FAQs

VAX-D Therapy, which stands for Vertebral Axial Decompression, is a non-invasive treatment approved by the FDA for chronic back and neck pain. It's designed to address conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. The therapy works by applying gentle stretching to the spine, which helps alleviate pressure on spinal discs and nerves.

During a VAX-D session, patients lie comfortably on a specialized table. A patented system then gently decompresses the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This process can help retract bulging or herniated disc material and promote nutrient flow to accelerate healing.

VAX-D Therapy is effective for several spinal conditions, including herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet syndrome, low back pain, neck pain, failed back surgery syndrome, and spinal stenosis.

VAX-D Therapy is considered safe. It has received FDA clearance and has been in use for over 25 years, with numerous successful patient outcomes. The treatment is non-invasive, does not involve drugs or injections, and does not require surgery.

Most patients describe VAX-D Therapy as a relaxing experience. During treatment, you may feel a gentle stretching sensation in your lower back or neck, depending on the area being treated. Some patients even find the experience so comfortable that they fall asleep during their sessions.

A typical VAX-D session lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. The full treatment plan usually consists of 20 to 30 sessions, though this can vary based on the individual's condition and their response to the therapy.

Many patients report experiencing improvements within the first few VAX-D sessions. However, long-lasting relief is typically achieved after completing the entire course of therapy as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

A referral is not necessary to receive VAX-D Therapy. Patients can directly schedule a consultation with our medical team to determine if this treatment is appropriate for their condition.

Insurance coverage for VAX-D Therapy varies depending on the provider and specific plan. Our staff can assist you in verifying your benefits and discussing available payment options during your initial consultation.

VAX-D Therapy may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions, including severe osteoporosis, spinal fractures, tumors or infections in the spine, and some types of surgical implants. A comprehensive evaluation will be conducted to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for this treatment.
