1 year ago i was on tour pushing through the most intense back and leg/sciatic pain that i have ever endured! 10 months ago i decided it was time to stop chasing my dream and start looking at a very hard truth that i needed to see for me to understand the concept that my mental health and physical health was deteriorating rapidly at the point and i would not last another tour. My family and my girlfriend were taking care of everything for me because i had very little mobility or strength to do practically anything for myself anymore. This also was culminating with constantly being up all night due to the pain and accomplishing roughly 1 to 2 hours of sleep a night. It went on like this for years. It was so hard for me that after 22 years of playing drums, my band at the time reaching great success, had to move on without me and i also knew that i didn't want to leave them because i believed in the music, the vision and them as people so much that it took me about 2 months to realize the exit strategy so both parties could move on respectfully! To close out this incredible life/musical chapter, I endured a 12 hour music video shoot that left me in the worst of the worst pain i have ever felt and total immobility beyond the bathroom in which usually took me 5 sometimes 10 minutes to get to and from, as well as two shows at the beginning of March thus really driving home the point that i needed to really take the proper time to enjoy every bit of the rest of my life. This brings me to Dr. Ron Nusbaum of Back Clinics of Canada.............. Oh my goodness after too many years of doctors trying to convince me that my pain was not as bad as what i was making it out to be, everyone goes through it, get more sleep, take more pills, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!!!! I finally found some amazing companions in Dr. Nusbaum and his absolutely immaculate staff who did absolutely everything they could to make sure i was placed in the right direction for a proper MRI when my actual family doctors from years past to present were telling me that xray was the way to go (not actually checking anything internally by the way) and expecting me to just live with it when my gut always said that an MRI would show the truth if one of these weirdos would simply sign off for me for one and help me! Going rogue and a lot of money out of pocket proved that i was right. And they knew it too because everyone at Back Clinics listened and went out of their way help. Everyone is so personable, loyal, open, honest and most of all care about nothing but making sure that the individual is treated as the individual that they are. Because of all of their efforts and a lot of relentless work put in on my own time, my final exam came back that i am infact 95% fully recovered. Today i live pain free minus the stiffness i feel in the morning from being in the same position all night and then i do my stretches and it all goes back to normal as it should. I am back to working out full time and i am staying as head strong as i can to start my new life and begin the process of building my own session drumming business. For now, i am now taking this week to celebrate life pain free and i have my mom, my dad, my lovely lady, and Back Clinics of Canada to humbly thank endlessly for helping put this humpty dumpty back together again. Ive never felt so alive. Peace and Love, Animal read more

This might be a bit lengthy, but two sentences will not do this review justice. If you are experiencing chronic neck or back pain I would encourage you to seek out Dr. Nusbaum immediately for a consultation, your quality of life truly depends on it. I have spent the last 5 years with chronic back pain and debilitating sciatica from a workplace injury that left me with bulging disks in my L4-L5-S1. I have spent thousands on physio and chiropractic services across multiple provinces and was truly convinced that nothing would work. While every specialist suggested injections and nerve blocks in combination with surgery, I really wanted to avoid surgery at all costs, and came across the Back Clinics of Canada website. Here is what followed. I reached out to the clinic and left some information and by 8 am the next morning Narina called me and went through the intake process and was very accommodating to my schedule while booking me a consultation with Dr. Nusbaum, thank you Narina. During that consultation (at no cost mind you), the Doctor and I discussed the impact of pain on mental and physical health, and he explained very thoroughly how the spine operates, and the methodology behind his treatments - specifically spinal decompression and the Class IV laser. His logic was sound, and his confidence gave me a sense of hope I had lost many years ago. I decided to start treatment the following week. The results for me were very noticeable, very quickly. For the first time since Christmas I could put my socks on without wincing in pain and I no longer needed to hold on to the furniture to make my way around the house. I was able to sit and stand without immediately locking up and having my lower back and glutes go into spasm, and getting in and out of my car was finally effortless again, as it should be. All that to say - I genuinely felt the first full relief of symptoms from any previous treatments and my quality of life has improved drastically since beginning. I'm a new father to two new babies and while excited - I had spent many month dreading the day I would be unable to provide and carry out the most basic of tasks associated with parenthood. Truthfully, I had kind of accepted it and was feeling very very defeated and angry. That worry has since subsided and I cannot thank the team at Back Clinics of Canada enough for taking the time to educate me and walk me through my options without defaulting to the standard Spinal Fusion route that had been pushed on me so many times before. So please, if you are dealing with chronic pain and you feel like your only option to deal with it is to just accept surgery in hopes that it may relieve your pain, do yourself the biggest favour you can and reach out to Narina. She is extremely helpful and will guide you on how to get started with Dr. Nusbaum so you can find a treatment specific to your injury and pain. I promise you there are better options than invasive surgery for you to explore before making a very permanent decision. I'm 35 now, and I honestly haven't been this comfortable or happy since my mid twenties. 5 star rating because 10 stars isn't an option apparently. read more

I read all below reviews and I personally posted two very positive reviews on google. I visited Dr. Ron out of desperation October last year when my lower back snapped trying to catch my running cat which triggered my chronic back pain. The pain was excruciating and I was literally struggling my life. My go-to chiropractor was out of town. I tried to find anyone (not one charging a lower fee) which maybe help. In my 25 plus experiences seeking chiropractic help, a good chiropractor always charges higher fee. However, traditional chiropractic treatments can only maintain you for a certain period of time before the pain comes back. I called it a cycle. I called Dr. Ron's office that I found from google and walked in next morning. I signed the package. The next day when I had my first decompression session, my body had a very strong reaction. Later, I believe that it was because my spine has been crooked for 25 years and does not know how to react to the process of restoring it to the correct and natural position. Nevertheless, I decided to hang on the plan because I wanted to break come-and-go cycle that I experienced in past 25 years. After one week's treatments, I was able to walk. After week two, I was able to go to golf range hacking golf balls. After the treatment stage was done, I signed a year maintenance package. I visited Dr. Ron every month to have decompression and laser session plus physical adjustments. So far, I never experienced any major setback. At a quite few moments, when my years of experiences told me that my lower back would collaspe again during intense yard work and golfing, but it didn't and it holds on. I do think, Dr. Ron's system is different from traditional chiropractic treatments in some ways. The decompression and laser treatment may go to the root (or closer to the root) of lower back pain that the traditional chiropractic treatments can only alleviate and manage. Dr. Ron's systematic approach works on me. I am able to break the cycle lingering over the past 25 yeas, and I am fortunate enough to have him to back my back. William W read more

Back Clinics of Canada and Dr. Ron Nusbaum have greatly improved my quality of life over the last 6 weeks of treatment. I am a 34 year old female who has been suffering with a bulging disc in my lower back for the last 16 months. The pain has been constant and varied from moderate to completely debilitating, and has included nerve pain down the legs from sciatica. Previous treatments from physiotherapy, acupuncture and massage therapy had provided slight relief, but after a recent relapse, I knew I had to try something different. Six weeks ago, I painfully limped into Back Clinics of Canada and thankfully was accepted as a patient. Treatment has consisted of spinal decompression, laser therapy, nutritional supplements, specialized stretches and adjustments. The warm, friendly, patient and very professional atmosphere at the clinic has also aided me tremendously in dealing with the psychological lows of dealing with the chronic pain and feelings of hopelessness. Fast forward six weeks and I am now completely off all nerve pain medication, the occasional Percocet I would take on really bad days, and Advil! I now only take Tylenol Arthritis once or twice a day which helps relieve the pain from arthritis. I'm also extremely happy to say that a recent MRI now confirms that there is NO BULGING DISC ANYMORE! I will continue to see the clinic for continued maintenance care to continue strengthening my back/core and to improve disc health. I am very happy to have found Dr. Nusbaum and his staff and encourage anyone who is suffering from back pain to seriously consider a visit - you have everything to gain. read more

I came into Back Clinics of Canada using a walker and unable to stand for more than a few seconds at a time without holding on. This was in the middle of February. My eldest granddaughter was getting married in about a weeks time. I desperately wanted to be able to walk down the aisle and dance a little without a walker. Dr Ron Nusbaum, a true professional and his excellent staff helped me to realize that. After only I think 4 out of 20 sessions and some painkillers and a special back brace, I wasn't perfect but was able to enjoy myself. Thankyou Dr Ron and your full team. The office is run professionally, with excellent procedures in place. Before I left my house one day for a 10:00 appointment I received a call to come in 15 minutes later because they were running late. Who does that?Most times I was taken in early. After each procedure (2) there is a fresh ice bag waiting on a chair to hold on your back. I think all material is wiped down between clients. The exercise booklet of 18 exercises is started after a few weeks with tines spent & repetitions and intensity increased over time. Today I completed my last treatment and exit protocol and was measured for orthopaedics. Dr Ron even added one additional stretching exercise because of some stiffness he sensed (not pain). l am to wean myself off the backbrace, (already accomplished) but continue the exercise program for life and remain cautious when ever reintroducing anything new. l have stopped almost all pain medication and what I still take is a very low dose. read more

I have had lower back and hip pain off and on for over 30 years. In the past 6 months my back/hip and leg pain became debilitating to the point where I could not sit in any type of chair. Transitioning between standing, sitting, turning in bed, or trying to put my socks on was excruciating. Finding a pain free sleeping position was impossible I tried everything including, physio, acupuncture, massage and pain meds, all which only made me worse. I was sent to an Orthopedic Surgeon and an MRI showed I had a bulging disc and a herniated disc at L5-S1. All they could recommend was a spinal injection for the pain. I am so glad I found Back Clinics of Canada . After just a few Spinal Decompression and laser sessions, I started to notice a reduction in my pain. After two weeks of treatment I had significantly less pain and was able to sleep with NO pain, something I had not been able to do in months. After the 5 week program I feel like I have my life back. I no longer have the excruciating, debilitating pain that I had before, and my flexibility and mobility has greatly improved. I highly recommend the Back Clinics of Canada to anyone suffering from chronic back pain. You have nothing to lose, the consultation is free. I found them to be knowledgeable and honest in determining your suitability for the treatment. Dr Ron and his staff create a friendly, professional, caring and supportive atmosphere in the clinic for their patients. 5Stars!! read more

Dr. Ron and his team are unbelievably incredible people who know just how to brighten your day!! I've been through a numerous amount of different treatments over the course of the last two years for herniated L4-L5-S1 discs as well as degeneration. I was to the point that I could not work anymore due to the pain. I was at an impass because every doctor I saw had no way of helping me other than meds, which honestly did absolutely nothing for the pain. Surgery was ruled out because of my age and so I had to "learn" to live with the pain!! Wow! Learn to live with nerve pain? Not this girl! My husband found the Back Clinics of Canada while doing some research and we thought we'd give it a try. What did we have to lose? I went through the five week program and followed doctor Ron's instructions carefully. At first, the pain was aggravated slightly but doctor Ron assured us that it was normal. About two weeks after I completed the program the pain was gone!! I couldn't believe it! I can't thank doctor Ron and his team enough for everything they've done for me and my family! I feel like I've got my life back!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! If you feel like you've tried everything and nothing has worked, give them a try. You won't be disappointed :) read more

Before coming to Back Clinics of Canada, I was dealing with a Neck and shoulder pain that I'd had for six week. The pain was intense and constant, making it hard to sit, sleep, or get through the day. I felt worn down and frustrated from trying so many things without any real relief from the pain. Before seeing Dr. Ron Nusbaum, I tried medications, physio, chiropractic care and massages but nothing helped, in fact I believe might have made it worse. I decided to try Back Clinics of Canada because of their non-surgical approach and the positive reviews from other patients. From the first visit, I felt listened to and confident I was in the right place. After treatment, I feel about 100% better. I can now walk, sit, sleep, work out and enjoy my daily activities without pain. It's made a huge difference in my quality of life. The team is friendly and professional and Dr. Nusbaum takes the time to explain everything clearly so I understood what I need to do to avoid the injury in future. I never felt rushed. I would definitely recommend Back Clinics of Canada to anyone dealing with pain and looking for real improvement without surgery. Whyte read more

My father has cervical spinal stenosis recently diagnosed March 2017. He is 78 years old and was an independent working Professional Engineer before he was debilitated by this condition causing him constant neck pain leading to sleepless nights; walking with difficulty requiring someone beside him even with his cane or walker; arms unable to extend to complete tasks of daily living. He refuses to undergo invasive spinal surgery at his age. He tries acupuncture and physio with limited success. He heard of laser therapy while watching CNN in Cuba and asked me to look up similar clinics in Canada. We googled and found Back Clinics of Canada and he met with amazing people like Shannon, Tara, Zainab and Dr Nusbaum. A positive environment which offered sessions of decompression and K laser therapy. Five weeks later after 20 sessions, my father has little to no pain: he walks faster with improved stability and little use of a cane or reliance on a person around him. We will now start maintenance and exercise recommended by the food doctor and he is feeling much happier because he got his life back. read more

Life-Changing Results - No Surgery Needed! I came to Back Clinics of Canada with serious spinal issues -- arthritis, a fracture in my vertebrae (spondylolysis), grade 1 spondylolisthesis at L4-L5, and severe nerve compression. I had numbness in both legs, constant lower back pain, and was unable to sleep properly. I was scheduled for surgery and felt like my life had come to a stop -- I couldn't enjoy any of my hobbies or stay active, and at just 40 years old, it was mentally draining. After completing 20 sessions, I feel about 85% better. The numbness is gone, my sleep is back to normal, and most importantly -- I feel like myself again. I'm active, motivated, and finally enjoying daily life. The staff at the clinic were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel genuinely cared for. If you have back pain, arthritis, or even a scheduled surgery like I did -- I highly recommend giving this clinic a try first. It gave me real relief without the risks of surgery. I'm extremely grateful. read more

I suffered from a severe sciatica for almost two years and tried all therapies that were brought up to my attention, including physio therapy, acupuncture, conventional lumbar traction, visits to chiropractors and osteopaths. Although they helped to some extend, they could not compare to the pain releaf that I experienced with Dr. Nusbaum's spinal decompression therapy that implements specialty machine and other specific technics and methods. I felt a noticeable improvement after the very first few treatments. The improvement progressively increased over the following five weeks to the point that I could return to carrying on my normal life - travel, walking, dancing, engaging in business presentations and hosting meetings with no pain. The Clinic's staff is friendly, professional, attentive, considerate, accommodating, caring and understanding. Not only that I am happy to have made a decision to sign up for Dr. Nusbaum's Program, but my family, friends and staff - all thank me for it. The overall score for Back Clinics of Canada: Five (5) Stars. read more

In May if this year I was diagnosed with a bulging disc in my lower back. Not only did I experience lower back pain it was also accompanied by leg pain and numbness. Sitting and sleeping was uncomfortable. On the recommendation of a close friend who had achieved good results with her back pain at the Back Clinic of Canada (Dr. Ron Nusbaum) I booked an assessment on my back. On Dr. Nusbaum's recommendation, I began a series of treatments (spinal decompression) followed by laser. I have just finished my treatments and my back has improved significantly. My leg pain has completely been resolved. I have much better movement and flexibility and have started a strengthening regimen. Dr. Nusbaum and his staff have worked hard to improve the health of my back. With a busy work schedule they have been very accommodating in planning the dates and times for my visits.

I've been suffering from neck and shoulder pain due to DDD for the last 6 years, I've tried different pain remedies such as medications,RMT, PT and adjustments but they all gave me temporary relief. Out of desperation with the help of Mr Google:), I found Back clinics of Canada and made my initial contact with their team. I signed up for a complete course of treatment and gave my full trust and confidence on what Dr Ron can do for me. It was a great experience, I used to take pain reliever like every 4-6 hrs alternating with muscle relaxant, but since I've completed my treatment I only take once a day of the same medication or 2x the most especially after a day of computer documentation at work. It was indeed a significant improvement , the pain on my neck and shoulder is so much better. I thank Dr Ron and the whole team for the care they've given me. I truly and sincerely appreciate all the hard work you do to all your patients. read more

We're so thankful to The Back Clinic! For over a year, Anthony struggled with a bulging disc, and we went to so many doctors, chiropractors, and physiotherapists trying to find help, but nothing seemed to make a difference. It wasn't until we walked through the doors of The Back Clinic that we finally started seeing some positive changes. After just a few weeks, we noticed improvements in Anthony's mood, confidence, and activity level. A huge thank you to Annie, Sara, Adina, Justin, Narina, Cinthia, and Dr. Ron Nusbaum for their kindness, care, and support. As a mother, seeing my son start to enjoy life again means everything to me. I'm truly so grateful for the hope this team has given our family. I can't recommend The Back Clinic enough!

I can't say enough about the incredible experience I've had with Dr. Ron Nusbaum and his team. After struggling with ongoing neck issues, I turned to spinal decompression therapy at his clinic--and it was truly life-changing. Dr. Nusbaum is exceptionally knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes you feel informed and confident in your treatment. What really sets this place apart is the environment. His staff is incredibly well-trained, supportive, and compassionate, which makes a huge difference when you're trying to heal.

Since last December, when all of a sudden I couldn't walk for even 5 minutes without literally crying from pain and discomfort, I am now back to training regularly and doing 45 minute 5K nordic walks a few times a week with tons of energy to spare. Dr. Nusbaum was very clear that the inital treatment program would only do a part of the job to help me recover, and the rest was up to me - doing the recommended stretches, strengthening complex and continuing the regular follow-up adjustments. I took responsibility for my own well being, but without the initial treatments and the doctors on-going support, I don't believe, I would be here like this right now. You have to do your part in your own recovery, but with such a positive and fun team by your side, the process is so much faster and the result sooooo much better! read more
