Aderholdt Back Pain Institute Dr. Craig Aderholdt has always been a leader in the field of chiropractic medicine, and he is one of the few chiropractors in the state offering the near-miraculous treatment called VAX-D.

Chiropractic adjustments alone can relieve many patients pain, says Dr. Aderholdt, but for select patients suffering from sciatica or bulging, herniated or degenerated discs, VAX-D is extremely effective.

VAX-D, short for vertebral axial decompression, is a patented decompression technique, approved by the FDA, to remove pressure on lumbar discs. The treatment involves the use of a special computer-controlled table on which the patient relaxes while the therapist uses specific tension and pressure changes from VAX-D's computer to focus the decompression on the problem area. The VAX-D table then creates a powerful vacuum within the patient's disc space, pulling it gently back to its correct position and allowing spinal fluid to flow back into the disc. In this way the back can begin healing itself.

Peer-reviewed studies show more than 88% of patients who go through the treatment find long-term pain relief," says Dr. Aderholdt. VAX-D can alleviate lower back pain, numbness and tingling, and pain radiating down the leg, and reduces many chronic back pain sufferers' need for surgery. Dr. Aderholdt is the exclusive provider in Manatee County certified to perform this FDA-approved, patented, state-of-the-art medical decompression technique that could eliminate the risks and complications related to surgery.

NBA player Tracy (T-Mac) McGrady of the Orlando Magic is one of VAX-D's more famous success stories. T-Mac suffered the pain of two bulging discs that would have ended in surgery and taken him out of the game for a season had he not learned of VAX-D.

Dr. Aderholdt treats acute and chronic back pain in patients of all ages, including athletes like NBA players, golfers, tennis pros, even local and national sports teams. He graduated from Penn State and received his Doctor of Chiropractic cum laude from Life University School of Chiropractic in Marietta, GA. He moved here from St. Petersburg in January 2001 to help introduce the amazing VAX-D to Manatee County residents.

Dr. Aderholdt was voted #1 Chiropractic Physician for the Herald's People's Choice Awards for 2008.
