Does Vax-D really work?

VAX-D therapy has been proven safe and effective in numerous clinical studies. Over 3000 patients per day are treated with VAX-D. The other so-called “decompression treatments” simply do not have published clinical trials proving that they can lower intradiscal pressure and result in positive clinical outcomes.

Is Vax-D covered by insurance?

Medicare and some insurance companies don’t cover VAX-D. Aetna considers it unproven and does not cover it through its managed-care and commercial plans [39]. Some companies cover it as a form of mechanical traction, for which they pay far less than the $150 to $300 per session charged by VAX-D providers.

What is a VAX-D machine?

VAX-D stands for Vertebral Axial Decompression. This is a breakthrough for the treatment of disabling low back pain and sciatica caused by degenerated and herniated disc disease. VAX-D is a patented technology that gently stretches the spine and decompresses discs.

Do spinal decompression tables work?

While traction, physical therapy, inversion tables and manipulation may reduce disc pressures to as low as 40 mm Hg, only spinal decompression has been shown to achieve negative pressures within the spine.

Who invented VAX-D?

A single session typically lasts 45 minutes. Allan E. Dyer, MD, PhD, who developed VAX-D, explains how the treatment “fixes” herniated disks, a frequent cause of lower back pain: “Your bones are separated by a cushion. That cushion is always under positive pressure, even at rest.

Is hanging good for your spine?

A dead hang may decompress and stretch out the spine. It may be beneficial if you sit often or need to stretch out a sore back. Try hanging with straight arms for 30 seconds to one minute before or after your workout for best results.

Is s9090 covered by Medicare?

The treatment combines pelvic and/or cervical traction connected to a special table that permits the traction application. Medicare has determined that There is insufficient scientific data to support the benefits of this technique. Therefore, VAX-D is not covered by Medicare.
