I had 33 sessions of vax-D and it was pure hell. It did not work for me. But it really probably depends on how bad your back is and how long it has been going on. Good Luck!

From what I have read on line about spinal decompression, it would appear that the treatment has not met the rigors of standard scientific testing to show that it is a successful form of treatment for what it is advertised to actually do.

It appears that most insurance companies do not pay for the treatment which leaves the patient paying out of pocket for something that really hasn't been proven to work.

You might want to read the info in the below links as to further information and analysis results of what the companies that manufacture these machines and the chiropractic community claim, based on their "sales pitch" results of success with this treatment.
