Can VAX-D Therapy be used with or after spinal surgery?
A. VAX-D therapy has been used in conjunction with percutaneous discectomy with very good results. It has also been used as a follow-up therapy for patients that continue to complain of post-surgical low back pain. The impression gained in these trials was that the dual approach seems to offer an advantage. This was especially true in those patients that have more than one level of herniation in which only the major segment was excised percutaneously.
