VAX-D Spinal Decompression
Vertebral Axial Decompression
VAX-D, short for Vertebral Axial Decompression, is a patented, non-surgical therapy for low back pain and sciatica. It has been shown in clinical studies to be an effective, conservative treatment for bulging, herniated, or degenerative discs, and facet syndrome. Even post-surgical patients and those suffering from certain types of stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal) have reported significant pain relief from VAX-D treatments. Over a series of relaxing treatment sessions, patients experience powerful pain reduction and healing. Some even notice an improvement in their symptoms after the first few treatments!
VAX-D-not to be confused with linear traction-lengthens and decompresses the spine. High intradiscal pressures are reversed, achieving negative pressures via a patented slow ramp-up process. Negative pressure creates a vacuum inside the discs, which not only takes pressure off of pinched nerves, but helps to reposition bulging discs and pull extruded disc material back into place.
Spinal experts surmise that nutrients, oxygen, and fluids are drawn into the disc, stimulating the body’s repair mechanism to provide the building blocks necessary to mend injured discs. VAX-D’s process is the only patented treatment clinically proven to decrease disc pressures to the negative levels needed to facilitate healing!

Modern equipment, no downtime
The Miracle Wave® | Piezo
What is Miracle Wave?
Shock wave therapy (also known as ESWT) is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity sound waves (acoustic pulses) to help promote healing faster and more effectively – with no downtime. It is a therapy used worldwide in the field of sport’s medicine and physical therapy.
Shock wave therapy transmits high peak acoustic pressure waves to promote and accelerate healing for chronic and subacute conditions. Research supports shock wave therapy as an effective treatment for various soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal pain and mobility issues.
Biological benefits include
- Reduce pain faster
- Improve range of motion
- Increase blood flow and micro circulation
- Stimulate tissue remodeling and neovascularization
- Remodel fibrotic tissue and release trigger points
- Reverse chronic inflammation
- Increase nitric oxide (NO)
- Activates stem cells and growth factors
Cellular Effects of K-Laser Therapy
During K-Laser Therapy the infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level and metabolic activity increases within the cell, improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane. This initiates the production of cellular energy (ATP) that leads to a cascade of beneficial effects, increasing cellular function and health.
K-Laser (Class IV)
Laser Therapy, or “photobiomodulation”, is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser Therapy has been widely utilized in Europe by physical therapists, nurses and doctors as far back as the 1970’s. Now, after FDA clearance in 2002, Laser Therapy is being used extensively in the United States.
VAX-D Spinal Decompression
The non-surgical solution for low back pain and sciatica. A FDA approved device that applies a measured amount of distraction force to the intradiscal spaces of the lumbar spine.
Hyperbaric Chamber
Super-saturating the body with oxygen drives the regeneration of damaged tissue, strengthens the immune system, and provides the body with greater opportunity for healing certain infections.

Back to Balance Wellness Center FAQs

At Back to Balance Wellness Center
VAX-D (Vertebral Axial Decompression) is a patented technology specifically for chronic low back pain and failed back surgeries. It is the only medical device that can provenly lower the pressure inside the spinal disc to “negative” levels, creating a vacuum effect.
Does the "pulling" sensation hurt?
Most patients find VAX-D very soothing. The machine is designed to move so slowly that it avoids the “guarding reflex” of your muscles. You will feel a firm, steady “stretching” in your low back, and many patients actually fall asleep during their 30-minute session.
Is it safe if I’ve already had back surgery?
In many cases, yes. VAX-D is often used for “Failed Back Surgery Syndrome.” As long as you don’t have certain types of hardware (like pedicle screws or fusion cages in specific areas), VAX-D can be a lifesaver for post-surgical pain. We always review your imaging (MRI/X-ray) first.
Does it really heal the disc?
By creating a “negative pressure” (vacuum) inside the disc, VAX-D helps draw in fluids, nutrients, and oxygen that the disc needs to repair itself. It also helps “suck” the herniated material back away from the nerve root. It is as close to “un-doing” a disc injury as technology allows.
Why do I need so many sessions (20+)?
