What is Decompression Therapy?
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical, non-chiropractic therapy to relieve
conditions associated with spinal disc injuries.
Bulging discs, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, sciatica, neck pain, arm pain or
leg pain can often be attributed to your spine asserting pressure on your discs. Poor posture, bad body
mechanics, repetitive stress and acute injury can cause your vertebrae to compress your discs or to slip out of
alignment which then applies pressure to your discs.
Compressed discs lead to two primary problems. First, a bulge or herniation pressing on a nerve, causing chronic pain and discomfort; second, second, a hardened or "brittle" disc. The compressed disc is restricted from the flow of nutrients necessary for healing.
Spinal decompression therapy gently and effectively works to create an ideal environment for healing--an
environment in which both relief of intradical pressure and the flow of nutrients to the spinal discs occur.
Decompression therapy provides gentle decompression of the disc through the use of a decompression table.
During a decompression therapy treatment session, a patient is strapped to this decompression table so that as
it moves, it applies a distraction force to the targeted area of the spine (the compressed disc). The
distraction force is applied in between periods of relaxation. This force gently pulls the spine apart
elongating it and creating a small vacuum between the vertebrae which pulls the disc back into shape.
Over time, decompression therapy enourages a bulging or herniated disc to reshape itself, heal, and receive the flow of nutrients needed to fight off brittleness and future injury.
What makes VAX-D a Superior Decompression Therapy?
SURGERY-FREE
VAX-D Therapy is an advanced treatment option for many sufferers of chronic back and neck pain that addresses the biomechanical aspects of discogenic disease non-surgically.
The VAX-D system is currently being utilized by leading physicians and surgeons in the fields of Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, Pain Management, Occupational Medicine and Family Practice.
In hundreds of centers worldwide, VAX-D has been adopted as a primary treatment for the management of injury and discogenic disease.
While rare but severe injuries, disabilities, death, and need for re-operation are all things associated with surgery, they are not and have never been associated with VAX-D. After nearly two decades and thousands of treatments delivered daily, VAX-D has had no serious injuries associated with its use.
COST EFFECTIVE
A VAX-D treatment program totals approximately 1/10th the cost of back surgery.
DOCUMENTED EFFECTIVENESS
Numerous medical studies, articles, and text books support VAX-D Therapy. VAX-D Therapy has also been studied in comparison to traction therapy; regarding effectiveness of treatment, VAX-D Therapy significantly outperformed traction in the comparison studies. Click here to learn more.

Our VAX-D Success Rate has Always Been High
VAX-D is at the core of our program for treating severe low back conditions like herniated, bulging, “slipped” and degenerated discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, and spinal arthritis.
VAX-D is state-of-the-art spinal decompression. It is a non-surgical, non-invasive, and non-chiropractic medical protocol that decompresses lumbar discs and enables them to heal. It has been approved by the FDA since 1989, and its efficacy is backed by ten (10) research studies published in peer-reviewed, medical journals. At American Back Center we have been successfully treating patients suffering from low back conditions with VAX-D since 1993.
In addition, at our clinic, VAX-D is flanked by physical therapy, chiropractic care, clinical nutrition, acupuncture, and massage therapy. Our integration of services provides every VAX-D patient with a solid, team-led support system that addresses all key elements of their healing process.
Having our care-givers collaborate and share training, experience, and perspectives enables us to create an individualized program for each patient that integrates the professional training of our staff. This can frequently make the difference between success and failure.
As a consequence of our extensive experience and our ability to individualize each patient’s care, those who do VAX-D at The American Back Center certainly get better. From as far back as the early years of the clinic, a consistent 75-85 percent of back pain sufferers have credited The American Back Center with getting them out of pain, keeping them pain-free, and giving them back their lives.
