“Feeling Great!!” — Another Success Story 🎉

Drew M came to our office dealing with significant low back disc-related issues, including an L4-L5 disc extrusion with nerve involvement and degenerative changes that were impacting his quality of life.

After completing our non-surgical spinal decompression + cold laser rehabilitation program, Drew has experienced significant improvement and is back to feeling like himself again.

Cases like Drew’s are exactly why we’re passionate about offering conservative, non-invasive options for patients who may have been told surgery, injections, or “just living with it” are their only choices.

Every patient’s case is different, but if you’ve been struggling with:
✅ Disc bulges / herniations
✅ Sciatica / nerve pain
✅ Degenerative disc issues
✅ Chronic low back pain
✅ Pain that just isn’t improving

…it may be worth having your imaging reviewed.

We are still offering COMPLIMENTARY consultations and MRI/X-ray reviews to help determine if our program may be a good fit for your case.

After years of not sleeping well and struggling just to stand for extended periods, Marlo D. finally found relief—and it’s been life-changing.

Marlo came to us dealing with chronic lower back pain that had persisted for years. Imaging revealed:
• Grade 1 anterolisthesis of L5 on S1
• Likely bilateral pars defects
• Moderate to severe disc height loss at L5-S1
• Associated facet arthropathy

Despite these structural challenges, he committed to care—and the results speak for themselves:

“After years of not sleeping well or being able to stand long, this is awesome.”

Through a combination of spinal decompression therapy and cold laser therapy, we were able to reduce pressure on the affected disc, improve function, and help Marlo get back to living his life again.

Stories like Marlo’s are exactly why we do what we do.

We are currently offering complimentary consultations and MRI/X-ray reviews to determine if you’re a candidate for our specialized care.

Some success stories are too good not to share…

Anita D. came into our office with severe low back pain she rated 10/10. Bending, twisting, standing, and walking all made it worse, and without Meloxicam, the pain would return quickly.

Her MRI showed a disc herniation pressing on a nerve root—exactly the kind of problem that can make everyday life miserable.

After completing our Spinal Decompression and Cold Laser Therapy protocol, Anita now reports feeling 95% better!

✔ Handled two long car rides with no problems
✔ Hiked on vacation pain-free

But her words say it best:

“I’m back to living my best possible life!!”

If you’ve been told you have a disc bulge, disc herniation, sciatica, numbness, tingling, or pain down your leg—we are currently offering COMPLIMENTARY consultations plus MRI and X-ray reviews to see if you may be a candidate for our program.

We’re excited to officially welcome Blair DeJong to the Rapids Chiropractic team as our new Chiropractic Tech!

Over the past several months, our spinal decompression program has been producing incredible results for so many of our patients. As more people continue to seek this specialized care for disc issues, sciatica, chronic low back pain, neck pain, and other spinal conditions, it became clear that in order to continue delivering the highest level of patient care and attention, we needed to grow our team.

Bringing Blair on allows us to better serve our decompression patients by providing more hands-on support, improved scheduling availability, and an even stronger patient experience throughout the healing process. Our patients’ care and outcomes will always remain our top priority, and expanding our team is an important part of that commitment.

A little about Blair:

Hello! My name is Blair DeJong and I’m from Little Rock, Iowa. I have been married to my husband Nathan for almost 7 years. We have 3 dogs and 3 outside cats. I enjoy traveling both in and out of the USA. In my free time, I love baking and cooking, painting, grooming dogs, front porch sitting, watching movies, putting together puzzles, and going for rides with our dogs in the side-by-side.

Blair says, “I’m excited to be a part of the team at Rapids Chiropractic, and I’m excited to learn more and succeed in this new career.”

We are thrilled to have Blair join us and know many of you will be seeing her around the office soon. Please help us give her a warm welcome!

Reggie came in at a true 10/10 pain.

For over 2.5 years, he dealt with severe low back pain shooting down his right leg into his toes—burning, numbness, tingling. He had tried PT, medications, and injections… nothing gave lasting relief.

⸻

After starting our targeted spinal decompression and cold laser protocol, things changed.

In just 13 treatments, his pain dropped to a 3/10. Symptoms no longer travel into his toes, and what was once constant is now only occasional—about 70% better.

⸻

If you’re dealing with low back pain, sciatica, numbness, tingling, or disc issues on MRI, we’re offering complimentary MRI & X-ray reviews with a consultation to see if you’re a candidate.

Message us or call the office—because 10/10 pain isn’t something you have to live with.

😣 Back or neck pain? It might be your discs.

Millions suffer daily — here’s a simple breakdown of common spinal disc problems 👇
1. Degenerated Disc (Degenerative Disc Disease)
Discs lose water and cushioning with age. They become drier and less flexible. It’s normal wear & tear — and many people feel nothing.
2. Bulging Disc
The outer layer weakens and bulges out like a tire under pressure. The inner gel stays contained. Often mild or even symptom-free.
3. Herniated Disc (Slipped/Ruptured)
A tear allows the inner gel to leak out and irritate nearby nerves. This can lead to sciatica — sharp, shooting pain down the arm or leg, along with numbness, tingling, or weakness.
4. Thinning Disc
Disc height decreases over time, reducing stability and increasing stress on joints and nerves.
5. Disc Degeneration with Osteophytes
Advanced wear where bone spurs form to stabilize the spine — but can end up compressing nerves and causing stiffness or chronic pain.

⚠️ Common Symptoms:
• Persistent back or neck pain
• Pain radiating into arms or legs
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness

✅ The good news: Most cases improve without surgery through the right combination of movement, strength, and targeted care.

Here’s the problem 👇
Most people are guessing what’s actually going on with their spine.

That’s why we’re offering complimentary MRI & X-ray reviews and consultations.

We’ll walk you through:
✔️ What’s actually happening in your spine
✔️ Whether your disc issue is the true cause of your symptoms
✔️ If you’re a good candidate for spinal decompression and cold laser therapy

No guesswork. No pressure. Just clarity.

If you’ve been told “you just have to live with it” — you don’t.

Most people are told, “Nothing more can be done.”

That’s exactly where Tim was.

After years of chronic low back pain, a prior discectomy, and ongoing right-sided symptoms radiating into his foot, he had tried it all—PT, chiropractic, etc. His MRI showed moderate multilevel disc degeneration and foraminal stenosis at L5-S1.

Yet his pain persisted. Daily. Intermittent. Worse with bending.

Sound familiar?

Here’s where things changed 👇

We introduced a targeted protocol using Spinal Decompression + Cold Laser Therapy—designed to:
• Reduce disc pressure
• Improve nutrient diffusion into degenerating discs
• Decrease inflammation around irritated nerve roots
• Support tissue healing at a cellular level

And the result?

“The results have been night & day different.” — Tim B

This is why we don’t just look at images—we correlate clinical findings + imaging + function to determine the right approach.

👉 Not every case needs surgery
👉 Not every case responds to basic care
👉 But the right patient for decompression can see major changes

We are currently offering complimentary MRI & X-ray reviews + consultations to determine if you’re a candidate for this protocol.

If you’ve been dealing with:
✔ Chronic low back pain
✔ Disc degeneration or bulges
✔ Sciatica or radiating leg pain

Let’s take a deeper look.

Message us or call the office to schedule your complimentary review.

Because “nothing more can be done” is often just the wrong approach—not the end of the road.

If you’ve been dealing with chronic low back pain, disc herniation, or sciatica, this is a story you need to hear.

One of our patients came in with significant lower back pain and sciatica running down her left leg, even causing tingling into her foot. After completing her spinal decompression program, her results have been incredible—and she shares her experience in this video.

If you’ve been on the fence about spinal decompression, this could be your sign.

We’re currently offering FREE consultations and MRI/X-ray reviews to determine if you’re a good candidate for spinal decompression and cold laser therapy.

Give our office a call and let’s see if we can help you too.

Glenna’s 30-Day Transformation!!

When Glenna came in, she had constant low back and hip pain.

Her X-rays showed multilevel degenerative disc disease, disc space narrowing, and a rotational curve in her lower spine — chronic mechanical stress, not just a simple strain.

We started a conservative plan:

✔️ Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
✔️ Class IV Cold Laser Therapy

No injections.
No surgery.

One month later, she wrote:

“I started this a month ago, had bad hip pain. Now I have no pain.”

Chronic back pain doesn’t always mean surgery is your only option.

If you’re struggling with back pain or sciatica, it may be time to look deeper.

Message or call us to schedule a complimentary consultation and imaging review.

Another Spinal Decompression/Cold Laser Success Story 🙌

“I started this 6 weeks ago… the results have been great — no back pain.”

Nothing makes our office happier than seeing patients get their lives back.

Six weeks ago, this patient was struggling with ongoing back pain that was limiting daily activity. Today? Pain-free and moving comfortably again.

So what did we do?!

1. Spinal Decompression!

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a specialized form of therapy that gently reduces pressure inside the spinal discs.

When a disc bulges or herniates, it can irritate nearby nerves and create pain in the back, hips, or legs. Decompression helps by:

• Reducing pressure on compressed nerves
• Improving disc hydration and nutrient exchange
• Encouraging the body’s natural healing process

It is especially effective for:
✔️ Disc bulges and herniations
✔️ Sciatica
✔️ Degenerative disc disease
✔️ Radiating leg pain
✔️ Chronic low back pain

2. Deep Tissue Cold Laser Therapy!

Cold laser uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow and accelerate healing!

It works by:
• Increasing cellular energy (ATP production)
• Decreasing inflammatory chemicals
• Improving circulation to injured tissue

Cold laser is highly effective for:
✔️ Disc-related inflammation
✔️ Joint pain
✔️ Tendon and ligament injuries
✔️ Arthritis
✔️ Muscle strain

When we combine decompression (to relieve mechanical pressure) with cold laser (to calm inflammation and speed tissue repair), we address both the structural and inflammatory components of disc pain.

If you’ve been told to “just live with it” or that surgery is your only option, there may be another path.

Call or message our office to schedule your complimentary consultation and MRI/X-ray review, and let’s start your path toward lasting relief.
