Avoid Surgery with VAX-D Therapy                                                                           

VAX-D TherapyMost people would like to avoid surgical intervention for any condition if possible.  VAX-D is a wonderful treatment that has been utilized in our office since 1993 in order to do just that – prevent surgery.  Vertebral Axial Decompression Therapy, commonly known as VAX-D, is an aggressive yet non-invasive treatment that was designed to treat acute and/or chronic low back pain and/or associated leg pain or numbness (sciatica) due to conditions such as disc herniations of the lumbar spine.  The treatment is safe and effective in preventing surgery and resolving symptoms in over 80-85% of patients that receive care.  No patient hospitalization is required and patients are usually able to return to work early.

For patients that suffer from disc herniations of the lower back, it is sometimes too late for them to respond to conservative spinal health care.  VAX-D is well known for its high success rate for these patients.  We have seen time and time again the ability of this procedure to provide relief from lower back pain and sciatica without the use of surgical intervention. 
                      
The only other VAX-D clinics in Louisiana are located in the Baton Rouge and New Orleans area.  It is not uncommon for patients to travel many hours to get this type of treatment. While there are other forms of available therapy that try to mimic VAX-D’s success, VAX-D’s track record has been proven time and time again.  Its’ success rate and track record speaks for itself.

VAX-D TherapyPatients with low back pain are first examined and then evaluated in accordance with any indications for VAX-D Treatment. Patient medical histories, x-rays and CT/MRI scans are carefully reviewed to determine whether an individual patient qualifies for this procedure. If a patient qualifies for VAX-D Treatment, an individual treatment plan (usually consisting of 30 treatment sessions over a two month period) is developed to meet their specific needs. Each session is carefully monitored and reviewed in order to maximize the potential benefits to the patient.  Our VAX-D patients also undergo routine chiropractic care and massage therapy as part of their VAX-D treatment regimen.  As the disc decompresses, we expect the patient to begin to respond better to his/her chiropractic adjustments as well.  After VAX-D therapy is complete, future chiropractic treatment plans are usually recommended on a supportive care basis in order to maintain their improvements.
