I read about the Texas Spine Clinic
in the San Antonio Express News, stating that the
consultation was free with an 86% recovery rate. "Of
course" was my response as I had been in pain for
over 4 years. Likewise, I had cortisone injections,
for pain, 3 different times over a period of 2 years
with some relief, but not for long. I disregarded
the article and thought it was a hoax. However, for
two weeks, every time I read the newspaper the same
article kept showing up. Finally I decided to call
and make an appointment, after all it was free so
what did I have to lose? After meeting Dr. Barton
and Dr. Hoffman I thought "at least give it a try."
The entire staff was so professional. They made me
feel like I was the most important person in the
clinic. After 4 treatments I felt relief and was
ever so surprised! I am now pain free and have my
life back. There are no words for me to tell you how
very much I thank you. I also want to say that I
will miss each one of you. I may just have to stop
in every – now- and –them to get and give hugs.

Hi, my name is Luis Contreras and I
was a victim of chronic low back pain for 3 long
years. I decided to take an MRI and discovered I had
a budging disc which was 25 % out of its place
located at L5,S1. All the doctors that saw my case
said that I needed surgery which I am not a big fan
of. I did decide to get surgery because of the pain
being so unbearable. It was really limiting and
changed life for the worst! One day my wife came
across an ad about the DRX 9000 and so decided to
give it a try as my last hope. After 20 treatments I
am pain free and able to go back to my normal happy
life. My thanks to Dr. Barton and his staff for
showing me that miracles do exist!

Dear Dr. Barton:
It is so wonderful to function day
after day after day without back pain – I can’t tank
you enough. At age 70, I had almost decided that
maybe this daily pain was just something I would
have to learn to live with, although before this
problem, I was very active even with community
projects requiring physical work. Now I was looking
at continuous pain or surgery, which was not the
option I wanted. Then I read about your DRX 9000
treatment, and believed this was the answer for my
ruptured disc problem. The result was amazing, as
following my second week of treatment, I was free of
pain! Thankfully, I have had no pain since, and am
returning to my previous active life. I thank God
for you, Dr. Barton, and the DRX 900 treatment. I
would enthusiastically recommend your clinic to
anyone who is suffering a back problem similar to
mine.

I spent years with neck pain and migraine headaches
and thought it was normal. After spending 2-3 days
in excruciating pain, I resorted to going to the ER
because I was unable to lift my right arm. It was a
scary time being only 28 years old and an
occupational therapist that is familiar with
treating patients with similar injuries. I spent the
following 3 days with my right arm in a sling and
attempting to continue to care for my patients as a
therapist. After a MRI, I learned I had 2 herniated
discs (C4-5 and C5-6). I then visited with a medical
doctor and Dr. Barton and I quickly learned my
options. My discs were damaged greatly and I had 2
options: 1. surgery which would require hardware
placement, or 2. Receiving treatment on the DRX.
Being a therapist, I have spoken with numerous
patients who have had back surgery. Many told me to
hold off with this procedure for as long as I could.
I began the DRX treatments as quickly as possible
and after 2 treatments I noticed results. I was able
to lift my arm high enough to pick my hair up in a
ponytail. Prior to treatment I was placing my elbow
on a counter to attempt to make myself presentable
in public. After all the treatments I had regained
full range of motion and was working a full day
again. The healing procedure continued for months
after finishing my treatment on the DRX. I continued
to strengthen my arm through exercises. I’m glad I
was able to find out about the DRX before I had an
irreversible surgery.

As a registered nurse, I
used my head, my heart and my back caring for
patients. Over the past 20 years, I injured my back
several times. The standard medical treatment is to
rest, take anti-inflammatory and pain medication,
and physical therapy. Repeated injuries and missed
work took its toll on my back and my pocket book. I
was getting depressed knowing I was getting
progressively more debilitated and feared I would
not be able to work much longer. Also, I couldn’t
maintain my usual hobbies of gardening and hiking
because of pain, and fear I would injure myself
again. Then I found the Texas Spine Clinic and met
Dr. Barton. I was impressed with the scope of Dr.
Barton’s knowledge of anatomy and sports medicine.
He went through my MRI with me point by point, and I
gained a greater knowledge of my injuries. Dr.
Barton and his friendly and helpful staff made my
commitment to treatment easy and now I am back to
work full-time, full duty. Even more, I am enjoying
my free time hiking, biking and gardening without
pain! I am so grateful I made the decision to come
to Texas Spine Clinic. It has given me back my life.

I had two bulging herniated
discs, one being severely large and creating
unbearable pain from my lumbar area all the way down
my right leg. I could not walk, sit or do any normal
activities. The immediate solution was surgery.
Fortunately, I discovered Dr. Barton and the DRX
9000 spinal decompression equipment. Immediately
from the first week I experienced pain and through
the treatment I no longer had to take muscle
relaxers and pain killer medication. It is great to
function with daily activities and not be sedated or
under medication. Upon completion of my treatment, I
have experienced freedom from the pain and regained
the ability to accomplish the simple daily
activities in life we take for granted. I walk,
stand, sit and move with ease and best of all-pain
free. I thank God for Dr. Kevin Barton and the DRX
9000 machine that helps us enjoy a good life again!

Dear Dr. Barton:
I had a leg problem which has caused me a great deal
of pain. On April 5, 2006 I had back surgery. The
pain in my legs continued and I also got a pain in
the ankle. In February 2007, with a great deal of
pain, I was planning to get another surgery. I had
great difficulty in walking. I used to go to bed
crying with pain when I laid down. I am 74 years old
and I shrunk approximately 2 inches.
I visited with you for a second opinion prior to my
second surgery. After viewing the MRI’s you
suggested that I would be a candidate for spinal
decompression with your DRX 9000 unit. It was a no
brainer to use your treatment, a non intrusive
process in lieu of surgery, which did not work.
After 20 sessions which ended in May 2007, my
condition was that my pain had been reduced to an
annoyance in my legs and a slight pain in the
ankles. My walking was tolerable. After 6 weeks of
rest my condition improved. The only problem I have
is pain in the ankle. I have had two additional
sessions.
I am proud to say that I don't have any pain in my
legs. My walking is improving. I can walk a short
distance, (1/4-mile) without having to sit down.
Unfortunately, the pain in my ankle although better
is still there. I have a much lighter pain in the
ankle now but is still there. In the process I
gained back approximately 1 inch in height. I plan
to get some future sessions in hopes to eliminate my
ankle pain.
Although, I am not 100% cured I believe that your
spinal decompression process really works and that I
would recommend that to anyone who suffers the pain
I had.

I’ve been affected by
severe lower back problems for the last 12 years,
and have tried just about everything to alleviate
the pain, to include spinal injections. Nothing has
helped. About six years ago my doctors were telling
me surgery was the only thing that may stop the
pain. At that time as now, surgery was not an
option; although I could get through my work days, I
was not able to do much more.
Five weeks ago my father-in-law handed me a brochure
from the Texas Spine Clinic on Spinal Decompression.
I called the number, came in for a consultation,
where Dr. Barton showed me just how weak my legs,
ankles and toes were, by conducting some simple
tests and felt confident he could help me. After
just a few treatments I noticed things like getting
out of bed in the mornings was no longer an effort.
Getting up from a sitting position was no longer
uncomfortable. Now, 20 treatments later, along with
some simple back exercises, and today “I have no
back pain.” My legs, ankles and toes can hold off
the strongest pressures, my reflexes have returned
to near normal, and I can move around, bend, get up
and down, with no discomfort. I cannot begin to
explain how this very positive experience has given
me a new attitude, and I now look forward to many
years of pain free activities. Dr. Barton, I truly
thank you and your staff for the help I’ve been
looking for, it has been a godsend for me.

Dear Dr. Barton,
It had been many years that my back pain had
prevented me from enjoying my career, exercise, and
even children. I was not aware that the pain was
coming from torn and bulging discs, until you
revealed the results of my MRI. After going through
a series of treatments on the DRX9000, my back has
improved tremendously! I know, with continued
consistency, with my exercises, my back will
continue to get stronger everyday. I want to thank
you for your faith and encouragement that I would,
indeed, recover.

In April 2007 I had a fall
and sustained back injury. I received physical
therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments.
The pain was severe and progressed into Sciatica on
the left side. With the physical therapy this
corrected but moved to the right side. The sciatica
progressed on the right causing severe pain that
required medication which I did not want to take and
medical advice that promised surgery that I did not
want to undertake. I read your ad about the DRX9000
and presented it to my MD who stated “give it a try
and if it doesn’t work we can proceed with the
surgery or spinal injections.” Well I’ll not need
either nor have I taken medications since I started
my treatments with you Dr. Barton. I know that I
still have a little more time to go. When you are 80
years old you don’t heal so fast but I know that I
won’t need surgery or spinal injections. Thanks to
your care and your wonderful staff I’m walking and
engaging in all activities with minimal discomfort.

I lived with pain for three
years enduring several spinal injections to
temporarily block the pain. When the pain returned I
could barely walk and it was very painful to sit or
stand. As a single mom I couldn’t keep the house
clean and normal activities were a nightmare. My
pain management doctor suggested a nerve block. I
felt desperate to get my life back so I agreed. I
called Blanca and mentioned what I was going to do.
She told me about the DRX 9000 treatment. I know it
worked for her mother who had similar pain, but I
was worried about paying for the treatment. Dr.
Barton was great and worked out a payment plan. Now
I’m pain free and hand out Texas Spine Clinic cards
to anyone who mentions back or neck pain.

USAF Retired
San Antonio, TX |
Dear Dr. Barton:
I am a retired USAF Lt. Col. 81 years of age. I was
using a walker and taking maximum strength pain
medicine to barely stay alive. I had just completed
a MRI that showed I had a disc in my back pressing
against a nerve. I was advised to prepare for an
operation that would fuse two bones together as soon
as the pain, after using the maximum pain medicine
allowable, became intolerable. I was also advised
that even if the first operation was 100% effective
that additional strain would be put on other
sections of the back and an additional operation
might be necessary.
About this time I read in the newspaper – “Dear back
pain sufferer, there is a good reason why thousands
of former back pain sufferers are calling
non-surgical spinal decompression the “eighth
wonder” of the world.” To find out more call (210)
545–5111. I called the number and received their 8
page brochure. Although I was very skeptical I took
my MRI and proceeded to the Texas Spine Clinic.
I talked to several patients who had the same
problem and were very pleased with the results. I
gave Dr. Barton my MRI and was qualified to take the
procedure. I had 28 days of treatment on the DRX
9000 followed by massage, sonic treatment and ever
increasing exercises. After the first two treatments
I was able to stop using pain medicine and the
walker. After the 20th treatment I had no pain of
any kind but they wanted me to complete the program
which I did. The staff was extremely patient in
helping me on and off the DRX 9000 and in learning
the new exercises.
It is now 30-days since I had my last treatment. I
feel as though I have had my life given back to me.
I am once again doing all the things I used to do
including exercise in the gym 5 times a week and
walking almost a mile a day. I can’t play
racquetball because I had a hip replacement but I
feel ready to play. I am proud to say I am one of
the thousands of cured back pain sufferers returned
to good life and strongly recommend this treatment
to all who suffer this type of back pain. The
results I enjoy are worth many times the actual
cost. Many thanks to the Texas Spine Clinic and Dr.
Barton.

Dear Dr. Barton:
I want to thank you and your staff for the excellent
treatment I received this past month. You were
always on time or ahead of time for my appointment.
I was hurting a lot when the treatment began and
taking pain medication every six hours. I saw some
relief after the first stretch and therapy. After
the second week of treatments (8) I had no lower
back pain. I have been pain free since. The
stretching and back exercises continue to help keep
me more mobile. Thank you again for the excellent
treatment, and results I received at your clinic.

Helotes, TX |
My name is Elisabeth Clark.
I am 72 years of age. I have suffered from moderate
to severe back pain for the past 10 years. In late
2007, I twisted my back while preventing an elderly
woman from tripping and falling. Within days of that
event, I could no longer walk and was confined to my
bed because of severe back pain. Obviously, I had
damaged something in my lower back.
A MRI scan indicated that a herniated spinal disc
was pressing on a nerve in the lumbar region of my
spine. That was the cause of my excruciating back
pain. A back specialist doctor recommended immediate
surgery to repair or remove portions of the damaged
disc. My grandson is a trained Physical Therapist
and he warned that about 50% of his back surgery
patients had post-surgery problems due to adhesions
and scar tissue growth after the operation. My
grandson recommended that I first seek a
non-surgical solution.
I located the offices of Dr. Barton on the internet
and inquired about treatment for my condition. After
reviewing the MRI with me, Dr. Barton recommended a
series of disc decompression stretching treatments
on a machine known as the “DRX 9000”. After the
first 30-minute treatment at Dr. Barton’s offices in
Stone Oak, Texas, I was relieved of much of the
severe pain. A month of treatments on Dr. Barton’s
DRX 9000 has relieved me of all my back pain. I feel
20 years younger. In February 2008, I am now ready
for a series of Dr. Barton’s back strengthening
exercises so I will not have back pain problems in
the future.
This is an unsolicited testimonial and I am happy to
provide it. For the sake of those who might be
suffering with back pain and fearful of surgical
solution, I recommended a consultation with Dr.
Barton before committing to surgery.

Dear Dr. Barton:
After a year of having painful back problems, my
primary doctor recommend that I have an MRI and also
see a pain doctor that would help me. I had four
cortisone shots that eased the pain but the problem
was still there. The doctor then decided that
surgery was the best solution.
My husband and I discussed the problem and decided
to explore other ways to help me. We decided to talk
to you and your staff. My treatments were for five
weeks, four days a week. At first I was really
discouraged but the first week after the program I
felt like a new person. It felt funny to get up in
the morning and not feel that sharp pain when I
stood up. Now if I am feeling the slightest pain I
go to my room and do the exercises that you
recommended and the pain is gone.
I also want to tell you that after that first week
you and your staff made me feel like a member of
your group. I felt very comfortable and relaxed.
Thank you very much for all your help. I highly
recommend your method and treatment for back
problems.

When I first discovered and
was introduced to the DRX 9000 I was praying for a
miracle. I had suffered with sciatic pain for over a
year and surgery was not an option. I had been
through every treatment with no relief and the DRX
9000 was my last resort. After the second treatment
the worst part of my pain subsided. After a few
setbacks and with the help of Dr. Barton and his
wonderful staff I found my miracle in the DRX 9000.
I am living a better life for it.

For several years I have
had severe back pain. Medication, shots and
epidurals would help for a short time or not at all.
I met with a surgeon a month ago to arrange for back
surgery. A date was to follow. When we came home
that evening I saw an ad in the newspaper. My
husband Harold said call. Blanca said I qualified
for the DRX 9000 evaluation. Thanks Blanca. That was
the day we met Dr. Barton. He and his team of
therapists started working on my back. With
exercises and the machine, I am walking and sitting
better. I would recommend anyone with back pain to
meet Dr. Barton and his team. They are family by the
time you finish your treatments. I will miss them
all! Thanks Dr. Barton

Dear Dr. Barton:
I wanted to write this note to thank you for all
you’ve done for me. I have suffered pain and limited
mobility from a degenerated L4-5 for years. I was
crooked getting out of bed in the morning. Playing
golf was painful. The following day was worse. I
wanted to stand to eat dinner because sitting was
intolerable. My back never fully recovered from any
activity and the pain never ceased. Not anymore!
Working with you, the DRX 9000, and doing my
exercises have greatly improved my quality of life.
My back does not constantly bother me anymore. If I
do happen to overdo it, my back recovers. I’m not
crooked getting out of bed in the morning. I can
play golf pain free. Life is good!

“Today will be my last back
decompression session and related treatments. You
and your staff have been very professional,
thorough, well trained and well supervised. The
sessions have been on schedule. The initial results
have been satisfactory. My back feels good. It is
looser and substantially pain free. The ultimate
goal of the treatment has of course been to provide
enough decompression of the L5-S1 disc to allow the
disc to heal and for the associated soft tissues to
strengthen and support the area. This is the
non-surgical solution we have hoped for in our
discussions. I am optimistic at this point that we
have attained that level of improvement and will
remain under your care for at least the near future
to monitor the success of the program.”

“I am writing to let you
know I suffered for 8 years with lower back pain. I
tried just about everything that my family doctor
had suggested, but found no difference in my pain.
The pain was so bad it prevented me from doing
everyday activities and I came close to quitting my
job. I currently feel nearly pain free after my
treatments on the DRX machine. The pain that I still
have is mild and off and on. I feel comfortable that
I can return to my daily activities and start doing
the things I was not able to do before.”

“My name is Celso Compean.
I used to have pain in my back, leg and foot and was
not able to walk or stand for long periods of time.
I’m a truck driver so I would climb on and off my
truck and would experience a lot of pain and
discomfort. Just sitting and driving would stress me
out because of the pain I had. Then one day I saw an
ad in the newspaper and went to Dr. Barton’s office
to get evaluated. The first two weeks I felt better,
I still had some pain but not as much. Then before I
knew it I was done with my treatments and back to
work. Well, I just have one word for how I feel,
AWESOME!! I know I am still healing and getting
better everyday. I actually like walking and I feel
good and energized when I wake up in the mornings. I
know I made the right choice getting this treatment

I had suffered with lower
back pain for almost two years when I read about the
DRX 9000 in the newspaper. I had seen several back
doctors and had tried almost every treatment
possible short of surgery. That would be my last
resort. In the morning my pain was so severe that I
would have spasms in my back that would nearly keep
me in bed. It would take me 20-30 minutes to sit up
straight in bed and then stand up. After about the
first week on the DRX my pain was tolerable and I
was able to get out of bed without much trouble.
About the third week of treatment, Dr. Barton
started me on some back exercises. Now after
treatments I am exercising everyday and almost
hopping out of bed with no pain at all. Thanks for
everything!!!

“In the fall of 2006, I
began having pain in my right arm and shoulder. At
first I thought I had just pulled or hurt it working
at the ranch, but the pain grew worse with each
passing day. The muscle in my right arm began to
atrophy and I was losing strength rapidly. My
fingers constantly tingled. I could not sleep in the
bed and began roaming the house looking for a place
to get comfortable and try and get some relief from
my constant pain. No medications helped. I could
ride in the car with a pillow to support my right
arm and I still had tears in my eyes until the car
stopped. Finally my wife was told about Dr. Barton
and his work with spinal decompression therapy
treatments. My first visit was on 12/12/2006. My MRI
showed that my C7 disc was protruding inward causing
the nerve to be squeezed and causing the tremendous
pain. Dr. Barton stated that he has helped about 85%
of his patients with the DRX. Little did Dr. Barton
realize, I was doing all I could to hold back the
tears from my pain the first day. That afternoon I
began the first of 20 treatments. When I was fully
stretched the 1st treatment, I had relief
temporarily. For the 1st time in months I felt that
I had finally found a cure for all my pain. I live 2
hours from Dr. Barton’s office, but the treatments
were worth every minute I spent on the road. After
12 visits I could really feel the difference. I
could use my arm with very little pain. After 15
visits I went skiing and had a great time with no
pain. Now I have finished all my treatments and feel
like my old self. I am back to working on the ranch
and feel like a new man. I would recommend this
treatment to anyone who is having nerve and/or back
pain. I am truly a believer in the spinal
decompression therapy machine and Dr. Barton.”

Dear Dr. Barton,
I would like to offer my thanks for your treatments
on the DRX 9000. I’ve been suffering from pinched
nerves in my lower back for years. It was affecting
my left leg and the ability to walk. After 20
treatments I can now walk like I was when I was a
lot younger. I would recommend this treatment to
anyone with the same problems. I would also like to
thank your staff. It was a pleasure going for the
treatments everyday. I was treated like family. I
was sorry when the treatments ended. Again, thanks
everyone I enjoyed the treatments.
