The Truth About Having Surgery
“I found the VAX-D Treatments to be remarkably effective. At this point, I am pain free, I essentially feel the same as I did before I sustained the back injury, and I am able to sleep easily through the night. I am now back at work. I am quite sure that without VAX-D this would not have been possible.”
“I think that VAX-D Therapy has the potential to revolutionize the care of low back pain sufferers and avoid unnecessary surgery… I would feel almost unethical not sending a patient to VAX-D prior to an invasive surgical procedure if he/she was a candidate for VAX-D and had failed other conservative treatments.”
Lance Castellana M.D.
If you are considering back surgery, let’s take a good look at your options before you make this important choice. Surgery is able to accomplish two fundamental outcomes:
1. Decompressing a nerve root that is pinched
2. Stabilizing a painful joint
Surgery cannot literally “cut out” the problem that is causing so much pain. Surgery can only change the anatomy and remove tissue. It does not actually heal a bulging or herniated disc; it simply removes a portion of the disc.
Surgery physically alters the spine by removing all or part of the problematic disc. Although this can reduce the pressure on the nerve, and relieve the back pain, the surgery tends to place more stress on the healthy discs above and below. Complications from surgery can be severe and may result in debilitating conditions.
The number one reason back surgery is not effective is because the part of the disc that was removed is not, in fact, the cause of the patient’s pain! Studies show that almost 1 in 6 people have another operation within four years!
Now compare this to the VAX-D treatment.
VAX-D is a medical decompression technique that creates a powerful vacuum inside the discs of the lumbar spine. Precise measurements of tension and pressure allow the specially trained therapist to target decompression to the specific level of spinal dysfunction.
The negative pressure of the vacuum draws the herniated disc back into its proper orientation, draws nutrient-rich spinal fluid into the disc, and stimulates repair cells, effectively mending the disc.
There is no cutting, no scar tissue, no hospital time, and no long recovery time. VAX-D allows nature to perform the miracle of healing!
So the first thing you have to think of when you compare surgery to VAX-D is the difference between removing vital tissue compared to actually healing the disc itself and the effect this will have on the rest of your life. This is one of the intangible costs that you need to consider before you decide to have surgery.
There are also other costs to consider. How much pain will you experience? How long will you be out of work? How long before you can return to normal activities? How much therapy is required after the treatment? How much will co-payments be for the surgery, hospitalization, doctor visits, therapy, medications? How much have you spent on many of these already?
These things all have a cost in terms of both money and your overall quality of life. Use the chart below to evaluate your condition and compare the differences between VAX-D and surgery.

When you take an honest look at the comparisons above and take into consideration ALL of the factors, doesn’t it make sense to try VAX-D first? The differences are clear. Surgery is expensive in terms of risk, money, recovery, time off from work and how it will affect your back for the rest of your life.
What if you have already had surgery? The good news is that having previous back surgery does not disqualify you from VAX-D. (An exception to this is if you have fixed surgical hardware used to fuse the spine.) In fact, clinical studies show that VAX-D is as effective for patients who have had one or more back surgeries.
Comparatively, VAX-D is a low risk, low cost, and 70% effective alternative. In addition we are making it virtually risk free for you to come in and try it for yourself.

“I am most happy to say that now for the past 18 months, since completing my course of therapy, I have remained in remission, the numbness in my left foot has cleared and I am able to continue my medical duties as well as play golf and tennis several times a week.”
“I am the most grateful person on the face of the earth for having been directed to this non-surgical alternative to back pain treatment. It will be my legacy in life to bring this treatment to my hometown.”
