Spinal Decompression
Dynamic Medical Services has the VAX-D Therapeutic Table!
VAX-D (Vertebral Axial Decompression) is designed to relieve pressure on structures that cause low back pain. The procedure relieves the pressure by achieving decompression of inter-vertebral discs and facet joints scientifically managed by a programmable logic controller.

Benefits of VAX-D
The effectiveness of the VAX-D Treatment has been the subject of published clinical studies which highlight the following benefits achieved in the majority of patients:
- Relief of acute or chronic (long term) low back pain and/or associated leg pain or numbness, generally within 1 month
- Early return to work
- Non-invasive and nearly always safe
- No patient hospitalization
How is VAX-D Treatment Applied?
Patients with low back pain are first examined and then evaluated in accordance with the indications for VAX-D Treatment. Patient medical histories, X-rays and CT/MRI scans are carefully reviewed to determine whether the individual patient qualifies for the procedure. If a patient qualifies for VAX-D Treatment, an individual treatment plan (usually consisting of 20+ treatment sessions) is developed to meet their specific needs.
Each session begins by fitting the patient with a patented pelvic harness designed to achieve optimal decompression of the lumbar spine. The patient lies fully dressed on the VAX-D® device and is properly positioned by a trained VAX-D technician to maximize comfort and safety.
VAX-D) is a non-surgical procedure developed for the treatment of painful and disabling low back disorders
The controls and settings are adjusted in accordance with the individual patient’s treatment plan, and the procedure commences. The VAX-D device then applies precisely controlled tension along the axis of the spinal column to distract the vertebral segments and posterior facets of the lumbar spine and decompress the inter-vertebral discs.
Each distraction cycle, lasting 60 seconds, is followed by a relaxation cycle of similar duration.
