Effective Treatments That Have Changed
Thousands of Lives...
Our goal is to help you live life to the fullest again – without drugs or invasive surgery. Here’s a breakdown of our most effective treatments:
DRX9000, Advanced Spinal Decompression
The DRX9000 is an advanced spinal decompression table that gently decompresses the spine allowing the body to heal the disc between the vertebrae.
Through the computer controlled decompression, injured discs can absorb fluids and nutrients, enabling it to heal and possibly increase disc height.
Decompression allows the disc to heal and relieve nerve pressure.
Restores disc height to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Over 85% effective for bulging, herniated and degenerative discs.

“Dr. Leone's Back & Joint Pain Institute is one of the best finds I've ever made. My back, hand and leg pain has improved greatly over the last couple of months and I believe improvement will improve as I continue my treatments. The people in Dr. Leone's office are wonderful - very caring, full of joy and always ready and willing to work with my scheduling concerns. Thank-you Dr. Leone and all! I'm heading out to walk my dogs, something that not so fun several months ago!”

Deep Tissue Robotic Laser
This treatment uses targeted laser energy that penetrates below the skin and into damaged soft tissues.
The light stimulates a biological response to relax muscles, block the transmission of pain signals, reduce inflammation, and accelerate blood flow to the affected area.

“I went to Dr. Leone several years ago because I was having excruciating sciatica pain. I didn't want surgery and when I heard he had machines from Italy that would do decompression. I tried it. Dr. Leone told me "God created our bodies to heal themselves." With the exception of cancers I agree with that. Since it's our bodies healing themselves, it takes months to heal. I continued treatments twice a week and after 4 - 5 months, my sciatica was healed. I thank God for the machines and the laser machines which worked in tandem with God's healing as well. I was aware the people who had had surgery for sciatica were also Dr. Leone's patients because sometimes surgery did not eliminate pain. I am ever thankful for being
able to take advantage of decompression and laser treatments to heal my painful sciatica.”

How Spinal Decompression
Works
A gentle, non-surgical procedure that provides effective, safe and long-lasting relief
Spinal decompression uses a gentle pull and release motion to create space between vertebrae. This helps injured discs to heal by allowing fluids and nutrients to be reabsorbed.
Over a series of sessions, decompression removes pressure on nerves by restoring disc height and pulling herniations back into place. The non-surgical, drug-free treatment works with the body's natural healing abilities to relieve pain at the source.
