In cervical decompression, a combination of traction and mobilization techniques are used to gently stretch and decompress the spine, creating space between the cervical vertebrae. This helps to ease pressure on the spinal discs, nerves, and other structures, allowing them to heal and function properly.
The non-invasive nature of cervical decompression means that it can be an effective alternative to surgery for many people. It can also be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as therapy & rehabilitation and chiropractic care, to achieve the best possible outcomes.
If you are experiencing neck pain, stiffness, or other symptoms related to cervical disc problems, contact Dr. Pedduzi to see if cervical decompression may be a suitable treatment option for you. He can help determine the best approach to treating your specific condition, and can provide guidance and support throughout the recovery process.

VAX-D: Published Credibility
The definitive reference textbook on “The Practice of Minimally Invasive Techniques,” published by the College of Physicians Publishing Division, has an editorial board comprised of several world-renowned orthopedic surgeons.
Chapter 35 of the 2005 edition of this text focuses exclusively on VAX-D. The summary concludes that, “VAX-D should not be considered traction in the traditional sense but as decompression. VAX-D is the only non-invasive treatment that has been proven to decompress the disc; with other traction devices, there has been only indirect proof.”
