Jersey Shore Low Back & Pain Relief Center | Dr. Kenneth Zammito

“I started coming to Dr. Zammito last October, 2006 for lower back pain. Prior to starting the DRX machine, I had been to back specialists. I was sent for 6 weeks of physical therapy. Sometimes that helped the pain, but it always returned. I was sent to discuss having shots to help the pain. I decided against that. I was taking natural supplements every day to help the inflammation but that just minimized the pain a bit.

When I started with the machine, I was truly a skeptic. As the weeks progressed, it didn’t appear as though I was getting any better. After many discussions and fine tuning, I started feeling better somewhere around the 30th treatment. I was able to start doing housework again. I was able to stand for longer periods of time and I really didn’t notice any pain in my back. I started walking and doing mild exercise recently and now only come to the doctor’s office for maintenance. This machine has helped me to regain my life.”

“After thirty years of suffering from the pain of sciatica and getting to the point of having great trouble walking, I certainly didn’t think any cure was out there for me. Especially after having seen many different specialists and having treatments such as pain management, water therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, two epidurals, cortisone shots, a nerve block surgically performed and a custom made brace prescribed for me in the 1980’s to help numb the pain.

There were times when I obtained relief but it was always temporary and disappointing. The only thing that kept me going was a positive attitude, many prayers to God for an answer and the fact that I believe in miracles. “Voila” the miracle in the form of Dr. Zammito who after reading the results of my MRI, told me I was a candidate for the DRX 9000 machine. After scheduled visits on the machine the sciatica has disappeared.

Many thanks Dr. for accepting me as a patient and changing my life. I will always be grateful to you. God Bless you and your work.”

“Three and a half years ago, I was in a car accident that left me with multiple problems from injuries. I had bulges and a herniated disc in my back. Severe neck and back pain, sciatica and numbness in my hands were constant. Sleepless nights were the norm. Many days I couldn’t drive even locally, there were numerous things I could no longer do or I had limitations. Life revolved around doctor’s visits, orthopedic, neurological, physical therapy and M.R.I.’s. After six months I added chiropractic, which did get my neck feeling better. Pain management was difficult, even though I have any years of sobriety, medications for my level of pain just weren’t an option. Muscle
Relaxants, tens unit, ice heat, wraps and rubs helped, but I needed more relief. A series of epidurals the second winter did help. Last winter my Dr. and I discussed doing it again. My insurance company said no, from there an appointment was made with a surgeon for a disc-o-gram. While waiting for my appointment, all the people I’d met the last few years in doctor’s offices that had surgery that didn’t help, went through my mind.

Since I had done so well with chiropractic for my neck, after seeing a commercial for DRX 9000, I saw this new chiropractic tool as an alternative. After a month, there were positive results and just kept getting better. Now I’m good for a solid six hours sleep no muscle relaxants, infrequent sciatic, that’s mild, numbness in my hands has stopped. I actually do have times without pain.

Last winter, at this time, more days then not I could barely walk. Now, what a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I have always been very active physically. I played two sports in High School, played tennis and golf as I got older, and coached youth athletics for nearly 20 years. I also have a large piece of property that I am constantly doing landscaping projects on. One day when I went to get out of my car and my back “locked” up, I was very concerned. X-Rays showed a pronounced bend in my spine and a later MRI found one bulging and one herniated disc. I thought I would be limited as to what I could do physically for the rest of my life.

Dr. Zammito and his wonderful staff introduced me to the DRX 9000 machine. I began treatment in the late spring of 2006. I felt almost instant relief and have continually approved ever since. Every fall I have a large crop of bulbs I dig up. I just finished digging up over 300 plants this pas Thanksgiving weekend. Although I do feel the routine muscle aches normally related to this activity, my back feels great. I owe this all to the care I received from Dr. Zammito and his caring staff!”

“When I first started taking the treatment, March 8, 2007, I was very skeptical due to the failure that I had with epidurals over the past four years. Boy was I surprised! Here it is May 8, 2007, I have no pain, I’ve been doing everything Dr. Zammito told me to do, and I can’t begin to tell everyone how happy I am with the DRX 9000. Also, I want to commend the great staff he has especially Rachel who is always so pleasant and so skilled at her job; and Judy who is also so very pleasant to deal with. As for myself, I recommend this procedure 100% and hope that it lasts a long, long time.”

“The DRX & Dr Zammito have been a life changing experience for me. I can’t imagine how my life would have been if I had to continue to live with the pain & discomfort that I was experiencing every minute of everyday . Praise GOD for Dr Z & that machine who together have given me a new lease for a happy pain free life.”

“It’s been many years, but, I think Dr. Z. saved my life with the DRX9000. I was in terrible pain from the back of my buttocks to my calf for a long time. I went to many doctors before I finally found Dr. Zamitto…He was so thoughtful and concerned for me. He even had his children praying for my recovery. God bless him and his family.”

“I have been coming to you almost since you have opened your practice approximately 20 years ago. You have always been able to correct any of the problems that I might have had. Over the years from my playing of sports and my various jobs, i.e. landscaping and office furniture delivery, things have gotten progressively worse. About one year ago, I had extreme pain in my lower back. I had told Dr. Zammito about this and he adjusted me. The pain had lessened, but not totally. He had suggested getting a MRI to find out more of what was going on. Upon doing this and having the results read, he had told me I had a herniated and bulging disc.

We sat down and talked about a course of action. He said there is the new technique using a machine called the DRX 9000 that actually pulls the spine to allow less pressure on the discs and allow the discs to realign themselves. By doing this there are less pressure points for the discs to touch.

I agreed to the treatment and had gone through the whole series. The treatment starts out slowly with low weight and each treatment the weight gets heavier. Even with is all that is felt is a gentle pull and pressure. Between doing the treatment and exercises my back has never felt so good.

Every once in a while I do feel a little twinge but does disappear usually within an hour. I am now able to do things I normally could not do and not have to really worry about as long as I do not do something stupid.

All I can say is I am totally happy with the results of the DRX and would not hesitate to suggest its use to anyone.”

“When I first went to Dr. Zammito’s office I was in a lot of pain and was not able to sleep the night through (I couldn’t turn from side to side in bed). I couldn’t shower without help, or work and became depressed. The thought of having injections and possibly surgery to cut the nerves in my back, did not give me a good feeling. Since I previously had surgery on my cervical spine, I knew this was not the road I wanted to travel again.

My first visit to the office left me very hopeful but skeptical. After hearing what Dr. Zammito had to say and listening to the patients in the waiting room, I became very anxious to start. The people there were very friendly and free to give their experiences and advice. When I started the DRX 9000, I remember saying please let this help me. Well time passed and other patients seemed to surpass me in their recovery and I was becoming a little discouraged. When Dr. Zammito asked how I was feeling I told him a little discouraged, e assured me that it would all come together, one day it will just click in. Well let me tell you, he was absolutely right. One day it did, I don’t know when or how but all of a sudden it was like Oh My God, I know what he means, I feel good. I then knew I was where I should be. All the times I had been on the machine relaxed me and I actually looked forward to my visits.

I knew I was better and I could finally return to work. I am feeling good, I’m back to a “normal” life and I thank the good Doctor, his wonderful, friendly, happy staff who made all my visits so pleasant, and of course the DRX machine. I have made new friendships through my treatment, and for that I am thankful too.

I want to personally thank Dr. Zammito, Judy, Rachel, Nancy, Julia and Janice for their smiling faces, and for making me look forward to all of my visits. May God Bless all of you.”
