               Patient Feedback on their Lordex Experience:

“Before I started the Lordex treatments I was in constant severe pain.  My right foot was numb and I had stabbing pain in my buttocks and right leg.  I was unable to stand, sit or drive; and had trouble sleeping.  I saw an orthopedist who scheduled me for surgery, and a chiropractor who said my lumbar disc was so bad he would not touch it.  I heard about the Lordex Program from my mom and decided to give it a try.  After 10 treatments, I was 80% better, and now that I completed the program, I am completely pain-free!  I am very thankful I did not go through with the surgery.  I recommend the Lordex treatments to anyone as an alternative to surgery."   Susan H., 36

Two years ago, Larry was riding his bike, hit by a car and thrown 50 feet. He suffered severe low back pain and radiating leg pain for more than one year. Following Larry’s fourth Lordex treatment, all leg pain was gone. By the sixth treatment, most of his back pain. "I’m now focused on strengthening my back with the Lordex Home Exercise unit. It’s incredible how much better I feel without the pain."   Larry P., 39

Shortly after his 49th birthday, David suffered a herniated disc and had severe pain down his legs as well as back. Walking, sleeping and the most routine of events became major obstacles. After his ninth Lordex treatment, David’s leg pain had been resolved and his back pain greatly diminished. At the end of the treatment cycle, David’s back is now stronger than it’s ever been. "10 years ago I had back surgery at L4-5. It took over a year to recuperate. The Lordex experience was fast, with so much less trauma."  David B., 49

Even with two growing children in tow, leading an athletic, outdoor lifestyle was Angela’s style. Until severe leg and lower back pain stopped her in her tracks. After three Lordex procedures, Angela’s pain had almost disappeared, and after five procedures, she felt like herself again. "There’s nothing worse than that stabbing pain when your back goes into spasm. It’s scary. Lordex helps strengthen my back so that doesn’t happen anymore."  Angela J., 37

Without the Lordex treatment, I would have probably needed back surgery.  I was in agony, with a herniated disc and extreme pain down my left leg.  Now I’m pain-free and able to perform everyday tasks again.  The service in Dr. Therkelsen’s office is excellent!  Janet C., 48

After months of suffering with lower back pain and consultations with orthopedists, I had decided to proceed with back surgery.  On the day before I was to report for pre-admission testing, a friend persuaded me to contact the Lordex Spine Institute.  I must admit that it was probably the best phone call I ever made.  I cancelled my surgery, went through the Lordex Program, and now my back pain is completely gone.  You cannot argue with results.  The knowledge, professionalism, and treatment at the center are only surpassed by the friendliness of the staff.  It is without hesitation that I strongly recommend the Lordex Spine Institute.

What Doctors Have To Say About Lordex

"The Lordex procedure combines a unique decompression of the Lumbar Spine at specific targeted segments, while simultaneously introducing strength restoration therapy to improve function and stabilize the spine.  Patients experiencing severe debilitating pain can potentially avoid surgery with Lordex Treatment. Post-operative patients can likewise benefit from introduction of kinetic activity, improved strength, decompression and stretching of scar tissue.  Lordex may be the answer for problems that simply can’t be resolved with medication or physical therapy. Lordex works and is satisfying to see patients respond who otherwise have little hope. "  
- Stan Jones, M.D., Orthopedic Surgeon

"As an Orthopedic Surgeon, I was somewhat skeptical until I actually tried the Lordex procedure for my own herniated disc. I was nothing short of impressed with the outcome. I now routinely recommend the procedure for both acute and chronic low back pain patients. Lordex makes sense and should be included in all practices that manage low back pain patients."
- Stephen Weiss, M.D., Orthopedic Surgeon

"Over the years, I’ve had tremendous success managing low back pain patients with the Lordex Lumbar Spine System. Just because a patient does not qualify for spine surgery, doesn’t mean they don’t need treatment. My treatment of choice has been Lordex. The Lordex decompression and strengthening program is compatible with virtually all mechanical spine pathology."
