Vax-D Spinal Decompression Therapy

Are you searching for non-invasive back pain relief without surgery? At Aligned Medical Group, we specialize in VAX-D spinal decompression therapy, a non-surgical spinal decompression treatment designed to alleviate chronic back pain and improve mobility. Whether you’re struggling with herniated discs, sciatica, or degenerative disc disease, VAX-D can help.

“I believe that anyone with a herniated or degenerated disc should try Spinal Decompression first, before surgery.” – Robert Channey, M.D. Former Assistant Surgeon General of the United States

What is VAX-D and How Does It Work?

VAX-D, short for Vertebral Axial Decompression, is an FDA-approved method that reduces spinal pressure and promotes the healing of damaged discs. VAX-D gently stretches the spine, creating a vacuum effect within the disc. This in turn helps to restore nutritive and lubricated fluids along with oxygen into dried disc tissue, rehydrating and repairing damaged discs. The therapy is relaxing and most patients fall asleep during treatments.

This advanced treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica and nerve pain
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Chronic lower back pain
  • Facet syndrome
  • Work-related Injuries
  • Sports-related Injuries
  • Post Surgical Patients

VAX-D is a drug-free and non-invasive solution that restores spinal health naturally without the need for surgery or medications.

What is the Procedure for VAX-D Spinal Decompression Therapy?

VAX-D therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve chronic and acute back pain. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

  1. Initial Assessment

We will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and use diagnostic imaging to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. This ensures an accurate diagnosis of conditions like herniated discs or sciatica.

  1. Preparation

You’ll lie comfortably on the VAX-D table, with a gentle harness securing your pelvis to maintain alignment and stability during treatment.

  1. Controlled Spinal Decompression

The computer-controlled system applies precise cycles of decompression and relaxation to your spine. This relieves pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, creating a negative pressure effect that helps retract bulging or herniated discs.

  1. Healing in Action

Controlled decompression improves blood flow and promotes the retraction of herniated or bulging discs, relieving pressure on spinal nerves, supporting natural healing. Many patients notice pain relief and improved mobility after just a few sessions.

  1. Treatment Duration and Frequency

Each session lasts 30–45 minutes. Most plans involve 3 sessions per week for 6–8 weeks, tailored to your condition and goals.

  1. Post-Treatment Care

After treatment, light physical activity, hydration, and lifestyle adjustments are recommended to support recovery. Using a back brace or neck support may also aid healing.

By following this tailored treatment plan, VAX-D therapy provides effective non-surgical back pain relief, helping improve spinal health and enhancing your quality of life.
