After dealing with degenerative spinal disease pain for over seven years, I was most intrigued by decompression as discussed by Dr. Kouimanis in a circular included in the Post-Tribune. Dr. Kouimanis' outline of decompression for treatment of this spinal problem, which caused sharp painful shooting pains down the legs, could bring effective relief.
After several treatments it was evident to me that it was actually eliminating this leg pain, thus greatly reducing the need for pain medication and often no need for medication. Due to age and length of time with this physical problem, along with osteoarthritis of the back, I have been able to achieve gratifying results.
I would heartily recommend the decompression plan of treatment for anyone with degenerative spinal disc disease. - Mary Ellen D.
I have had back problems for many years. The last 7-8 years becoming progressively worse with pain down my left leg (sometimes both legs). I tried several different treatments, with little results.
About the first part of May 2008, I received a flyer in the newspaper from Dr. Kouimanis' office, explaining how the DRS System works and it sounded like something that might help me! I called for an appointment and Dr. Kouimanis showed me on the MRI's that I brought with me, what he thought was causing much of my pain and what he would like to do about it.
After he examined me, he suggested a series of treatments, which began on May 5th, 2008. At first I was skeptical (nothing else seemed to work), but after about 2 � weeks of treatments I began to see improvement! A couple of weeks later, I became a believer! The pain down my left leg was gone! I continue to do the exercises and ice, when needed. Many thanks to Dr. Kouimanis and his "girls" (Angie & Kelly) for always encouraging me to stay positive and keep working to reach my goal! Thanks a lot! - Larry P.
