I have had chronic back pain for forty-five years. My first injury was in 1965. After weeks of suffering, I visited my M.D. who prescribed bed rest and a muscle relaxer. After a week of this treatment I did feel somewhat relieved. However, shortly thereafter my back acted up again. In 1976 I had my first back surgery caused from a slipped disc at L5-S1 which resulted in a partial laminectomy. After a period of recovery I was able to return to work with limitations. Over the next twelve years and in and out of three different chiropractors I finally had to succumb to my next back surgery. In 1988 I had to undergo the removal of scar tissue from my previous surgery to eliminate chronic pain in my lower back, right leg, and foot. During the next twenty two years I continued to have chronic pain off and on (mostly on) and visited yet another three chiropractors to seek relief. On May 14th, 2010 I was involved in a car accident. My car was hit in the rear spinning me around. Dazed, not realizing what just happened, I started with neck, lower back, right hip, leg, and foot pain. Discouraged, I thought of visiting with a neurologist and contacted my primary M.D. After a consultation with the nurse practitioner, I was given a referral to visit one. Thinking about the battery of tests and prescription drugs I may have to go through, I became discouraged. Meanwhile, my wife answered an ad in our local newspaper for Dr. John Sottile and HealthSource and was extremely pleased with his approach. On August 4th, 2010 I made an appointment with Dr. Sottile. He listened to me and suggested I have an MRI. My next visit, Dr. Sottile developed a strategy and told me that he felt he would be able to help me with my chronic pain. My therapy consisted of treatments using the State of the Art DRX9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment, HydroMassage Bed, gentle massage, and adjustments. Appointments are extremely accommodating to your busy schedule and you are not waiting long in the office before being seen. Dr. Sottile and his staff have exceeded my expectations and certainly deserve my testimonial. I cant believe I am living with little to no pain. I cant remember when Ive felt this good. I am now going for regular physical therapy and will continue to do so. Oh, by the way, this is the first time I have done this for anyone.

I was referred to Dr. Sottile by a family member after a severe neck and shoulder injury. This injury made me incapable of even putting my own shoes on. Swelling of these muscles led to a pinched nerve which led to pain, numbness and a tingling sensation that went all the way to my fingertips. Sleep was next to impossible as normal shifting would cause sharp pain that would wake me immediately. After 4-5 rapidly severing pain I made an appointment to see Dr. Sottile and his team at Allied Spine Center. No time was wasted evaluating my injuries and I was made as comfortable as possible by everyone. The extent treatment for my injury forced me to take time off work, however after a few treatments I was sleeping full nights and shortly after that I was able to care for myself once again. Thanks to Dr. Sottiles technique and the impressive collection of chiropractic technology, and the formation of an unbeatable team, I feel better than I have in years, and I would recommend Allied Spine Center to anyone.

I hurt my back at work and the next day I couldnt stand up. I went to my doctor. He took some x-rays and found I had some inflammation. I went to another chiropractor and he tried to adjust me and it was very painful and I was worse. My husband had great success with Dr. Sottile so I decided to try it. Dr. Sottile sent me for a MRI and it showed that I had two herniated discs. Dr. Sottile recommended I try the DRX9000. I was very nervous but everyone made me feel comfortable and the treatments were relaxing and didnt hurt at all. After completing the spinal decompression I feel great and amazed at how different my life is because of it. I an now do whatever I want without pain. Thank you, Dr. Sottile and staff!

Frequent lower back pain has restricted many of the activities I enjoy, most of all golf. This pain restricted my movement and caused serious pain that altered my golf game and sometimes disallowed it. Dr. Sottile introduced me to a machine that has increased my flexibility and in conjunction with the other therapies he offers has produced amazing results. I move easier and my daily activities are much easier. Dr. Sottile and his staff have extended the best quality care I have received in over 25 years. Im truly thankful to Dr. Sottile and his staff for improving my quality of life.

I had lower back pain and was seeing another chiropractor for treatments which didnt work for me. I read an article about the DRX9000 machine and talked with Dr. Sottile about the pain (I could barely walk). So I started the treatments and his office staff where very good at explaining everything that was going to happen on the DRX9000. I began feeling better after the fourth week of treatment. Now I am done treating and I feel so much better.

Dr Sottile has helped me for over 2 years now. My lateral scoliosis coupled with severe degeneration (arthritis) has caused additional pain to my lower back. Dr. Sottile assured me that my condition isnt curable (scoliosis) but that he thought he could decrease the pain. He has! His office is run very efficiently and I am very pleased with the results. I highly recommend this treatment for anyone with lower back problems.

I experienced significant discomfort in my lower back. I hoped it would just go away, but it didnt. I had almost had given up hope when I tried a new treatment offered by Dr. Sottile. Since then I have been pain free and my recommendation is that if you suffer from low back pain dont put up with it, let Dr. Sottile and his staff help you!
