How is VAX-D different from traction?
A. Traction operates on a similar principle to VAX-D but is not as effective. Traction, in some cases, helps to stretch the lumbar spine and can reduce the pressure on the back from 75 mmHg to around 40 mmHg. In many cases, however, traction triggers the body’s normal stretch reflex and causes muscle spasms to occur that can actually worsen the pain. VAX-D’s patented Program Logic Control allows distraction pressure to be applied at computer precise timings that do not trigger the body’s normal stretch reflex, therefore preventing muscle spasm from occurring. This allows VAX-D to achieve far greater levels of distraction than previously thought possible. Because of these patented principles VAX-D has been clinically proven to reduce intradiscal pressure into the negative realms of -150 to -200 mmHg. This reduction in pressure creates a vacuum like state within the discs that helps the discs and joints to get back into their normal positions and actually helps the back to mend itself, n
