My name is Dr. Travis Rader, I am a Back and Neck Pain Specialist. A feel I have a highly important responsibility and obligation with those I treat. I have found people want two basic things when it comes to their healthcare. First of all they want to find the true cause of their health condition. Secondly they are searching for a make sense approach or course of treatment to get them better.

I'm leaving 5 stars because I believe Dr. Presas truly has good intentions and his work may help some folks, but I will detail my experience that will definitely help others. I herniated my l5 s1 playing basketball summer 2021 June. First of all, do NOT waste money on an Xray for a herniated disc. The Dr. will tell you this is adequate, but it's certainly not.
You NEED a non-contrast (only for tumors) MRI to truly see your herniation. 375$ Dr. Presas charged for Xray is too expensive, normally is about 100$. Secondly, insurance does not usually cover his services; why? They are not proven. I went through 5 treatments over 3 weeks and spent 1000$ out of pocket. I will say I had no relief from the decompression.
You can get the same level of decompression I discovered from hanging from a pullup bar. You can also use an inversion table. His expensive machines are not proven and don't work. Lets be real, you cannot "suck" or "vacuum" suction a disc back into place from decompression. On the good side, I stopped his treatment and developed my own and I am pain free 5 months later without any doctors help.
The Cure: 1. Most importantly, REST as much as you can on your back. Heat and ice help, tens unit helps, but nothing cures like pure rest and time for the disc to heal. 2. Drink as much water as you can, take supplements, (curamin, MSN, cumin). Eat a healthly diet. 3. 200 hip thrusts a day, walking if possible 4. Hang from pullup bar and to planks as well.
Many core exercises to strengthen your abs and back. 5. Time heals most wounds, 5 months after my own routine, I got better, no surgery, no more wasted $, and back to normal. You DON'T need surgery or decompression, you need time and rest. 5-6 months in the worst cases. Good luck.

I am happy to say I am encouraged that these treatments will help me. Dr. Presas makes sure you understand the process and know exactly what is going on. The office staff are very kind and helpful. If I had to say any negative I wasn't asked about the letter I received in mail that said if I came in within 10 days of receiving it I wouldn't have to pay the $375.00.
My consultation was free though and this was cost of xrays so not a bad trade. I also wish they could file insurance for the customer too because cash upfront can be costly for some patients. Update- Unfortunately none of the treatment I received helped. I decided to stop going for treatment and was out of thousands of dollar.

Couldn't be more disappointed. My boss began treatment after listening to my recommendation. I did a ton of research when he was told he would need extensive surgery on his back and that even with surgery there was little hope he would see improvement. Site after site had rave reviews on the doctor and the approach he takes. After THOUSANDS of dollars and bi-weekly treatments for months we received new imagining from a second surgeon today that show ZERO change to his spine.
Nothing realigned or even shifted. Two separate doctor's offices have laughed when told what Dr. Presas assured us would be accomplished. So very disappointed that I believed in the reviews I read online and persuaded someone else to spend money with these people. Please don't make the same mistake.

Dr. Presas and the entire staff has been fantastic. I started treatments in December of 2018 and in less than 6 months I am a new man. I was having trouble walking, constant back pain and could not even bend over to tie my shoes. Today I am riding my bicycle and have zero pain. I spent almost 10 years with back pain. Visited numerous chiropractors across the country and nothing helped like NuCCa and back decompression.
The 1 hour a week that I spend in the office is all it takes. I travel quite a bit for work and have been able to miss weeks at a time and still stay on track for my recovery. This was a last ditch effort as I thought I had tried everything but surgery, and back surgery is not what I wanted. I cannot thank the whole Chiropractic Crew enough. You get what you pay for.
This is not free or cheap, but it is effective. I've told people that I would have traveled across the world to get the relief that I found at the North Dallas Spine Center. If your in pain, come in for the consultation. You will Be glad you did

I started treatments over a week ago and already feeling better. Dr. Presas and his staff are very pleasant. He is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I still have some way to go but I believe my experience will be worth it. I recommend North Dallas Spine Center. I was broke down and could barely walk and using a cane. Today no cane and walking a lot better. The best part for me is no surgery or injections.

This truly is a Five-Star experience. The environment is beautiful and tranquil, and the ladies are as wonderful as everyone says! Every visit is enjoyable. Besides the fact that Dr. Presas is such a great guy, he delivered me from some of the worst pain I had ever felt (like I couldn't even get up for a day). I had left a surgeon who was about to put a plate and pins in my neck!
So I decided that I really needed to see if NUCCA and decompression would work for me. The treatments are so comfortable, that at first I wondered if anything was really happening. But guess what? I have no more pain!

The team at North Dallas Spine Center are so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable! Have been going there for nearly a year, following Dr. Presas from his previous practice (yes, he's that good!). I'd definitely recommend them as they don't try to take advantage of you like I've had some chiropractic doctor's do in the past. And they encourage you to restore your energy and equilibrium after an adjustment with small snacks, meditative music, and a great lounge room with reclining chairs. If you haven't tried their type of adjustments which focus on the neck to correct entire spine and muscle issues, I'd say give it a chance. You won't regret it!
