How does VAX-D therapy work to relieve pain and disability?
VAX-D utilizes a patented hand grip method of restraining the upper body while the pelvic harness is secured on the patient and attached to the movable tension meter housing. The divided table provides for progressive distraction of the spine between the pelvic girdle and the fixed shoulder girdle under controlled parameters determined by the computer logic controlled system. Decompression is achieved in the patient from the tenth thoracic vertebrae through the lumbar spine to the sacrum. Changes in intervertebral discs and facet joints of the lumbar spine exert pressure on vital structures resulting in pain, muscle spasm and inflammation. The VAX-D Decompression table relieves pressure and the factors causing pain through precisely controlled adjustments along the natural anatomical lines of the spinal column. It does so without applying undesirable twisting or rotational movements to the lumbar spine.
