VAX-D vs. Surgery: A Case Study

VAX-D Over Surgery: Corporations and Employees Both Benefit

Dr. David C. Duncan, M.D., of Tulsa, Oklahoma, collaborated with a local oil refinery in an effort to compare the costs and benefits of VAX-D versus surgery for refinery employees suffering from low back injuries.  The 10-person case study revealed that, for the individuals studied, the cost of surgery was almost nine times more than the cost of VAX-D, and had less desirable recovery outcomes as well. 

Dr. Duncan, who has been using VAX-D in his practice for over 20 years, recalls how other patients have benefited from using VAX-D:

I treated a patient who was on disability and in a wheelchair with a cervical support.  She is now employed, and has no more need for a wheelchair, crutches, or a cane.  Over the last two decades, I have successfully treated multiple patients iwth lumbar disc disease.  Very few have gone on to surgery.  all things being equal, VAX-D is my first choice for chronic and semi-acute back injuries.”

VAX-D—not to be confused with linear traction—lengthens and decompresses the spine.  High intradiscal pressures are reversed, achieving negative pressures via a patented slow ramp-up process.  Negative pressure creates a vacuum inside the discs, which not only takes pressure off of pinched nerves, but helps to re-position bulging discs and pull extruded disc material back into place.

Spinal experts surmise that nutrients, oxygen, and fluids are drawn into the disc, stimulating the body’s repair mechanism to provide the building blocks necessary to mend injured discs.  VAX-D’s process is the only patented treatment clinically proven to decrease disc pressures to the negative levels needed to facilitate healing!

Over a series of relaxing treatment sessions, patients experience powerful pain reduction and healing.  Some even notice an improvement in their symptoms after the first few treatments!

Leading physicians in orthopedic medicine, pain medicine, neurology, and other specialties, in hundreds of clinics around the world currently utilize VAX-D’s patented technology. Many doctors choose VAX-D over other devices because it employs the original, patented technology from which non-surgical spinal decompression therapy was born.  VAX-D makes a commitment to back pain sufferers to offer an honest product backed by clinical research.  VAX-D gives you real science with real results.

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.”

I injured my back lifting a suitcase and initially found brief relief with traction exercises. Persistent pain led me to reveal a herniated L5-S1 disc. Starting VAX-D treatment immediately, my pain dropped significantly after the first session. A month into treatment, I traveled abroad for a semester, enduring a long flight and extensive walking across Europe pain-free, thanks to VAX-D and Dr. Pete.

Very friendly staff! Jennifer is very welcoming and efficient at the front desk. Then April, the doctors assistant is always friendly, no matter how busy she is. She knows her stuff and makes you feel comfortable throughout your treatment and checks on you to make sure all is well the whole time . Dr. Peduzzi is very knowledgeable, professional and he has helped me with my neck problems. He has me well in the way to recovery.

Extremely friendly staff, including the front desk and the chiro assistant. Polite, welcoming and they care about their patients. Dr. Peduzzi is very thorough when explaining any type of treatment. He makes sure that each patient is well taken care of. The other thing I love is that the practice strives to use all natural products when it comes to their supplements, creams, and sprays. Thank you for the amazing care.

Even though I have only been going to Dr. Peduzzi for a few weeks, I am so much better. They pain was just awful from disc compression. I could not get in or out of bed for weeks. I am out of the recliner and back to bed at night without the lightning bolt pain I had. I look forward to each treatment because it is relaxing and it is working.
