Back Pain
At Physicians Rehabilitation they also help people who suffer with chronic back pain using a treatment called VAX -D.
What is VAX-D and how does it work?
VAX-D is a non-invasive medical technology that stretches the spine and decompresses the spinal discs. VAX-D treatment is able to reduce the pressure within the spinal disc, thereby relieving the stress on inflamed and pinched nerves. In short, VAX-D breaks the cycle of pain caused by bulging and degenerated discs, and other spine related disorders, by eliminating nerve compression. By removing the cause of back pain, the body is allowed to naturally heal.
What spinal conditions can be treated with VAX-D?
. Herniated Discs
. Degenerative Disc Disease
. Sciatica
. Spinal Joint Arthritis
. Work-related Injuries
. Sports-related Injuries
. Post Surgical Patients
VAX-D works by reducing the pressure within the discs, not to zero, but to negative levels! No other device has been shown to reduce the disc pressure to these desired negative levels. It is this negative pressure that causes the disc bulging or to decrease in severity. This in turn reduces pressure on the VAX-D is easy, convenient and painless.
It is non-invasive so it does not have the pain, risks and complications that are associated with surgery, injections, and anesthesia. Patients will require an MRI prior to treatment to make sure no other serious conditions are causing their pain. Once treatment commences, many patients experience relief of their pain during the first several treatment sessions spinal nerves, which ultimately leads to less or no pain.
Neck Pain
If you suffer from neck pain you are not alone, as many people suffer from neck pain for many reasons. There are a number of triggers that can provoke your neck pain such as, a bulging disc, arthritis of the neck, trauma or an injury, worry and/or stress, improper sleeping positions, and overall poor posture on a daily basis whether sitting, standing, or laying down.
Among these common, everyday causes for neck pain, there is also the pain caused by traumatic events like auto accidents, such as whiplash; natural causes such as scoliosis; and also by osteoporosis. The pain may start with what most people call a “crick” in the neck that may progress into a painful, debilitating condition. If that neck pain becomes severe and it lasts for a long period of time, then it becomes chronic pain that needs urgent medical attention.. You can avoid expensive and painful surgery. Come see and learn what type of treatment you are a candidate for.
