Introduction
Low back pain (LBP) has become one of the most significant medical and socioeconomic problems in today’s world. The statistics on the magnitude of the problem are overwhelming and the number of chronic back cases continues to grow each day. In fact, low back pain related to work is the most common complaint presented to primary care physicians and worker’s compensation.
Treating a patient with chronic low back pain can often be one of the most challenging situations for physicians. In the majority of patients, acute back pain symptoms resolve on their own in one to two months. Those that fail to resolve are then routinely referred to orthopaedic or neurosurgeons. However, patients like yourself are becoming more educated about their condition and are seeking out non-invasive treatments such as VAX-D.
Most chronic back pain is caused by damage to the discs in the lower back which act like cushions between the bones. This leads to sciatica, back pain, leg pain, leg cramps, and a host of other symptoms. The problem has always been finding a way to treat discs without doing something invasive, like surgery.
