Vax-d History and Future
If you are having lower back pain, you should look into VAX-D treatment. This is a way to help your back pain without paying for or risking surgery. A full VAX-D treatment lasts for just under one hour, is delivered by a certified physical therapist, physical therapist assistant, or VAX-D technician supervised by a physical therapist and involves a table and a computer. During a treatment, you wear a pelvic girdle, and lay on the VAX-D table. The girdle attaches at the foot of the table, and you hold on to handles at the head of the table. Although it sounds medieval, it is in fact very helpful.
You should know that during a treatment you experience a strong, not painful, stretch of your lumbar spine. The stretch lasts for a minute; then you rest for a minute; then a stretch for a minute, and cycles like that, pull/rest, pull/rest, for about a half an hour. During treatment, intradiscal pressures reduce to negative levels in the range of –100 to –150 mm Hg. The significantly lowered intradiscal pressure creates something like suction within the disc, which then pulls the hernia or bulge back into the disc. This can be painful.
Additionally, it is helpful to know that this suction also pulls fluid and nutrient cells into the disc which help to the disc and enables it to heal. VAX-D stands for vertebral axial decompression. It is a non-surgical, non-invasive, spinal decompression, medical treatment for a number of low back disc conditions, including herniated, bulging, ruptured discs, degenerative disc disease, annular tears, Sciatica, internal disc disruption, and scar tissue. It is helpful to know as well, that VAX D was invented by Allan Dyer, M.D., Ph D and former Minister of Health in Ontario Canada.
Additionally, Dr. Dyer did the pioneering research that led to the creation of the ventricular defibrillator used to get a heart that has stopped to beat again. It is good to know that there have been fifteen publications on VAX-D. Eight are studies published in juried medical journals. All report that VAX-D was effective for about eighty percent of the patients treated, and the most recent study reports an eighty eight percent success rate. In most cases, chronic low back conditions are resolved within about thirty treatments. No other non-surgical procedure has been demonstrated to have this level of effectiveness.
Ever since 1989, VAX-D has been registered as a non-experimental, medical procedure by the Division of Surgical and Rehabilitative Medicine of the FDA. Its 510K registration is for decompression of the vertebral discs and facet joints. Keep in mind that VAX-D is a new medical procedure and the therapy has worked for many patients worldwide, are now being treated.
Also, awareness of VAX-D is growing rapidly as physicians and healthcare providers learn about it and the phenomenal results it has achieved. Consequently, VAX-D is now becoming the standard of care for chronic low back pain.

Back Pain Through Overweight – Are You Affected?
Nowadays, more and more people are becoming Overweight. The main reasons for being Overweight are a low energy expenditure and – first and foremost -wrong eating habits. According to the American Obesity Association (AOA) 64.5% of all adult Americans (about 127 million people) are categorized as being Overweight or obese. In many other developed countries the figures are similarly alarming. Overweight and obesity are about to turn into a global epidemic. To carry about extra weight with oneself can result in several serious health issues, such as back pain through overweight.
Most people are aware of the more commonly known causes for overweight, such as coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and colon cancer. The majority of people, however, is not fully conscious of the health risk posed by back pain through overweight. Overweight contributes to different symptoms – the most common symptoms are osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. If you are overweight and suffer from back pain you shouldn’t take your problem lightly. The first instance of back pain can be considered as acute or short-term pain. After about 2 month the complaint is becoming chronic and usually much more difficult to treat than acute pain.
Fortunately, compared to some more complicated causes of back pain, back pain through overweight is easy to identify. Even experienced sports physicians and doctors find it hard to exactly identify some causes of back pain, because the reasons can be of a very complex nature. However, if you are overweight you know the reason for your back pains. Your spine has the function to carry your body’s weight and to balance your body. When your spine is forced to carry a lot of weight, this can lead to structural compromise, poor posture and even severe damages. Back pain through overweight can easily lead to chronic complaints and you should take immediate action in order to get rid of your extra pounds.
The lower back is most susceptible to the effects of overweight. Lower back pain through overweight is caused by problems relating to your lumbar spine. Apart from overweight, back pain is also caused by an insufficient amount of exercises for your back and your pelvis base as well as by a sedentary resulting in a poor flexibility and weak muscles in your lower back. This leads to your lower back being increasingly curved because the pelvis shifts slightly forward. The result is chronic lower back pain, and if you want to solve your problem you have to lose your extra pounds. Back pain through overweight is definitely curable by keeping a healthy and balanced diet.
The most important factor when it comes to weight loss is to permanently integrate some significant changes into your eating habits. If you change some important key factors on a permanent basis you won’t fall into the yo-yo effect trap. Combined with some physical activity you will be able to lose weight once and for all. And by losing weight you will not only get rid of back pain through overweight, but you will also be able to prevent some serious health issues, such as coronary heart disease and colon cancer.

Upper Back Pain
Upper back pain is not as common as the lower Back Pain. But pain is pain. When the pain process starts, it is unbearable. The two common identified causes of upper Back pain are:
1. Muscular irritation (also known as myofascial pain)
2. Joint dysfunction.
There can be many other causes- injury, accidents, upper disc displacement and many more.
There is a great deal of stability and less motion in the upper back, which is thoracic spine region. So, spinal disorders are not very common. Conditions like herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and spinal disability can cause upper back pain, but such cases are few. This being the case, it is difficult to identify the causes for the upper back pain, precisely. Even an MRI Scan or CT Scan will not be of much help. So, it is not easy for the doctor to find a surgical solution, if the pain persists for a long period.
Modern amenities are not without the accompanying problems. A poor posture over a period of time creates strain in a particular region and that region happens to be your upper back, in case you are a computer operator and work throughout the day in front of your PC. Neck pain and shoulder pain are the comrades -in arms -of the upper back pain.
Here are some more causes of upper back pain:
1. Lack of strength in the particular region.
2. Injuries and damage to the muscles of the region caused through repetitive motions i.e. working in a particular machine in a particular manner. Take for example, hand molding machines. On an average a person does 1500 hand-operated motions in a working schedule of 8 hours.
3. Muscle strains and sports injuries.
Here again. You have to understand your back pain. With the nature of your work known to you, identify the area of your upper back, which is mostly strained. Do such yoga asanas, which help to ease the stress in that area. Do regular oil massage. If this is done in a systematic manner, there would not be any cause for the upper back pain to happen.
Because upper back is a big area, and also ‘muscle junction’, you have to adapt to a system of doing several stretching and strengthening exercises.
If you get the upper back pain, do not panic. Avoid hard medications and painkillers at any cost. Even best of the hospitals, the renowned specialists, have understood the virtue of physio-therapy. Follow it now, for your suffering is due to your past failings and negligence!
