The DRS System is  over 78% effective in treating low back pain and sciatica. It is safe, painless and covered by most insurance companies.

The only DRS System™ in Vermont is available at GET WELL

A revolutionary, new treatment for low back pain— The DRS System™ — is now available in the Burlington area.

The DRS System™ is a state-of-the-art, high-tech pain-reduction and healing system developed by renowned neurosurgeon and researcher, C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.  Over 100 of the FDA-approved DRS Systems are being used by physicians nationwide.

Recent research strongly suggests that most low back pain comes from the disc. The DRS System™ works by gently stretching the spine—decreasing the pressure on the disc and safely pulling it back into place. The DRS is one of the most advanced technologies available for non-surgical treatment of  low back pain.

Initial clinical studies with the DRS System™ show outstanding results in relieving the debilitating pain that may be caused by bulging, herniated, degenerative, or ruptured discs, as well as sciatica.  Pre- and post-treatment MRIs have shown a 50% reduction in the size and extent of herniation after only four weeks of treatment.

In their own Words; The DRS Results:

     "For some time I have been plagued with chronic back pain due to disc problems.  After my first treatment with Dr. Angier, the pain in my legs began to subside. Within 48 hours, I began to feel less back pain. I could not believe the relief was possible so quickly. After trying other alternative measures, I can say that this has worked the best for me."

     "This treatment helped me tremendously. I had constant leg pain of two years and thanks to the  DRS, I have not had any leg pain. I had lost hope of ever feeling better."

—Rhonda Abdelrahman

     "I was in a car accident in December of ’98. This caused some severe pain in my neck and back with pain radiating into my buttocks. The pain was interfering with my ability to walk and perform my everyday activities. 

     Dr. Angier outlined the treatment options for me including the use of the DRS program. I work as a schoolteacher and researched my options carefully. Looking at the literature and studies, trying the DRS program seemed the best option and much less risky than surgery.

     After the first few sessions on the DRS program I had dramatic reduction in my pain and my mobility was increased. The radiation of pain into my buttocks was gone and the pain I did have in my low back was intermittent. I would highly recommend to anyone with similar disc problems to try this program."

—Jan Garcia

     "In December of 1997, following a CT-scan, I was diagnosed with a disc herniation at L5-S1. Since that time I have seen two surgeons, had numerous x-rays, physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, steroid treatments, multiple manipulations and a MRI. All of these treatments failed to relieve the pain that I experienced in both my lower back and legs.

     In June of this year I began treatments with the DRS machine. To date, I have had 10 treatments. After only four treatments I was able to notice a real difference in the pain that I had experienced. As treatment continued, the pain in my legs began to dissipate. At this point, I’m optimistic that continued treatments will eliminate this problem. The DRS machine has been the only true relief that I have experienced over my 1-½ year struggle with back pain."

—Dori L. L. Chalmers

     "I am writing you in regard to the treatments I experienced with the DRS. I am pleased with the outcome regarding the pain of my lower back and the numbness of my left foot. It has been a great relief for me to have less pain! The relief of the numbness and tingling in my left foot has been successful also as a result from the treatments of the DRS. 

     I did not experience any discomfort during treatment. In fact, I was able to relax and sleep through the DRS treatments."

—Leigh Clark

     I would like to take a moment to express my sincerest thanks for the good health that I am now experiencing. Up until the time I came to you, I thought there was no hope. All I could envision was painful surgery. My outlook was very bleak. But thanks to you and the DRS system, I am feeling 100% better and my leg pain has completely disappeared. With the herniations in my back it would have hindered me for the rest of my life. Get Well was very accommodating in assisting my speedy recovery."

—Phillip Palmer

    When I began treatment for several bulging discs, I was unable to work, unable to sit for more than ten minutes, unable to move without pain and unable to sleep without pain medication. Pain would radiate from my mid and low back down into my calves with any forward-bending movement or with carrying and weight. I had tried various physical therapy and modalities for pain control such as heat, ice, passive stretching, massage, electrical stimulation and ultrasound––all with short-lived relief. Medication would lesson the pain, but not make the pain go away. Needless to say, I was rather frustrated and discouraged.

     At this point, Dr. Angier placed me on the DRS protocol. Over the course of treatment my pain gradually stopped extending into my calves, then stopped extending into my thighs and buttocks. At the end of the protocol, my lower back pain was lessened by a large amount and my leg pain was completely relieved.
