If you’re living in fear of surgery… waking up each day wondering how much longer you can take the pain… or feeling frustrated that nothing else has worked — there’s still hope.
At Fairway Chiropractic Centre’s Disc Repair Clinic, we’ve helped countless Kitchener-Waterloo residents avoid surgery and reclaim their lives through a gentle, non-surgical spinal decompression process that targets the root cause — damaged discs and compressed nerves.
“I was told surgery was my only option. After completing the Disc Repair Spinal Decompression program, I’m now 100% pain-free — no surgery needed.”
— Mark M., Pilot
You start avoiding the things you love — long walks, workouts, even sitting through a family dinner. You lose sleep. You lose focus. Some days, you even lose hope.
Maybe you’ve already tried chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, or injections, only to find yourself stuck in the same cycle — a few good days, then right back to pain.
Or maybe you’ve been told there’s “nothing left to try” except surgery — and that thought alone makes your stomach turn.
If that’s where you are right now, we want you to know:
You’re not broken. You’re not out of options. And you’re not alone.
At Fairway Chiropractic Center, we use Disc Repair Spinal Decompression, powered by SpineMED® technology, to gently relieve pressure from the discs and nerves that cause your pain — helping your body begin to repair from the inside out.
This isn’t about masking pain.
It’s about healing what’s causing it — without surgery, without drugs, and without giving up the life you love.
“I couldn’t bear weight. I was terrified I might never fly again.”
Mark, a commercial pilot and active lifestyle human being, had tried everything for his disc herniation — but nothing worked. After starting Disc Repair Spinal Decompression at our clinic, he noticed gradual improvement around session 5.
After completing his 25-session program, he was 100% pain-free and back to the life he loves.
“I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I only wish more people knew this existed before surgery.”— Mark M., Pilot
“By my 10th decompression session, I started to feel like myself again.”
Gerard’s lower back pain was so severe that daily life became impossible. After 15 decompression treatments, he was completely pain-free — walking, sleeping, and working again without medication or surgery.
“It truly turned my life around.”— Gerard V.

A full Disc Repair Spinal Decompression program includes 25 sessions, each lasting about 30 minutes.
This schedule gives your discs the consistent time and repetition needed to heal — just like exercise for your spine.
Our objective is long term results, not just pain relief that will return in a few months time. This is why it’s important to continue with the therapy until the plan’s completion, even if the pain is gone beforehand. Our Disc Repair Spinal Decompression program is in line with the best evidence and what Spinal Orthopedic Surgeons in Europe follow for those they put on the Spinal Decompression Table in the hopes of preventing surgery.
The full program investment is $5,000.
We stand by our results, which is why we offer a no-risk clause — if you decide to stop treatment early, you’ll be reimbursed for any unused sessions at $200 per session.
We believe in transparency and fairness — because your healing journey should feel safe, supported, and pressure-free.
💳 Financing is available for Spinal Decompression programs, making care more accessible without compromising quality.

We are the most expensive clinic in the Kitchener-Waterloo region; however, our pricing is on par with other providers across Canada who deliver a similar top-tier level of care.
There is a reason for the fee we charge. You are not simply placed in a room on a table — as is often the case in many offices — and left to decide for yourself how many sessions you should continue or when to stop.
We follow a trusted, guided system with over a 90% success rate for disc herniation recovery.
You are not just another patient. Dr. Nik truly cares for each individual, checking in on patients even on off days and weekends, ensuring they are cared for with the same attention and compassion he would give his own family.
Insurance coverage for spinal decompression therapy varies by provider.
Some plans may reimburse part of your program, and many patients use their Health Spending Account (HSA) to cover a portion or full amount.
Most traditional insurance plans are built for “sick care” — designed to cover crisis management, not long-term repair and restoration.
This program is part of health care, focused on healing the cause, not just masking symptoms.
During your Free Phone Consultation, we’ll review your situation and help you navigate your options.
Healing takes repetition and consistency.
We are after a long-term solution, not just temporary pain relief. Experience from Orthopedic Surgeons using the SpineMed Spinal Decompression Table in Germany and other countries in Europe have found that despite most people feeling much better at around the 15th session, their Disc Injury was not reversed until the 25th session for 90% of patients.
Your discs don’t heal overnight — they respond to cumulative, consistent decompression that allows damaged tissue to rehydrate and re-form.
Think of it like physical therapy for your spine: each session builds on the last until the disc can hold itself open again.
We want the best for you, and we want our reputation in good standing by providing long term results – this is why we require a minimum of 25 sessions.
Note that there are other offices that do not follow our protocols. We have seen many of those patients after they were tired of poor results.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a disc herniation, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis, and you want a non-surgical solution, this may be exactly what your body needs.
That’s why we start with a Free Phone Consultation — so you can share your story, ask questions, and find out if this program is a good fit before committing.
There are other clinics offering spinal decompression in our area — and some may offer shorter or cheaper programs.
But disc healing isn’t about who’s cheapest — it’s about who understands what your spine truly needs to recover.
There is much more to successful long term results then simply being put on a spinal decompression table. The competence of the person in charge of your entire plan of recovery is paramount.
We pride ourselves with an over 90% success rate of improvement where patients have gone from a 10 out of 10 pain intensity to below 3 out of 10.
We Truly want you to succeed, and we know that what you are going through is not only difficult physically, but mentally and emotionally also. It is not uncommon for Dr. Nik to check on his patients on ‘off days’ and weekends by text messaging and phone calls, ensuring you are cared for just as he would if it were his very own family member going through this. We’ve been told by everyone who’s gone through the process so far (especially those who have tried spinal decompression at other offices) that they have never experienced this level of care anywhere else.
You’re investing in the best possible chance at full recovery.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a Chiropractor, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people recover from disc herniations and rebuild confidence in their spines. Over that time, I’ve learned an important truth — while chiropractic care is incredibly powerful, some disc cases need a more specialized approach to achieve lasting recovery.
That’s where Disc Repair Spinal Decompression comes in. This non-surgical therapy allows me to gently and precisely target the damaged disc itself, giving it the space and time it needs to heal.
But decompression is only part of the solution. The other key is teaching patients how to keep the problem from coming back. That’s why I’ve incorporated the McGill Method — a world-renowned system for spine rehabilitation and core stability — into every treatment plan.
I was personally trained and certified by Dr. Stuart McGill in Sydney, Australia, during the 15 years I practiced there. Although I no longer maintain the paid registration on his public list, the knowledge and principles I learned from Dr. McGill remain at the heart of my care today.
Since 2007, I’ve helped thousands of people recover from disc herniations — and I can honestly say that combining Disc Repair Spinal Decompression, specific chiropractic adjustments, and McGill-based spine stability training has transformed both the speed of recovery and the long-term results my patients experience.

I haven’t woken up with a migraine in a month – that’s the first time ľ’ve been able to say that in the past 59 years. The migraines were for many years hormonal but as I got older they evolved into what I felt had a more physical cause. Over the years I’ve tried chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, Botox, and naturopathic remedies. I’ve been prescribed many ‘preventative’ migraine medications, all to no avail. I’ve been hospitalized with tests showing no causation of the migraines and when, many years later, a neurologist told me he could not help me I gave myself up as a lost cause.
Every time I awoke with a migraine I blamed myself in part – too much time vacuuming perhaps or raking or even sitting for too long. The only resource I had was a migraine medication taken with OTC pain killer/muscle relaxants and often in addition antinausea tablets. My days, sometimes as many as 5-6 times weekly, were spent enduring the migraine until the medications kicked in many hours later or, in the following days, feeling the aftereffects of both the migraine and the medications.
Regular chiropractor adjustments, particularly with Dr. Nik, reduced the severity of the migraines so when he suggested Spinal Decompression along with more frequent chiropractic adjustments I was only too willing to try the treatment even though it was costly. I was not apprehensive but instead interested in starting the process which I found relaxing and not at all painful or uncomfortable and I appreciated the reassurance given that I was in the correct positioning. The 30-minute sessions passed quickly, and I appreciated greatly the wonderful care I received. I expected that if the
treatment was successful for me it would be after perhaps half of the 25 sessions, but 1 started feeling better after only a few appointments and improved incrementally with each session.In the past my life was filled with pain and the ensuing procrastination in many aspects of my life and now to wake each day without a migraine is so astounding that it is taking me a while to adjust mentally. I am no longer surviving my days but living a life I thought was impossible due to the constant migraines. I am now able to sit at my laptop and write regular emails to my family members overseas – a task which would always result in a migraine and was, therefore, constantly postponed. I no longer dread going out for the day knowing it would result in a migraine that night. My adult children are so happy to see the difference in me – seeing me live each day fully with optimism. It would have been so easy to discount the suggestion that there was yet another option in my constant search for migraine relief given the cost and the logistics of multiple appointments, but I am so glad that I took a leap of faith and ended up with a lightness of being in body and spirit which I thought was improbable if not impossible.
