"I had pain in my sciatic, down my leg and went all the way down into my ankle. I wasn't able to sleep for more than an hour a night. I couldn't sleep for more than 10 minutes without any pain, and I only felt good when I exercised. [After spinal decompression], I can sleep through the night, I can sit for extended periods of time. I am feeling much better. Well it's works is the main thing, I don't know if I was skeptical but I was hopeful knowing that not everything is going to work, but it worked very well and I feel a lot better, and it was definitely worth while."

"When I first came in, I had a disk missing in my L4 and a disk pushing 5 millimeters into my spinal column and I was in severe leg pain to the point where I basically wanted to cut my leg off with a hacksaw it hurt so bad. Spinal decompression changed my life tremendously, actually took away a lot of the pain that I had and it was just a Godsend for me... made a big difference and brought me back to normal and live a normal life...Thank you."

"I had 3 weeks of severe pain in my lower back and legs, caused by sciatic nerve inflammation. The DRX 9000 reduced and eliminated pain, soreness and stiffness and improved mobility. Now I can drive, sit, walk, sleep and perform my physical therapy exercises without pain. I most assuredly would recommend my family and friends to their clinic!"

"I was in dire pain. I wasn't able to stand straight, I was doubled over and had a severe sciatic problem on my left buttock, down into my thigh, and feet. I was almost immobile, and in extreme pain. I read in the newspaper about decompression and have never heard of decompression, and thought what an answer to my prayer. It seemed to be the answer to be absolutely stretched, moving and getting my body straightened so that I wasn't going to have that sciatic pressure. Well it's kind of a miracle, in one months time with treatment I had help from Dr. Gladden I have become entirely well. I have no pain, I am walking with a cane because I have a distorted foot which makes my balance sometimes awkward, but I have no pain, am standing straight, and even feel taller than before. A happy woman am I. Well I would probably be the best advocate that you have; I definitely think that this is the answer to so many problems today."

"When I first came to see Dr. Hunter & Dr. Gladden, I had severe lower back pain, back spasms and leg pain. I was bedridden for almost 2 years and my kids couldn't understand why I couldn't get out of bed and play with them. I had two laminectomies before and I was still in excruciating pain. Spinal Decompression seemed like my last hope after two failed back surgeries. After my treatments, I had less pain in my entire back and my legs were less of a problem. I couldn't believe how much more stability and balance I had now! Today, I can walk without feeling that terrible pain and stiffness. I can sleep without cramps and actually get a full night's sleep, where I couldn't sleep through the night before because of the pain. I would recommend my family members and friends 100% to their clinic for the amazing Spinal Decompression treatment! The doctors and their entire staff are so friendly and helpful. Thank you Dr. Hunter & Dr. Gladden!"

"When I first went to their clinic, I had severe pain running down my right leg from the hip to the knee which forced me to use my cane. I wasn't able to do my walks which I previously enjoyed. Now, after Spinal Decompression treatments, I have NO pain. I can walk my dogs, work in my yard and work on my old car. I don't even have to use my cane anymore! I would recommend everyone with severe low back problems to their clinic!"

- Earl Rinehart, Simi Valley

"I was hoping this was the answer to my lower back pain problems.. There were times when my pain was so severe that I couldn't walk - I had to literary crawl to the restroom. Oh, I feel like I've been born again! I stand tall and straight, don't suffer from extended standing, and sitting and bending from the waist is painless. I can get up in the mornings without any pain to my lower back. I can bend over for extended periods of time without suffering that nagging lower back pain... The clinic is staffed with the most qualified personnel for every facet of their operation. Their facilities are set up for optimum performance."

"For the first time in almost thirty years of practice, I had to take an entire week off of work. At the time of my injury, I immediately remembered that Dr. Gladden had a machine that treated my problem instead of having back surgery. I saw her and her associate, Dr. Cathy Hunter, the very next day for a consultation regarding treatment with the machine, Spinal Decompression. Their evaluation and concern of my problem was very earnest and the overall treatment seemed quite logical. I started the next day. Over the next six weeks, I was treated very professionally and with great care by their knowledgeable staff. It has now been over five months since my injury and I have completely resumed my normal life style. I cannot praise and thank all of the doctors and staff at Superior Physical Medicine! I have referred several personal friends and patients to their office for treatment with Spinal Decompression and the excellent care which they all provide. I will certainly continue to praise and refer their services."

"I came here because I was in terrible pain and I couldn't move my head left and right. It was difficult driving when you can't turn around to look at the other traffic and it was difficult to go to sleep. That was the problem. I was feeling like I wanted to cut my head off. It felt like a very heavy bowling ball on top of my neck. [After cervical decompression/traction] I am doing a lot better and have more movement and getting asleep easier. So that is really helpful. I just loved coming here. [Now] I can actually turn around to see the traffic and I feel a lot safer."

        "Thank you for providing an atmosphere of calm and comfort while I was experiencing one of the most difficult physical issues of my life, an unbelievably painful back. Having been an athlete and a dancer my back had never given me any trouble before, so for me to have been in as much pain as I was when I was referred to you was rare. From the moment I sat down to explain how I was feeling and you went over my x-rays, that you had me take, I felt you cared, and spend the utmost time in explaining my choices of treatment.
        Once the treatment was agreed upon and started, I can honestly say I felt a continual progress. I know how important it is to follow the program, and I did follow the instructions faithfully. I wore the back brace given to me, as directed, and did the exercises required, as well as use the Big DRX machine that seemed to help me a lot. I'm sure that all of that combined has had a big impact on how quickly I have progressed.
        My life is beginning to pick up to my old self, and I want to thank you for your dedication and passion for your calling.
        Thank you too for your professional conduct as well as always being kind and cheerful.
        I don't want to forget to mention the staff that you have working at your clinic. Each time I am greeted with a friendly smile, compassion and positive attitude."

Thank You Sincerely,

-Lea Glaus Stevens, Simi Valley

"My life changed in the course of 24 hours. One day I was just fine. The next morning I could not stand; it was almost impossible to walk. The pain was excruciating. I called several medical offices and the only available appointments were weeks in the future. When I called Dr. Gladden's office I was instructed to come in immediately. From the moment I entered the facility I was treated with kindness. Within minutes of my initial consultation, Dr. Gladden arranged for me to have an MRI that afternoon...Within hours the intense pain that had me in tears was under control. The MRI results revealed a serious situation. Dr. Gladden thoroughly explained the nature of the injury and advised me of my treatment options. She informed me of the immense benefits which had been obtained with the DRX9000. Since I was opposed to surgery this was a welcome alternative. It was one of the very best decisions I have ever made. After only a few treatments I was able to walk with relative comfort. Along with the chiropractic and physical therapy treatments I am rapidly assuming the life I had before the injury. I am extremely grateful for the patience and kindness shown by everyone at Superior Physical Medicine. Without their professional assistance and guidance I would not be the happily recovering individual I am. Without hesitation or reservation I heartily recommend Dr. Gladden, the entire  staff, and the wonderful DRX9000 to anyone who suffers pain."

"When I finished my 20th [DRX 9000 non-surgical spinal decompression] session I was virtually pain free and as good as new. Now I feel pain free with my back in the healing process. The numbness/loss of feeling in my hand/arm has vanished. My ring and pinky fingers on my left hand are no longer curling in. I can sit, drive and move freely without any pain or soreness whatsoever. I am very happy that I selected the DRX9000 over traditional surgery as I in my case the treatment was a total success."

- John Kilcoyne, Simi Valley

"I first arrived I was having constant pain. I could barely walk, and, if I took a few steps my back would kill me and the pain would travel down my leg. And when I was sleeping, I really couldn't, because the pain was so excruciating and what ever movement I took in bed I could not find a comfortable spot where to sleep.
And since I've been coming here I have to say that I have improved tremendously. And I know I will not be 100% basically because of my age, which is 78, I know that when you're over the hill, you know. You're just not going to be 40 again or 30. But I am moving much better. I don't have the pain. And I am very happy that I listened to my husband who told me 'you're coming,' and having all of it done. And everybody here Dr. Gladden, Dr. Hunter, Dr. Young, and all of the assistants are tremendous, very helpful, very gracious, and very patient. So I recommend it to anyone who wants to come to this clinic. Let me tell you definitely be happy you did. You will not regret it, no matter what the cost, no matter how long it takes, but you will improve with every, every session you take."

- Catherine Bronchetti, Moorpark
