The really good news is that this is not a treatment you have to continue for the rest of your life in most cases. “I had 15 epidurals over the course of 10 years for my back and sciatic pain. Since using the DRX9000, I have been pain free for months…Years ago I had surgery on my neck for the same problems and after comparing the two, I truly feel this machine could be the end to back surgery!!!” —MaryAnneS.,Bloomingdale,NJ— – Mary Anne S. – “I didn’t think I was going to be able to walk down the aisle at my own wedding the pain was so bad… Miraculously, not only did I walk down the aisle, I was able to dance all night pain free!!!” —AlyciaB.,Paterson,NJ— “I am an avid tennis player and I try to play at least four times a week. Because of my disc herniations, I had to stop playing altogether…I was becoming very depressed so I started trying all types of treatments, but chiropractic, physical therapy and medications didn’t help. I found Dr. Wolf through the newspaper and decided to give his program a try. I could not be happier. Not only am I back to playing tennis, but I have started running again. I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am. If you have a herniated disc you have to try this miracle machine!!!” —RubenK.,Mahwah,NJ— “I suffered with back and sciatic pain for more than five years…I have been receiving epidurals and nerve blocks for the last year and a half…Previously I had tried chiropractic, physical therapy and acupuncture.
