Vax-D Spinal Decompression

spinal decompression

Each of us is constantly in a battle—with gravity! A frequent casualty is the soft disc material that separates each spinal bone. Pressure from our weight, trauma from an accident, and other causes can increase the pressure on a weakened disc. In extreme cases, the soft pulpy center of the disc can escape. That can be quite painful.

We use the latest technology to help relieve the effects of back pain due to herniated and degenerated discs. Since discs are constantly under weight-bearing pressure they can be slow to heal. By gently "stretching” your spine we help relieve pressure and enhance healing. This is called disc decompression.

"VAX-D” stands for “Vertebral Axial Decompression.” It’s a non-invasive spinal decompression treatment for a number of low back disc-related conditions including: herniated discs, bulging discs, ruptured discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, and spinal arthritis.

First, we'll have you lie down on our specially-equipped table. Then ever so slowly we'll stretch your spine. And then relax it. Stretch. And relax. Our clients tell us this tractioning process is quite pleasant, even relaxing. Because they don’t feel the need to "guard” their spine each sequence helps the damaged disc receive nourishment, expel cellular waste, and enjoy reduced pressure. Then healing can begin.

While not a cure-all, our decompression table is highly effective especially when combined with chiropractic care. Our experience shows that decompression can be helpful in supporting cases prone to frequent relapses. Do you know someone we could help overcome the effects of gravity?

Richard Asks some important questions of interest to Naples residents - Chiropractor Naples Richard Asks...

What's the difference between chiropractic and medicine?
Medical treatment focuses on the disease or the symptom. Chiropractic focuses on the person with the disease or the symptom. Medical treatment usually involves changing blood chemistry. Chiropractic involves restoring nervous system integrity. Medical doctors prescribe medicine. Chiropractors adjust the spine—a common source of nervous system interference.
What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Naples folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
