Non-surgical spinal decompression made its entrance into the medical community in the mid 1990's with the FDA clearance of the VAX-D table. Since that time, numerous published, peer-reviewed studies have been conducted on this technology. These studies have demonstrated success rates from 74% to over 86%. Recently, there was a full chapter in a minimally-invasive spine surgery textbook dedicated to VAX-D.

Even though clinics that utilize different decompression tables claim the research applies to all tables, these claims are completely false. These claims are like saying that all 4-door cars get the same gase mileage and have the same reliability. Anybody who has ever shopped for a car knows otherwise! Unless the clinic can provide the research based upon the specific table they use, the claims cannot be validated. A great question to ask is "Where is YOUR research?"

Follow the link below to the VAX-D website. Here you will find all of the latest research availble on non-surgical spinal decompression and more specifically, VAX-D. Also, you can go to the National Institutes of Health "PudMed" site to view the abstracts of recent studies and articles.
