VAX-D - The back surgery alternative

VAX-D (Vertebral Axial Decompression) was developed by Dr. Allan Dyer, M.D., PhD in Pharmacology, former deputy minister of Health for Ontario, Canada.  He’s the same doctor who developed the heart defibrillator in the 1950’s.

This table is more than a traction table that reduces the positive pressure on the disc toward 0 mm Hg.  It creates a NEGATIVE 150-200 mm Hg pressure on the disc allowing a suction to occur (as proven and printed in the Journal of Neurosurgery, November 1994). This table has a 70% plus success rate with “Failed Low Backs” (as proven by the HGA Rio Grande Hospital Study in Texas).  The most recent outcome study involves 778 patients with herniations and degenerated discs.  Results demonstrate a 71% success rate (Neurological Research April, 1998 pages 186-190).

The VAX-D changes the metabolism of the disc by making the disc that is typical "anaerobic" to "aerobic" up to 2 hours after treatment.This oxygenates and hydrates the disc and creates a  healing effect. The VAX-D also acts like a vacuum and creates a negative pressure inside the disc sucking the nucleus pulposis back to the center of the disc. Anions cross the disc barrier. Drugs are negatively charged (cations) which usually do not cross the disc barrier
 
The VAX-D is the only decompression table that is FDA approved to prove that "decompression" can decompress the disc.
