Overview
Understanding VAX-D Therapy
VAX-D therapy applies a smooth, cyclical stretch to the spine using a computer-guided programme. The intent is to reduce pressure within targeted spinal discs and ease irritation of nearby nerves, which may be contributing to back pain, neck pain or symptoms that travel into the arms or legs.
During a session you remain clothed and lie comfortably on the VAX-D table while a supportive system gently holds you in position. The programme gradually builds and releases tension so the treatment feels controlled and, for most people, relaxing.
VAX-D is one part of a considered plan. Following your assessment we will explain whether VAX-D is suitable for you and how it may work alongside exercise, chiropractic care or Class IV laser therapy.
