VAX-D Works, Given the Chance
With herniated and degenerated discs, the escaped nucleus pulposus may be completely retracted back into the disc by the tenth session, which can result in significant pain relief. However, pain reduction does not mean the disc has fully healed. A full recovery is vital in order to prevent re-injury.
Completing 20-25 treatment sessions (up to 45 minutes each) is the standard treatment protocol for a single herniation of less than one year. Older or more severe injuries may require even more sessions. This may seem like a lot of treatments, but VAX-D is working with your back as it heals, and that is a process that cannot be rushed.
Follow Through for Best Results
Like all wounds, disc wall tears need time to heal. An absence of pain does not mean the tears have healed, which is crucial to preventing the newly retracted nucleus pulposus from escaping and putting pressure back on the nerves.
When Can I Expect Results?
Many patients report a reduction in pain after their first few VAX-D treatments. Although this is a wonderful sign that VAX-D is working, the healing process is not finished! Quitting treatment early can result in a relapse of symptoms, as well as wasted time and money.
On the other hand, it may take several sessions before patients experience a noticeable remission of symptoms.
Why is this? Bulging and herniated discs may need several sessions to fully re-position themselves. You can be sure that your spine is responding to VAX-D’s vacuum effect, but results are not always immediate. Using time-tested protocols, VAX-D can be a tremendous tool for eliminating back pain!
