“Standing Tall”
For many years I had suffered with a very stiff and sore neck. I had great difficulty turning my head to the right and found myself turning my whole body to look at something. I also had a hump on the back of my neck that caused my neck to hang down and forward. I even had trouble with memory loss. I had previously been receiving chiropractic treatments from Dr. Waggoner when he told me about decompression therapy. He spoke very highly of the treatment and its great success so I decided to give it a try. I have experienced wonderful results! My memory is much better, I no longer have any pain in my neck, and my hump is nearly gone! The nurse at the Northern Indiana Back Institute did a great job with my care. I was so relaxed during each treatment I often fell asleep! After receiving decompression therapy my daily work is much easier! I would advise everyone to try decompression therapy if they are a candidate. It works!

“Simply Amazing”
Being a young mother, I had great difficulty taking care of my children and finishing housework due to the amount of pain I was previously experiencing in my low back, shoulders, and neck. I suffered from severe headaches that made it difficult to be happy, enjoy life, and enjoy my children. I had previously tried deep tissue massages and chiropractic adjustments, but however had only temporary relief. I then heard about Decompression Therapy and decided to attend the Northern Indiana Back Institute’s Free Decompression Seminar they hold once a month. The meeting was very informative and from my x-rays it was clearly evident I needed decompression therapy!
After finishing my treatments on my neck and low back I feel AMAZING! My head feels lighter, I can think clearer, and I don’t have any low back pain! I can play with my children on the floor again and finish housework without pain! I would recommend decompression therapy to anyone inquiring because it is simply incredible! The staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is very friendly and always tried to do what they could to make me comfortable. Don’t sit around with pain anymore!! I encourage anyone in pain to schedule a free consultation or attend one of their free monthly seminars! It works!

“Better Life With Less Pain!”
I was convinced to try decompression therapy when I began to notice that I was unable to turn my neck to the side very far, making it difficult to see safely while backing out of a parking space. I had previously been to a chiropractor for years regarding my neck, which helped quite a bit, however the pain continued to linger. I decided to give decompression therapy a try! After receiving the treatments, I can now turn my neck from side to side without having to turn my whole body. I am also free to do everyday tasks and not have pain in my neck! The staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is very friendly and helpful! Decompression therapy has really helped me have a better life with less pain. I can enjoy doing activities again!

“Enjoying gardening again!”
After years of neck pain I was tired of not being able to sleep comfortably in bed or turn my neck from side to side. I had previously been to a chiropractor and found some relief, but still had quite a bit of pain. Someone recommended decompression therapy to me, so I decided to give it a try. My results are amazing! It is so wonderful to be able to move and sleep without pain! The staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is so kind, friendly, and very helpful. I am now able to finish all my household duties and gardening is a lot more fun and easier! I am pain free! Thank you! I would tell anyone with back or neck pain to try decompression therapy. Don’t wait too long! It sure beats surgery!

“No pain and thinking clearly!”
After suffering from neck pain and upper back pain for 10-15 years, I felt so horrible and depressed. Everyday I experienced headaches, dizziness, and sometimes even vomiting. I wasn’t able to do my own work anymore and found it very difficult to think or focus. I wasn’t able to be a mom for my family of which was very hard for me. I went to Goshen Hospital for a Cat-Scan and went to three different chiropractors and none of them could tell me what was wrong. I finally decided I would just have to live with the pain.
I then heard of decompression therapy and decided to try it out because I had nothing else to lose. I feel as though this treatment is the GREATEST thing I have ever done for myself. I can think more clearly, actually sleep all night, and wake up in the morning and feel like a new person! I can also go on my daily walks again, ride my bike, and sew without pain! I have energy that I haven’t had for years! It has given me life again! The staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is wonderful and caring. They all do a great job and I couldn’t have asked for better assistance. A big THANK YOU to all of you! I would encourage anyone who is in pain to give decompression therapy a try, it is well worth it!

Current Update and Maintenance Care
…A final update on my on-going success with decompression therapy. I thought I would share a little about some of the activities that I have recently been doing. In August I went to an annual golf outing and was able to play 108 holes of golf in three and a half days, completely pain free without even taking any Aspirin! Recently I closed my swimming pool myself and had a great time going to the Elkhart County Fair, the Blueberry Festival, and the Venetian Festival. I was able to stand, walk, and enjoy the things that I used to take for granted. This may not seem like much to most people, but if you suffered as I did for so many years, it has been fantastic!
Currently I am doing maintenance care on my low back and have recently started decompression therapy on my neck. I am looking forward to a successful outcome and pain free lifestyle! I would like to take time to thank the staff for their care and professionalism that they have shown me!

“Pain free and loving it!”
For many years I had suffered with a very stiff and sore neck. I had great difficulty turning my head to the right and found myself turning my whole body to look at something.

Before beginning Decompression Therapy with the Northern Indiana Back Institute I was always in pain and unable to stand up straight from a sitting position. Pain caused everyday tasks to become extremely difficult, such as vacuuming. I also love playing golf and retrieving the golf ball from the hole was a very hard thing for me to do. I had previously tried sacroiliac shots and regular chiropractic adjustments, but found no relief in either of those treatments.
My overall impression of the results I have experienced with Decompression therapy at the Northern Indiana Back Institute are very favorable. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. They are very well trained and efficient. After completing Decompression Therapy, I am now able to get out of a car or off a chair and stand up straight pain free. I have also improved my golf game and find it much easier to finish a full round of golf. If someone was inquiring about Decompression Therapy I would say seriously consider the treatments! They have really helped me and it’s like you’re a new person when you are finally pain free!

For a long time I had been experiencing pain in my lower back and down my legs. It was very hard to do most of my daily activities due to the pain. It was even hard to finish house work because of the pain in my legs. Falling asleep and staying asleep was also very difficult. I tried chiropractic treatments, pain pills, and cortisone shots, but nothing seemed to relieve the pain.
Decompression Therapy with the Northern Indiana Back Institute has helped me so much! I am sleeping better and am pain free! The staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is very good. I felt like they really wanted me to feel better. The Nurses that care for you are very friendly and really do want you to get better! After completing Decompression Therapy I am now able to complete my house work, walk farther and for longer periods of time, and go shopping pain free! I have told many friends about the help I have received because I feel so good! I would say to anyone give decompression a try! You owe it to yourself to feel better. I would very much recommend Decompression Therapy. It really does help!

I forgot what life was like without pain, due to the severe pain in my low back and legs over the years. I had a difficult time trying to sit down because of the pain and was unable to lie in bed at night. I had no social life because I didn’t want anyone to see how much pain I was in and how badly it affected my everyday life. I continued to work, but found it very hard daily to keep going. My moods were terrible and I always found myself angry, depressed, or upset about anything and everything.
I went to my family doctor in search for pain relief. He prescribed pain pills, which I faithfully took everyday for five years. Eventually, the pain pills did not even touch my pain. So, I then decided to try cortisone shots. I had a series of three shots and had temporary relief, but the pain slowly came back. I was at a loss. I had no idea what to do next because I did not want to have surgery.
One day I saw an ad in the paper advertising decompression therapy, I quickly made a call to check it out and found myself in the office of The Northern Indiana Back Institute shortly there after. I was desperate to try anything, so I gave decompression therapy a try. I have not regretted it since! I have NO PAIN and finally simply happy to be alive. My moods are better, my attitude is better, and every day just keeps getting better and better!
My overall impression of the Northern Indiana Back Institute is excellent. Not only is the staff very friendly, kind, and caring, but truly care about you as a person and are willing to take the time to listen. The staff helped me get through this difficult time emotionally and physically! I am now walking better than I ever have, WITHOUT my cane. I am standing straight and now able to look my wife square in the eyes, whereas I couldn’t before! I am able to sit down at my job and able to sit in the car all day when traveling with no pain! For someone inquiring about decompression therapy I would definitely say, try it. You will truly be happy with the results and not regret it one bit!

For the past 40 years I have suffered with chronic back pain, which became increasingly worse within the last 10 years causing severe pain. I felt as though I wouldn’t ever live without pain. I know I was more irritable due to the pain. It was constant and always on my mind. Some nights I hardly ever slept at all. I had previously had chiropractic treatments on my back for the past 15 years, which would help for a couple of days; however the pain would always come back. Upon no relief from the previous chiropractor, I decided to see a spinal orthopedic doctor who recommended spinal injections. I had a series of three injections of which each injection provided about two weeks worth of relief, but the pain would always return. I began to worry about taking too many steroids and the effect it would have on my body. The spinal orthopedic doctor then recommended surgery, but I didn’t want to go down that path. The doctor then prescribed Percocet and Vicodin for the pain. The pain medicine didn’t even touch my pain. As a last resort, I decided to try spinal decompression therapy with the Northern Indiana Back Institute. Since decompression therapy was a fairly new procedure I was a little skeptical, but I thought it was worth a try. As soon as I finished my first treatment I began to feel some relief and it just kept getting better from there! It took some time and a lot of patience but it worked! The Northern Indiana Back Institute took plenty of time to review my x-rays and explain what needed to be done. The staff was very honest, friendly, and was always sympathetic to my pain.
I am now undergoing my maintenance program where I come every two weeks for a whole year. I can do more housework and more importantly can now play with my grandson! Now I am a much happier person because I don’t have to deal with or think about the pain. And with my maintenance program, I continue to get better and better all the time! I would highly recommend decompression therapy to anyone inquiring. The relief from pain is worth the cost. I am enjoying life more and more now!

For several years I have experienced severe pain in my low back and down my right leg. The pain I experienced affected every aspect of my life, from cleaning my house to playing with my grandchildren. I did not want to go out to do anything because I was embarrassed for others to see how much pain I was in. I started regularly visiting a chiropractor and taking heavy doses of pain medication for pain relief. Both helped, but neither one seemed to get rid of all the pain. I then heard about the Northern Indiana Back Institute and thought I would give Decompression Therapy a try.
After Decompression Therapy I feel fantastic! I can’t believe how great I feel and the things I can finally do again! I feel as though I have been given my life back and have been able to enjoy it even more. I got so used to the pain I thought I would never get better. But now I feel 20 years younger! The staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is terrific! Everyone says Hello and they always have a smile waiting for you. They really seem to care about how you feel too!
I am so excited that I can now work my job without pain and do housework without pain. I’m really looking forward to being able to do some yard work this summer! My favorite part about being pain free is being able to keep up with and play with my grandchildren again! I would tell anyone interested in Decompression Therapy to go for it! Don’t put off enjoying life without pain any longer! The money and the time I put into Decompression therapy was definitely worth it!

I am more than pleased with the results that I received from Decompression Therapy at the Northern Indiana Back Institute! I had previously been experiencing chronic low back pain, as well as pain down my left leg. I often had to sit down to ease the pain in my back. I was so tired of the constant pain that I had a series of three cortisone injections in my low back, but had no results from the procedure. So I decided to try decompression Therapy. I have found the staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute to be very honest, friendly, and professional. With the wonderful results I have received from Decompression Therapy, I can now stand on my feet for longer periods of time without pain! I would highly recommend Decompression Therapy to anyone with low back or neck pain!

Before discovering decompression therapy I had numbness in my legs, a constant dull ache in my low back, and debilitating low back and leg pain that made me unable to perform my job or even live my life. The pain symptoms I experienced daily limited my job performance and caused me to withdraw from personal relationships and activities. I was drawn to any type of treatment that would hopefully alleviate the pain. I tried cortisone injections into my disc, physical therapy, and lots of pain medicine, but found only temporary relief.
The one word that I would use to describe my experience with the Northern Indiana Back Institute is “miraculous”! I had begun to think that I would have to live out the rest of my life with terrible debilitating pain, as surgeons said I was not a surgical candidate, yet I was in extreme pain! The staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is very professional, well educated, kind, caring, and completely wonderful!
After completing decompression therapy, I can finally work out again without pain, I can work all day as a hairdresser with no pain, I can actually go out to dinner, and I can sit for longer periods without having to get up and walk around every 15 minutes because of the pain! To anyone who is inquiring about decompression therapy with the Northern Indiana Back Institute I would simply say avoid everything that provides only temporary relief and go and do what works best: Decompression Therapy!

Life presents many challenges to each and every person. For years, I have dealt with low back and leg pain. I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease in the Lumbar region 15 years ago. Since then I have been on a journey seeking multiple remedies in an effort to avoid back surgery.
I’ve tried countless pain management procedures, including, spinal injections, medications, TENS unit, physical therapy, all with little or no results. I continued to be in severe pain that significantly limited my daily activities.
After visiting a local Chiropractor, Dr. Terrance Waggoner, he recommended me for Spinal Decompression treatments. I was pleasantly surprised that the treatments are painless and very relaxing. To my delight, I’m experiencing a return of flexibility, increased range of motion and marked decrease in back and leg pain.
I lead a very busy life and Spinal Decompression has positively impacted the quality of my life. A big thank you to Northern Indiana Back Institute.

After having arm & shoulder pain & numbness for several years, I was ready for relief. An MRI showed I had a herniated disc and also a bulging disc. Dr. Waggoner recommended Northern Indiana Back Institute to do cervical decompression treatments. After my treatment program, my hands and arms aren’t falling asleep or numb any longer. What a relief!! Now I can do my normal daily routine pain free. The Doctors and staff are very caring and friendly, doing everything they can to help you get better. I recommend this to anyone with neck problems!
~Alice Miller
If you are inquiring about decompression therapy with the Northern Indiana Back Institute I would say that it is better to do then being operated on. My overall impression of the results that I have experienced with the decompression therapy is good. My spine is straighter, I have no more sharp pain in my lower back, and all around feel great relief. The staff at Northern Indiana Back Institute is excellent! They are all very friendly, considerate, and helpful. Some activities that I can now do easier because of the relief I have experienced are walking, pedaling my bicycle, bending over without pain, and waking up restful from sleep.
~ Melvin Mullet
My overall impression of the results I have experienced with the decompression therapy at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is very positive. I had constant pain from two slipped discs in my lower back that caused sciatic pain to go down my right leg. After Decompression Therapy, I can now walk again without pain, cross my legs without pain, and sleep again without pain. Overall, I have a lot less aches and pains. The staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is very professional and well trained and they were able to answer all of my questions. If you are thinking about decompression therapy at Northern Indiana Back Institute, I say just do it! You will only improve your situation no matter what your problems are!

After dealing with chronic pain in my neck, shoulders, and hand for years, I decided to do something about it. My neck and shoulders were very painful and my hand would fall asleep constantly. I was unable to sleep lying down and had to sit up to sleep at night. I was also having a lot of difficulty gripping a pen or a pencil. I was first skeptical of decompression therapy, but decided to give it a try. I was amazed at my results! I no longer have neck, shoulder, or hand pain and my hand rarely ever falls asleep anymore. I can now sleep lying down and I have no pain when I write!
The staff at the Northern Indiana Back Institute is very professional and caring. I would highly recommend anyone to try decompression therapy. It can be uncomfortable at times and there may be times when it gets worse before it gets better, but it is definitely worth it!
~ Ronda Lambright
With numerous chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy treatments, I had no relief from my pain or headaches. I was unable to sleep in bed for a full night’s sleep due to the pain. I read about decompression therapy in the People’s Exchange and decided to call and get further information. After my free consultation, I decided to try it out, as I was desperate for pain relief.
I am so glad I went through with decompression therapy. I am now pain free and am finally able to sleep in bed all night. I no longer have numbness and tingling in my feet, I am able to walk normal again, and I can bend over without pain. For anyone interested in decompression therapy I would say, go for it! It helped me tremendously and I hope it helps you too!
