Vax-D Decompression Therapy for Low Back Pain

Do you suffer from low back pain? Vail Integrative Medical Group may be able to help. Approximately 5.4 million Americans are disabled annually due to back pain and up to 85% of the U.S. population will have back pain at some time in their life. And did you know that spine surgery is the second leading surgical procedure in America, with the total number in the U.S. approaching 500,000 per year. Lastly, an estimated 93 million workdays are lost each year due to back pain. What, if anything, can be done about this growing epidemic? 

               

Common conservative treatment for low back pain includes chiropractic, physical therapy, massage therapy and acupuncture. Another form of treatment is Vax-D or vertebral axial decompression. What is Vax-D you ask? It is a patented non-surgical therapy proven to be as much as 88% successful at treating chronic low back pain. This pain may be caused by bulging, herniated or degenerative discs leading to sciatica. Even post-surgical patients and those suffering from stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal) have reported significant pain relief from Vax-D treatments.

How does Vax-D work? Vax-D lengthens and decompresses the spine, reversing high intradiscal pressures through the application of negative pressure via a patented “slow ramp-up” process. This reversal of pressure creates a vacuum inside the discs, which takes pressure off of pinched nerves and helps to reposition bulging discs and pull extruded disc material back into place. Nutrients, oxygen and fluids are simultaneously drawn into the disc to create a revitalized environment conducive to healing.

Vax-D stimulates the body’s repair mechanism, providing the building blocks needed to actually mend injured and degenerated discs. Vax-D’s process is the only patented treatment clinically proven to decrease disc pressures to the negative levels needed to facilitate healing.

A recently completed 2 ½ year study has demonstrated that Vax-D achieved a remarkable 88% success rate in the 283 chronic back pain patients studied. The patients selected for the study had failed at least two previous non-surgical treatments. The study also used pre and post MRI’s to determine the extent of the damage to the discs and showed actual reduction in disc herniation, rehydration of disc heights and improved lordotic curve after 6 weeks of 30 minute Vax-D treatments as well as their own tailor-made exercise program.

A typical Vax-D treatment regimen consists of approximately 20 sessions (5 days a week for 4 weeks). Some conditions require fewer visits, some require more.  Many patients report relief from their pain and other symptoms during the first few treatments sessions. Most experience dramatic pain relief after completion of their full treatment.
