VAX-D for back pain Part 2

Can anyone undergo VAX-D treatment?

Sure, if you can pay for it. The people who offer this treatment now claim that VAX D is a first option to treat chronic low back pain. The following individuals are said to get the best benefit from VAX-D:

- individuals who have done miserably after surgery
(there are thousands of such patients) and continue
to have moderate to severe back pain
- individuals who have ongoing low back pain despite
undergoing 4-8 weeks of physical therapy
- anyone with low back or pain that is caused by a
herniated discs, arthritis, facet joint problem,
bulging disc, osteoarthritis, trauma or abnormal joint
anatomy

who should not undergo VAX-D?

Luckily the people who offer this therapy have some exclusion criteria. The following candidates should not undergo VAX-D

- THOSE WITH NO MONEY
- Females who are pregnant or breast feeding are not
candidates for VAX-D
- Any person who has recently been involved in trauma
and has a fracture of the spine. These individuals
should wait at least 6-12 months before undergoing VAX-D.
- Any individual who has undergone prior back surgery and
still has rods, pins or any type of hardware should not
undergo VAX D. the mucking around during VAX-D can loosen
up the residual hardware and make matters worse
- Individuals with thin or weak bone or anyone who has been
diagnosed with osteoporosis should not undergo VAX-D.
Individuals who have good bone but have been told that
they are just beginning to show signs of osteoporosis are
sometimes allowed to undergo VAX-D. However, if something
happens during the therapy – you will be told we warned you.
- Those individuals who have bone cancer or cancer which has
spread to the spine are not candidates for VAX-D.
- Anyone with an active infection of the spine or surrounding
bone should not undergo VAX D.
- Other individuals who should not undergo VAX D include
those with medical disorders like ankylosing spondylitis,
cauda equina syndrome, severe scoliosis, lordoisis,
or kyphosis.

How does VAX-D treatment relieve back pain?

VAX-D is performed as outpatient treatment. No one gets better with just one session. In the majority of cases, one needs anywhere from 12-30 sessions depending on the medical diagnosis. The number of sessions is usually determined by the provider of your health care provider. Further, the treatment sessions may increase but almost never decrease (just like plastic surgery).
