Back pain problems are extremely common in the United States. Millions of people across the U.S. suffer from some form of back pain, sometimes it is debilitating, chronic, acute, and can be the result of several different causes. Most Irvine back pain is not severe or serious, and can be improved with a number of home remedies. Simply changing the way you sleep, walk, or what shoes you wear can affect the severity of your back pain. Moderate back pain can often be treated with applying heat or cold, or by taking pain medication. Other treatments for back pain can include physical therapy, exercises, acupuncture, epidural injections. In more severe cases of back pain, various types of back surgery are available, but this type of treatment is often looked to when all other treatments have failed.

Non surgical back pain treatment Orange County is the preferred method by most physicians. Since surgery has the ability to disrupt the natural biomechanical functions essential to preserve pain-free spinal mobility, most back pain patients are not ideal surgical treatment candidates. ?Failed back syndrome? can occur if one such poorly selected patient undergoes back surgery. That is why it is important to start less invasive treatments quickly and before resorting to any type of surgical approach.

One increasingly popular non-invasive treatment for chronic back and neck pain is known as VAX-D. An effective and safe procedure VAX D Irvine doesn't carry any of the risks associated with surgery, injections, or anesthesia. Time off work or in recovery is minimal, and resolution of symptoms can be long lasting. A new study published in 2008 showed that patients had significantly improved pain and disability scores at end of treatment, at 30 days and at 180 days post-discharge.

Today there is an entire industry of devices for spinal decompression Orange County, all based upon developments pioneered by VAX-D. Prior to the research on negative disc pressures with VAX-D (in 1994), non-surgical decompression did not exist. VAX-D Medical Technologies patented the process know as ?vertebral decompression?. VAX-D can relieve the pain associated with herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome and radicular (nerve root) pain. With this treatment patients can avoid the merry-go-round of drugs and non-specific treatments.
