This is my experience with
the SPINAL DISC REHAB – Health
Therapies Clinic
In Bangkok:
In July 2007, I visited an
International Hospital to
undertake a ‘Wellness Program’
I was 59 years of age and
thought that it was prudent to
have an in-depth check-up. At
the same time, I complained
about the pains in my neck and
my left arm that I had suffered
for almost three years. It was
recommended that I have an X-Ray
of the neck and subsequently it
was found necessary to have an
MRI Scan.
The result of the MRI showed
three herniated discs, one
pressing onto the spinal cord.
Surgery to the neck was then
recommended to decompress the
vertebrae and allow the discs to
re-inflate.
The prospect of surgery was for
me quite scary A few days later,
I happened to see a Newspaper
advertisement for the HEALTH
THERAPIES CLINIC.
On my first visit to the clinic,
the doctor examined the MRI scan
and decided that although mine
was the most serious condition
he had seen, it was not beyond
his scope. I then submitted to
treatment pivotal to the concept
of ‘Spinal Decompression’. This
involves a special table with a
traction device at one end. The
patient lies down with the neck
(or other part of the spine)
held by the traction unit that
is controlled by a computer.
In essence, the spine is gently
pulled so that the vertebrae
open slightly which allows, over
a period, the discs to
rehabilitate.
As mine was a complicated case,
I knew that the process was
going to take a longer time than
most. As I was working away on a
6 weeks on/off rotation, it took
even longer. During the 6 weeks
home in Thailand, I attended the
clinic 5 days per week,
sometimes twice per day.
There is no quick fix. Please no
not equate this process with
special massages and the like.
This is a highly technical and
specialized procedure costing a
fortune in the USA.
Dr.Von and his staff are highly
skilled and you can put yourself
into their hands without the
slightest doubt. The
decompression procedure is
completely painless and
non-invasive. In fact I quite
often went to sleep during the
process!
After a few months, I had a
second MRI scan that showed a
marked improvement, particularly
in that the disc that originally
pressed against the spine had
already receded.
At the end of about 8 months,
including my 6 week work period,
I was completely pain free and
have, at the time of writing,
been completely pain-free for
the last five months.
Now I attend the clinic for a
few days before and after work
to for ‘maintenance only’.
Coupled with that, there are set
exercises to be done on a daily
basis.
I can whole heartedly recommend
the clinic and thanks to Dr.Von
and his highly professional
team, I am able to continue my
working life without pain and
without the risks of surgery.

"After suffering lower
back pain and sciatica for
several years I was considering
having surgery until I saw the
advert for Health Therapies in a
local magazine and went to take
a look and speak with Dr Von. To
say it was a life changing
experience is not far from the
truth. A month worth of
intensive treatment due to my
own time constraints and my life
was transformed. I can now play
with my kids again, I am not
afraid to pick them up as I was
for a long time. I have more
energy and can sleep much better
at nights and no longer have to
crawl out of bed in a morning.
My wife is also happy with the
change in my physical condition
for obvious reasons. I would say
if you are in any doubts as to
what is possible, just go along
to the practice and spend a
short time talking through your
problems and you too might be on
your way to a life changing
treatment!"
