Can Spinal Decompression Help Chronic Or Severe Neck Pain (PART I)???

For some reason not known my myself, it seems as if the discussion of significant neck pain – which may include radiation into the shoulder, upper back, arms or hands – is frequently neglected as a serious problem amongst our population.   However, my many decades in practice have revealed to me that this could not be further from the truth.   Severe neck problems seriously impair millions of people from living normal and productive lives.

Are you one of them? If so, there is very, very good news.   Because until relatively recently, there has been little hope for the neck pain sufferer with herniated, bulging or degenerated discs or joints.

Recent advances in the use of non-invasive, non-surgical methods of spinal decompression have proven to be quite effective for many.  In my opinion, as effective as non-surgical decompression (NSSD) has been for the low back disc sufferer, the results are even more impressive for the neck pain victim.

Specifically, use of the Vax-D protocol as well as application of three dimensional decompression technologies using Spinetronics Antalgitrak technology has been proving to have excellent outcomes for the vast majority of pain sufferers.

The VaxD advances include the use of a specially designed neck harness that reduces reactive muscle response (contractions) during the protocol.  In addition to having the most superior biofeedback to keep constant monitoring by the doctor of the patient’s response throughout the protocol, the VaxD not only decompresses in an axial direction but can be applied in a curve simultaneously that matches the specific shape of a patient’s neck curve.  The result is a more complete “de-weighting” or gravity free process getting better results with greater (virtually painless) treatment for the patient. This is an absolute MUST in achieving good results with spinal decompression.

The addition, three dimensional decompression methods allows me to place the patients neck in an infinite variety of  angles during the decompression session allowing for increased patient comfort and a “deeper” level of decompression.  Those with lateral herniation of the cervical spine respond extremely well to this procedure.

So, if your  neck pain sufferer, don’t give up hope.   There may be a solution.
