In the world of pain management, spinal decompression has become a buzzword. But what does it truly mean? According to Dr. Pete Peduzzi at American Back Centers, not all treatments labeled as decompression are created equal.
Many practitioners claim they offer spinal decompression, but in reality, they may be using glorified traction devices that don’t address the core issue. To truly decompress the spine and promote healing, you need one of two options: surgical intervention or non-surgical therapy that creates negative pressure within the spine.
That’s where VAX-D therapy comes in.
VAX-D (Vertebral Axial Decompression) therapy is a non-invasive treatment backed by research published in the Journal of Neurosurgery. This groundbreaking method creates a vacuum-like effect, pulling fluids back into the discs, which helps relieve pain from compressed or degenerated discs. The treatment can also retract bulging or herniated discs into their proper position, offering real relief without the need for surgery.
Unlike conventional traction devices, VAX-D has been scientifically proven to:
- Create negative pressure in the spine.
- Help compressed discs regain fluid, making them healthy and hydrated again.
- Pull herniated material back into place without invasive surgery.
If you’re suffering from chronic back pain, a bulging disc, or sciatica, VAX-D therapy offers a proven, non-surgical alternative that works at the root cause of your pain. Call American Back Centers today to find out how we can help you return to a pain-free life.
