need a chiropractor

Dr. Sashe Ellison and his wife, Dra. Alejandra Rodriguez, both chiropractors and both of whom speak perfect English, have offices just half a block to the north off Sabana Park in San Jose. The office is on the same street as a large (and very pricey) barbecue restaurant on the corner.

The Sabana Park office phone number is: [b]2231-6719[/b].

The Atenas office number is: [b]2446-3457[/b].

Just wanted to heartily second this recommendation of Dr.s Ellison and Rodriguez. Have been working with them for some time AND they have a spinal decompression machine in their San Jose office……..thank goodness!!! Just terrific professionals.

Scott:

People with back and neck issues are sometimes suffering with collapsed disks. The spinal decompression machines are sort of like a very high-tech “rack”. Your neck or back are VERY slowly stretched with a time and weight amount decided by the doctor. This allows the “soft” material/nerves that is being compressed to slip back into place. This effect can last for some weeks or some months.

I have a permanent neck injury and this is the first thing outside the unpleasant option of prescription narcotics that has provided serious pain relief for me. This was recommended by my pain management doc as additional treatment.

To my knowledge, this is the only machine available here in Costa Rica.

[quote=”Scott”]Thanks Sue

I am actually sitting here with a neck traction device on …

So this ‘spinal decompression’ is traction for the whole spine.

The last six weeks have been ‘interesting.’

[quote=”Scott”]Great feedback – thank you all….

I actually visited Dr. Sashe yesterday and tried out his spinal decompression device which he says is perfect for what ails me…

Apart from the horrendously twisted neck which we can’t seem to adjust, I also had a laminectomy done at L4/L5 in the Royal Marine Commandos 30 years ago…

Pura vida!

Will go and check out that “back revolution” thing now …

Muchisimas gracias y Feliz Dia de San Valentin…
