Frequently Asked Questions About American Back Center LLC
What is VAX-D therapy?
VAX-D therapy, which stands for vertebral axial decompression, is a non-invasive treatment option approved by the FDA for chronic back and neck pain. It's designed to address issues such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. The therapy works by applying gentle stretching to the spine, which helps alleviate pressure on spinal discs and nerves.
How does VAX-D work?
During a VAX-D session, patients lie comfortably on a specially designed table. A patented system then gently decompresses the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This process can help retract bulging or herniated disc material and enhance nutrient flow to promote faster healing.
What conditions does VAX-D treat?
VAX-D therapy is effective for several spinal conditions, including herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet syndrome, low back pain, neck pain, failed back surgery syndrome, and spinal stenosis.
Is VAX-D therapy safe?

What does VAX-D feel like?
