“I first came to this office in January of 2007 for the Lordex Spinal Decompression Procedure. I heard about the office from some information I received in the mail. I had stiffness and aching and was not able to exercise or engage in sports.  This began in 1985 while doing a job that involved heavy lifting. I frequently needed to lie on the floor to deal with the pain. Since completing the Lordex Spinal Decompression procedure, I no longer need to lie on the floor. I can sit for a while without any aching when I stand up. I also am now able to exercise.

“I had severe pain in my lower back down to my ankle that began over a year ago. I was treated by two orthopedic surgeons and physical therapy. None of their so called “treatments” brought any relief.  My husband saw an ad for a booklet on back pain. We sent for it and were impressed with Dr. Austrager’s message. I first came to Dr. Austrager’s office in December 2006. The results were more than I could ever hope for. I no longer need a cane or Tylenol. I can now walk with a smile rather that a pained look.  Thank you Doctor!”

“I had very bad sciatica and was unable to sleep and was in a lot of pain.  It had been bothering me for two weeks. I found an article in the Sunday paper and requested the information. I first visited the office in October 2006. After the second visit the pain was better.  Each treatment brought more improvement.  I am now pain free and able to sleep just fine. I could not be happier!”

“I have lower back pain that began after disc surgery in 2000. The pain was bad especially sitting in certain chairs and while driving. I had seen my orthopedist with no results. I saw a newspaper article and requested the information. I first came to the office in November 2006. The results have been excellent. I am virtually pain free. Sitting and getting out of chairs is not painful at all.”

“I have been to orthopedists for lower back pain and the sciatic pain down my leg. I had trouble standing any length of time without pain. I’ve tried anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers with only temporary relief of symptoms at best. Now, I no longer have low back pain or the shooting pains down my leg.”

“I was having sciatica after having back surgery 16 years ago. The sciatica came on rather suddenly. I was not looking forward to another surgery.  It was keeping me awake nights and causing severe chronic daily pain.  I saw an advertisement in the local paper and requested the information. I first came to the office in June 2006. Dr. Howard Austrager has been able to relieve the persistent sciatic nerve pain that certainly has changed my outlook on life. He also has been able to relieve my chronic elbow pain as a bonus!”

“I had been having pain in my middle and lower back.  Also my neck and shoulders were very sore and tight. I am unsure of what caused my pain but I had been having pain for a few weeks. The pain was causing me to not participate in activities that I enjoyed. I was referred to the office by my insurance company. I first came to the office in October 2006.  After two weeks of treatment all pain, stiffness, aches and soreness were gone. I slept better, felt better and was able to return to the gym.”

“I had pain in my left buttock radiating down the left leg, calf and ankle.  I also had some lower back pain.  It began about 3 weeks ago.  The pain was so severe I could hardly walk. I saw an article in the Metrowest Daily News on Sciatica and Back pain and requested the information.  My results have been that I am now pain free and able to walk better.”

“I learned of your office from the MetroWest Daily News newspaper. I called and arranged for an appointment because of the pain in my lower back and the severe leg pain. I went to 2 other doctors but they couldn’t find what was wrong with me… I just lived with the pain the entire year. I couldn’t be more impressed. The doctors and their assistants are very professional. I am very impressed with the variety of treatment equipment at their disposal. You didn’t just shoot me in and out of your office, as if you were ‘ringing the cash register.’ You decreased my pain with each visit and you showed me care and consideration while getting me better. I am far better now than I have been in a year! Each visit has improved my life because I feel better after each visit. The massages and electric muscle stimulation treatments, which I had never had anywhere before, were very helpful. All of the therapy is leading me to a better life because of less pain in my back and leg. You can give anyone my home phone number if they would like a reference!”

“I was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs. Doctors injected steroids into my spine but that only provided me with temporary relief… I am very satisfied with my care. I enjoy playing golf and before coming to MetroWest Spine Clinic, I was only able to play one day every other weekend. Now, I am able to play two or three days in a row with no pain… the doctors have helped me tremendously with my back problems. Before, I was to the point where I even had a problem just walking. These doctors have helped me get back to my normal routine.”

“I first came to the office a few weeks ago.  I had severe back and hip pain for the past 2 months. I don’t know what caused it and one night I tried to turn over in bed and couldn’t move.  When I got up I couldn’t sit the next morning.  I was referred by a friend to Dr. Austrager.  He did a complete evaluation and explained my problem to me.   I have had great results.  I am so much better and pain free. His treatments made me feel so relaxed.”

"I was referred to the office by my son who had treated with Dr. Austrager for back pain.  I was having sciatica that began in February and the pain I was having was unbearable at times.  The results I have had have been amazing. I have no pain at all and I am able to walk normally again.”

“I first came to Dr. Austrager’s office in November of 2005. I had chronic migraine headaches for over 13 years.  The migraines started when I was 13 years old. I would have headaches 4-5 times a week and a severe migraine at least once a week.  I was treated by my primary care physician since I was a teenager and went to a neurologist for treatment. Over that time I tried over 10 medications to help control the migraines.  At the end of last year I was on three medications taking 7 pills a day and I was still getting headaches.  My mother saw an ad in the newspaper for a free evaluation at Dr. Austrager’s office. Since I started treating with Dr. Austrager the number of headaches I have now have decreased dramatically.  I have only had a couple of headaches over the past 2 months and I no longer have to take my migraine medications.”
