Dr. Arthur H. Malkin Chiropractor Torrance CA 90501

"I was suffering from stiffness in my pinkie finger, ringer finger and right wrist, a burning sensation in my right forearm, the back of my hand felt itchy all the time, to the point where I almost scratched my skin off. I had weakness in my right shoulder. I originally went to see my family physician and my x-ray showed a severe curvature in neck and was diagnosed with a degenerated disc in my neck. My physician prescribed 10 physical therapy sessions, in which I received hot packs, was shown stretching exercise and received 30 minutes of traction. It did relieve some of the pain, but I still had the burning sensation in my forearm and stiffness in my fingers. I was offered more physical therapy or a cortisone injection into the affected area (spinal). I hear a radio advertisement for spinal decompression and did further investigation of the internet. I decided to give it a try and avoid the cortisone injection. After the consultation, the prescribed plan was for 10 treatments. After only 2 treatments, I was feeling better. The burning sessions in my forearm disappeared and after 4 treatments all of the stiffness and other symptoms subsided. With one last treatment, I can say that spinal decompression saved me from an unnecessary procedure."

"When I first came to you in September, I was experiencing tingling and numbing in my right arm and hand, especially after sitting at a computer. An MRI showed that I had a bulging disc of about 5mm at C-5 and C-6 and X-rays showed a narrowing of disc space at C6 and C7. My doctor wanted to sent me to a Neurosurgeon to see about surgery or if I didn't want surgery, to send me to a doctor who would give me injections to deal with the tingling and numbness. He was skeptical of spinal decompression doing any good. However, after a couple of weeks of spinal decompression and gentle spinal adjustments, the tingling and numbing was reduced significantly. By the middle of November, after an average of two spinal decompression treatments a week, about 98 percent of my symptoms were gone, with only an occasional very light buzzing or electrical feeing that sometimes occurred in my left wrist. This went away after a few weeks and seemed to move to the tip of my right thumb on occasion. Since January, I have been receiving two spinal decompression treatments a month, and now I feel even better than before the numbing and tingling ever started. I have had neck problems for years, needing treatment for stiffness and headaches, but these too have lessened with this treatment. Thanks again for your care, and thank you for helping me stay away from the surgeon's knife!"
