Customer's reviews
I was extremely skeptical at first, but after treatment, I now know it was the best decision I could have ever made! I started March 31, after years of dealing with cripling pain in back, legs and feet, headaches and absolutely no energy, I could only walk with the aid of a walker, I am now pain free and back to being able to do normal activities, energy levels are high and no need for pain meds. The staff are super nice and know what they are doing! If you suffer from pain and are told there's nothing can be done or worse...told you need surgery, I HIGHLY recommend coming to this clinic first. It truly is life changing. Thanks to all of you at Durham Spinal Decompression Centre for giving me back my pain free, energy filled, active life!

In 2019 I fell on my back which compressed my spine, the pain was so bad, I couldn’t even walk, stand or lay down, it was so bad, I went to the ER and they did a CT scan and they send me home with pain killers and the ER doctor told me I need spinal surgery. Next day I called Dr. Mary Ann Goldhawk at the Durham Spinal Decompression Centre in Whitby and show her my CT scan result and she start the decompression treatment right away. After 4 weeks I was able to walk with little pain and after 2 more weeks of treatment I was able to start working normally again, I am still coming back for maintenance decompression. Thank God for Dr. Mary Ann Goldhawk, she saved my life and give back my normal life with her decompression treatment! God Bless Her! Million Thanks!
The Staff members are very knowledgeable and so kind, you feel like home.

I have been going to Spinal Decompression for at least 15 years. I was hesitant about starting at first but am so glad I did. I could not sit down and was so uncomfortable. Over the years I have improved so much and if I hadn't of gone I can;t imagine the shape I would be in today.. I have Severe DDD and I continue to do my once a month maintenance visits to keep on top of it all. I have seen people come in far worse shape than I was and it was a miracle to see them get better.
Sandy, Tracey, Dr. Goldhawk, Riza and Staff are excellent. They are so friendly, kind and thoughtful and I give it all a 10+ and would recommend Spinal Decompression to anyone with a Back Problem.
Thank You to All the Staff for your Help.
