See what people are saying about Spinal Decompression:
Returning to a healthy, active lifestyle after several years of relentless low back pain and
increasing immobility has been life-changing. Spinal decompression has allowed me to be pain-free without medication throughout my day - sitting, standing, moving, even playing with my grandchild. Non-invasive and incredibly comfortable from the first relief-giving pull, these treatments have not only changed the way I feel, they have changed the way I think about my future. Thank you, Dr. Josh and Dr. Seth at Cafe of Life!
-Anita Feildman, Mill Valley
"I am writing this letter to thank you for the renewed lease on life that I have received from the Café of Life and your Spinal Decompression machine and your Pilates department. As you are both aware, I had suffered from repeated bouts of back spasms over the 3 years before I came to you. I had an average of three debilitating episodes per year with each one lasting for 3 weeks or more. My career was on the line. As a remodeling contractor I cannot work without a healthy back and each episode was extremely costly to me and my company.
After repeated trips to my general practitioner MD for back pain meds and rehab, I thought I should give chiropractic treatment a try. I came to you in pain during a repeat occurrence and you got me stable and pain free (without drugs!) in less time than I thought possible. Your Pilates instructors helped me to strengthen my core to support my back and got me pain free again. However, I believe it was the spinal decompression machine that made me whole again.
After I received an MRI showing 2 herniated discs in my low back, I thought that my days as a contractor were numbered. Thanks to your spinal decompression machine, I no longer believe that is true. Since completing my treatment I feel 20 years younger and, perhaps to my detriment, have treated my body thusly. However, I am happy to report that although I have been carrying weights that I haven’t touched since my 20’s and generally mistreating my body as I did when I was much younger, my back feels solid and strong and I have not had even the slightest tingle of pain. This is astounding since I believed I would never be this vigorous at work again, and I absolutely love what I do.
I sincerely thank you both for saving me from a lifetime of pain and for giving me back my youth. I was not ready to give up running, climbing or my career to a stupid back injury. Your spinal decompression therapy ended that pain and I believe it will someday be as commonplace as Lasik surgery. Until that day comes, Godspeed to you in your efforts to spread the good word about spinal decompression therapy. I will continue to do whatever I can to let others know of this wonderful new treatment."

"My 39th birthday is coming up and I cannot tell you how happy I am! I can’t remember the last time my back was without pain. 23 years ago I broke my tail bone in four places while hiking. Then 5 years later got into a car accident that wrecked the rest of my back, resulting in extraordinary pain that never went away. Chiropractic has helped throughout the years, but in the past 3 years the pain had become unbearable. I was told that my options were surgery or pain pills forever. Neither one appealed to me. My Mother has had many operations and they never completely fix the problem. Pills – we won’t even go there! I live a block from the grocery store but have had to drive because I couldn’t carry the groceries. I have not been able to bounce on the trampoline, hike, bike, and swim or even play with my daughter because I couldn’t bend, walk or stand for more than 20 minutes. I weighed more than I did when I was pregnant! It was frustrating and I had almost convinced myself that this was how it was going to be. Earlier this year my back was in a particularly bad spasm, my friend said I HAD to see you. She called and you saw me that day. You gave me an adjustment and a prescription for an MRI. Once I saw how truly bad my back was on X-Ray I felt that I had nothing to lose in trying decompression. After 3 sessions a week for about 3 months, I am a new woman! I am hiking, biking, going to the gym, swimming and going back to karate! I have lost over 30 pounds and have never felt better! I haven’t been back to see you after my treatment ended – nothing personal! – and it has been 2 ½ months. You changed my life and I will tell anyone who will listen. THANK YOU DR. SETH, “ANGEL” (THE DECOMPRESSION MACHINE), ALL OF THE MASSAGE THERAPISTS, AND THE CAFÉ OF LIFE CREW!!!"

"For years, my low back pain prevented me from doing the things I enjoyed in life. Thanks to Spinal Decompression, I can now go out to watch a movie, to go out dancing, to do whatever I want without having to have to worry about my low back pain. Thank you for giving me my life back."
"I injured my back doing construction. Rather than collect disability, I was constantly taking pain killers and anti inflammatory drugs so I could continue working on the job. When I saw the ad for treating back pain with Spinal Decompression system, I was skeptical at first, but curious. I decided to give it a try and to my surprise, it worked like nothing I had ever tried before. After just one month of treatment, I felt stronger than I had in years and had the joy of throwing away all of those painkilling drugs. One of the happiest days in my life is when I discovered there was something that could cure my back pain. That something was your Spinal Decompression. I cannot thank you enough for helping me and my family."

"When I first started treatment with Spinal Decompression, the only thing I was sure of, was that I could barely walk, sit, or stand. After going through 4 weeks of treatment the pain has slowly gone away. Today, I feel the I am 95% better thanks to Spinal Decompression."

"I have been in pain for 13 years, since I fell down a flight of stairs. After three surgeries and many types of treatments, I learned to live with my pain. Then I heard about this new machine that treats herniated discs without surgery. Skeptical at first, having nothing to lose, I started treatments on Spinal Decompression. On about the third treatment I began to feel some relief. After completing 15 treatments, I am able to get up in the morning and get dressed with no pain."
—Mary C.
"After having an MRI on my back, I was diagnosed having two herniated discs. The pain was like a knife jabbing my in my buttock down to my leg. My whole quality of life changed, not being able to escape the disabling pain. After cortisone epidurals in my spine my doctor told me, that I was facing surgery on my back. Then I found a clinic with Spinal Decompression an hour from my home. Today, I am pain free and feel like I have a second chance on life."
