Disc Centers of America Commack | Spinal Decompression | Dr. David Ackerman

"If I could give more than 5 stars to Dr. David Ackerman and his team, I would. I literally crawled into Commack Disc Centers of America, crying and in absolute agony. The office was buzzing with activity--many patients and staff. I said to my husband, they must be doing something right in here. I was greeted immediately with ice and kindness by people who clearly understood the excruciating pain I was experiencing. I am a 62-year old highly active person, who went from working out every day--running, walking, weight lifting, skiing, hiking, swimming--to lying on the floor unable to move or do any type of self care. My world stopped. I was unable to work, care for my family and grandchildren, among other activities I enjoy so much. 8 weeks later, I am walking 2. 5 miles without pain and "back" to many of my usual enjoyments. I am on the road to a complete return to my active lifestyle with a tremendous new awareness. And...no pain! I can say this experience has been quite the journey. Dr. Ackerman is a kind, intelligent, talented chiropractor. He has helped me more than I can adequately describe in words. I knew nothing about spinal decompression prior to my injury. Anyone with a back injury knows how mentally, physically and emotionally life is impacted. What I have learned from Dr. Ackerman and his talented team is invaluable to me. I am forever grateful for the care and healing he has provided to me. If you are looking for expert care, if you are skeptical of the role of drugs, surgeries and injections in healing back pain, and more importantly, if you want true healing at the root of your injury, Dr. Ackerman and his team at Disc Centers of America will more than meet your expectations!"

"The reason I looked into spinal decompression was that I was experiencing numbness & tingling in my fingers, elbow nerve tenderness & spotty back tenderness. I was encouraged to see an orthopedic surgeon after an MRI revealed Some nerve impingement. I wanted a non surgical option. After completing the recommended number of sessions I am So happy that these symptoms have gone and can continue to be active. Thank you Dr. Ackerman !!"

"For anyone wondering if they should come into disc center of America. I personally highly recommend it. For so long pushing off lower back pain as a gym related injury I found doing everyday tasks getting progressively worse. I have tried a variety of treatment such as Physical therapy, trigger point injections, massages, and nearly getting medication to bare the pain. None of them compare or have worked nearly as efficient as Dr Ackermans spine decompression therapy and formulated recovery program. With my herniated disc and 4 other bulging discs I went from being bed ridden most hours of the day to feeling like a brand new me. The staff here is wonderful and is always ready to help. Again, thank you to everyone here at disc center of America and I personally thank you Dr Ackerman."

"I have been treated by Active Chiropractic Care since mid April 2024. I was diagnosed with sciatica on my lower back traveling down my right leg causing a huge pain and numbness. I couldn’t walk for long distances or stand for a long time. With the help from Dr. Ackerman, Dr. Pollet, and the Personal Trainers I can now enjoy my daily life to the fullest. It’s a slow, but success process, so please don’t give up, they will definitely heal you. Active Chiropractic Care is a very friendly and professional facility I would definitely recommend them. Thank you for making my life better. Sincerely, Melvin T"

"First I want to say Dr. David Ackerman is one of the most positive, upbeat, kind & compassionate people I know. He always greets you with a smile and is ready to help in any way. Dr Ackerman truly cares about people and is always looking for ways to help them improve their bodies as well as their overall health. After a severe back spasm Dr. Ackerman convinced me that spinal decompression was the best solution and he was correct!! From my very first treatment the pain lessened & after completing 10 weeks I feel 100% better, no pain! I am now able to do more physically, sleep better, walk better and I have more energy! I highly recommend spinal decompression treatment by Dr. Ackerman - it will change your life!"
