About us

I grew up as a very active person.  Years of cheerleading, running track and doing gymnastics and teaching aerobics.  All of the jarring, jamming, and compressing that took place over the years, finally took its toll on my back in my early 20’s.

At age 22 I began having back pain and over the next few years it became intolerable at times.  If I just moved the wrong way, the pain would take me to my knees.  There were times that it would get so bad that I couldn’t find a comfortable position.  I couldn’t get out of bed, I couldn’t sit on the toilet by myself, I couldn’t shower, I couldn’t dress myself.  And at times I would be like that for days on end.  Unfortunately, all the doctors knew how to do was give me pain meds, anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxers and have me do nothing till things settled down and I could move a bit.  

After getting an MRI and finding out my L-4 and L-5 were herniated and impinging on my spinal cord, I understood where all that pain was coming from.  Having to learn what I couldn’t and couldn’t do was the challenge for the next few years to come.  

By the time, I was in my early 30’s my discs had begun to degenerate.  Pain still existed and daily my pain level was about a 5, a lot of days it was at a 6 or 7.  I’ll never forget the day my chiropractor looked and me and said, “Trina, I have done all I can for you, I’m unable to treat you anymore.”  I was speechless, and scared.  I didn’t know what I was going to do.  I decided to go see a neurosurgeon to see what my options were.  What he had to say, was NOT what I wanted to hear! He told me, “Until you’re taking 10 pain pills a day, and in my office crawling on the floor in pain, I will not do surgery on you.”  I told him, “My whole reason for my visit was because I didn’t want to get to that point!!!” I asked what my options were.  He gave me a list of a few options, many I had already tried, like physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, pain management, or yoga.  

Disheartened I left his office, knowing I had done most of these options and they hadn’t helped.  I continued going to see another chiropractor for a while.  He mentioned to me that he felt, if I had the chance to ever get on a LORDEX spinal decompression unit that he really felt it would help me.  Sad to say there wasn’t anywhere around or even close that had the machine.  

I ended up moving to Flagstaff shortly after that, and believe it or not that little town had a clinic that had a LORDEX spinal decompression machine.  I started treatments, and it was a bit uncomfortable to start with, but my back was in bad shape and my muscles were very weak and unstable.  I continued with treatment and began to see a difference and have some relief after about 9 treatments.  After about 13 treatments, I woke up one morning and had NO PAIN!!!  Could it be?????  I couldn’t believe it!  I had dealt with pain for over 11 years and it was finally gone.  I went all day and evening with no pain.  I had finally found relief and was so excited.  

Unfortunately, I ended up having to move back to Ruidoso just after my new-found relief.  Once I got back to Ruidoso it wasn’t but about 3 months and I was right back to where I was before I went through the treatments.  It was because there were not any decompression machines in the whole state and I was unable to continue with treatments.  Because of this, I began on my journey of trying to start my own spinal decompression clinic so I could help others, just like it helped me.  

I began going to school to learn more about the back and body, I started a business plan and worked on it for over 2 years.  Over the years “LIFE” happened, and I couldn’t make it happen until now.  Never losing the dream, I kept going until I found someone who believed in me and the possibility of helping a lot of people.  Fast forward to today, and I am now able to offer the latest and most advanced LORDEX decompression technology to help people get their “LIFE” back.  I am so blessed to be able to offer this service.  I hope you will come visit and see if decompression is right for you.  Let us help you get back to being able to do the things you love!!  And always remember… ”We’ve Got your Back”. 

Sincerely,
