Back Pain; A New Therapy by Margot B

A new non-surgical treatment for back pain has been given clinical trials at

several teaching hospitals. These trials were done on people who had been

referred to a neuro-surgical department because other, non-surgical, treatment

had been ineffective.

This new therapy is ‘vertebral axial decompression therapy’ [VAX-D] and has been

issued a new U.S. patent. VAX-D is a therapeutic table, invented by Dr. Allan

Dyer, former Deputy Minister of Health, Ontario, and who is the pioneer in the

heart defibrillator research.

The VAX-D table has been proven to be a reasonably effective means of

decompression therapy for managing herniated and/or degenerative lumbar discs.

In the research trials, the degree of significant remission of symptoms attained

after 10 daily therapy sessions was 70 % - after other procedures, including

physical and chiropractic treatment, had failed.

A follow-up of patients, up to 12 months, did not find any unexpected level of

relapse.
