The Boydston Institute Difference

Fresno's Leader in Spinal Decompression Therapy and
Non-Surgical Back Treatment

At the Boydston Institute, in Clovis, CA...just 2 blocks east of Fresno, we treat chronic back pain, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and herniated disc patients from all over Fresno, and up and down the Central Valley. Back problems are common in society today...and they can be physical limiting and debilitating. We know that back pain sufferers are looking for safe non-surgical treatment options for the lower back problems that are plagueing them.

We also know that every patient is unique, even if the symptom otology is similar..and the imaging studies are similar...the patient is still going to have to be handled differently. We are extensive in our diagnostic process, making sure we pinpoint the source of the problem and design a non-surgical program that is going to target that cause.

We feature the DRX9000 spinal decompression system in our office. It is the most cutting edge non-surgical spinal disc repair system available today. We brought in this technology because we knew that the lumbar discs are common source of back problems. Prior the introduction of DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy...just a few years ago...it was thought that lumbar disc problems could not be repaired without surgery. The DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System changed everything.

We were one of the first offices in the Fresno and Clovis area that featured the DRX9000. As amazing a treatment technology it its, we also know that the DRX9000 alone is not going to be enough for every patient.

We have also incorporated the ATM2 Spinal Rehabilitation Machine into our practice. The ATM2 is designed to change the way muscles in the lower spine work. We reposition the lower spine and pelvis, and then do isometric exercises that fire into the central nervous system. This trains the central nervous system to fire more appropriately, improving spinal mechanics, and reducing pain...fast.

What about the cause of disc and lower back problems? Every patient wants to know, "what caused my problem?" This is obvious in the case of injuries or accidents but not so obvious in slowly progressing degenerative conditions.

In most cases, the cerebellum is weak in chronic back pain cases. The cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls all the tiny muscles that move your spine. If it is not working appropriately, then the joints don't move properly, setting the stage for disc herniations and disc degeneration. I use Boydston Brain Based Rehabilitation to non-invasively evaluate and rehabilitate the cerebellum. This improves our long term outcomes because we are getting to the actual cause and creating neurological stability to the muscles that move your spine.

Finally we use clinical nutrition, functional blood chemistry analysis, and functional endocrinology to look at chemical and inflammatory causes of back pain. If you have systemic inflammation, and many back pain patients are inflamed, we need to devise a natural approach to work on the source of the inflammation. We may order advanced laboratory testing to determine your underlying metabolic state. In may be an integral key in your recovery.

In short, NO STONE IS LEFT UNTURNED, in diagnosing and treating your lower back condition, non-surgically. Our clinical experience, advanced technology...like the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System, and clinical nutrition protocols give you the best chance for a full recovery. If you have sciatica, degenerative lumbar discs, back pain, or herniated discs then the Boydston Institute is your best option.
