Spine Medical Center

Spine Medical Center is a medical clinic in Jackson, Mississippi, located at 953 North St Suite B. The clinic is a specialty medical center designed to treat chronic low back pain, and it is Mississippi's only provider of VAX-D Treatment (Vertebral Axial Decompression). VAX-D is a patented medical technology that gently stretches the spine and decompresses discs. It holds a rating of 3.00 based on 2 reviews.

VAX-D treatment works by reducing pressure in the lumbar spine, allowing fluids and nutrients to re-enter the disc, which reduces swelling and relieves pressure on pinched nerves. Patients are treated fully clothed and fitted with a harness around the pelvis while lying face down on a motorized table, which a certified VAX-D technician operates from a computerized console. Each session takes about 45 minutes, and most patients notice pain relief within the first few sessions. The total number of treatments averages between 20 and 25 sessions, though difficult cases may require additional sessions. VAX-D succeeds at treating bulging or herniated discs over 70% of the time, and clinical studies show it is successful in about 7 out of 10 cases. The clinic treats lumbar disc problems such as herniation and degenerative disc disease, as well as injuries from sports or work. Having back surgery does not prevent treatment unless fixed surgical hardware was used to fuse the spine. VAX-D is covered by most insurance policies, either in whole or in part.

The clinic sits on North Street, about 0.2 miles from North State Street and The Oaks House Museum. Baptist Medical Center is about 0.3 miles away, and Barack H. Obama Magnet Elementary School is about 0.4 miles away. Fire Station 3 and the Mississippi Supreme Court are each about 0.5 miles from the clinic.

For Jackson residents dealing with chronic low back pain, Spine Medical Center offers a non-surgical alternative built around a treatment it alone provides in Mississippi.
