Authors' objectives
This report aims to assess the effectiveness of vertebral axial decompression therapy for chronic low back pain.
Authors' conclusions
Since there is currently insufficient evidence pertaining to the effectiveness of vertebral axial decompression (VAX-D) therapy, MSAC recommended that public funding should not be supported at this time for this procedure.
