dr. Sam and Dr. Edwin a heartfelt text expressing his gratitude and excitement for the combined effects of SoftWave Therapy and AUTO Flexion Distraction Decompression therapy on his disc herniation.


What's truly remarkable is that Tom's progress has been so significant that, during his surgical spine consultation, he and his doctor mutually decided to postpone surgery unless it becomes absolutely necessary. The remarkable improvements Tom has achieved with chiropractic care and SoftWave Therapy at Camarata Chiropractic have given him newfound hope and optimism for his future.
