Back pain is a prevalent condition that affects around 80% of adults at some point in their lives. In fact, it is one of the most common reasons of missed-work days while also being the sixth most costly condition in the USA. The back pain, for most individual is usually sudden – an outcome of muscle strain caused by lifting something heavy. However, it can also develop with age or result from conditions like arthritis, scoliosis, and osteoporosis.

Fortunately, some episodes of back pain are short-term and often resolve with lifestyle changes and painkillers. Below are some ways of treating back pain..

1. Take a diet that is considered anti-inflammatory or helps lower the inflammation levels in the body. Studies also show that processed and sugary foods can increase inflammation in the body, causing enhanced pain in the affected area. Instead, go for a diet that includes a variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish, and whole grains.

2. Although exercise may be turmoil for people with back pain, taking part in muscle strengthening workouts can help in reducing back and neck pain.

Unfortunately, the pain gets worse with time and becomes more frequent, making recovery a prolonged effort. In such cases, some doctors often recommend surgery to minimize the intensity of pain. However, surgery may not and is often not as effective as proclaimed. In fact, in many scenarios, surgery has been found to cause permanent disability due to nerve damage and blood clots.

What is VAX-D?
VAX-D or the Vertebral Axial Decompression is a unique, patented innovation of technology that promotes healing within the injured parts of your spine. The non-surgical method is safe and effective, minimizing the need of expensive, painful, and uncertain results of surgery.

During the procedure, the practitioner fits the patient in a pelvic harness and asks them to lie down – either face up or down on the VAX-D table. The upper body of the patient is then positioned on the stationary portion of the table, after which a slow, smooth tension is applied through a system. The VAX-D machine uses a special algorithm which precisely stretches your spine, hence relieving your back pain and making it so surgery is not needed.
