Vax-D for Sciatica
Vax-D for sciatica was the very first popular version of modern
spinal decompression
which achieved recognition for really providing a true and permanent cure for some types of
sciatic nerve pain.
Vax-D is a wonderful therapy that caught my attention years ago, as I struggled to find a cure for my own
chronic sciatica
pain. Since then, the technology has evolved considerably and has become one of the hottest trends in back care.
What is Vax-D for Sciatica?
Vax-D is a decompression machine manufactured by Vax-D Medical Technologies LLC and used to treat
sciatica
which is caused by certain verified structural processes in the spine. The most common conditions treated with VAX-D are
herniated discs
and
degenerative disc disease.
This treatment gently stretches the vertebral bones, allowing the reformation of the intervertebral disc spaces in DDD patients and considerable shrinkage of herniations and disc bulges. Decompression using VAX-D is also used to treat some forms of idiopathic
back pain,
as well as pain due to certain
osteoarthritic
processes, such as facet joint syndrome. VAX-D stands for Vertebral Axial Decompression…
Vax-D for Sciatica Treatment
When patients are accepted in the VAX-D program, they will receive between 15 and 25 sessions over the course of a one month period. Many patients might be instructed to come everyday, while others might come 3 to 5 times a week. The particulars of the patient’s sciatica condition will decide the extent, location and duration of the
treatments.
Most sessions last for 30 to 45 minutes and should not cause any pain. In fact, most patients enjoy the feeling of decompression, after the initial nervousness of the first session passes.VAX-D demonstrates great results for permanently relieving pain from herniated and degenerated discs and slightly less auspicious statistics for resolving facet joint and osteoarthritic pain. A small minority of patients might need to return for follow up care at some time in the future, if their pain returns at a later date.
Vax-D for Sciatica Advice
VAX-D was the first modern decompression system I personally witnessed in action many yeas ago. Since then, I have enjoyed demonstrations of all the major systems, but still see the value of the VAX procedure, despite the fierce competition it now shares from the
AccuSpina
and especially the
DRX9000
systems. I recommend spinal decompression for patients with confirmed cases of structural disc pain. Remember, that many disc conditions are
misdiagnosed,
so it might be virtually impossible to get a confirmation of true spinal causation… It is also a great treatment option for patients who will not accept the explanation of
ischemic sciatica
pain, which is by far more common than any spinal source. Spinal decompression is always preferable over surgery and offers permanent results in most patients. The best point is that the treatment is finite and only will take a short time to complete. No ongoing loss of time or continual hemorrhaging of money here… On the downside, the treatment is not cheap and might not be covered under all medical insurance plans. Still, as far medical sciatica treatments go, this one gets a thumbs up virtually every time…
