VAXD, or Vertebral Axial Decompression, is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure used to alleviate pain and symptoms caused by various spinal conditions. Specifically, VAXD focuses on the decompression of the vertebral discs in the spine.
The procedure involves the use of a specialized table and harness system that gently stretches and decompresses the spine. Through controlled repetitive movements, the targeted compression forces are relieved from the discs, reducing pressure on the spinal nerves, and potentially promoting the intake of nutrients into the disc tissue. This decompression aims to create a negative intradiscal pressure, allowing herniated or bulging discs to retract, facilitating the healing process.
VAXD is often utilized to treat conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and facet joint syndrome. It is considered a conservative treatment option and may be recommended to patients who have not responded to other forms of therapy.
The duration and frequency of VAXD sessions can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's response to treatment. Typically, a series of sessions over several weeks is recommended for optimal results. The procedure is usually administered by a trained healthcare professional, such as a chiropractor or physical therapist, who will tailor the treatment plan to suit the patient's specific needs.
Overall, VAXD aims to provide pain relief, improved mobility, and enhanced quality of life for individuals suffering from spinal conditions by effectively decompressing the vertebral discs and reducing pressure on the spinal nerves.
