Understanding IDD Therapy
The IDD Technology
The Accu-SPINA machine provides non-surgical spinal decompression by applying precise, computer-controlled pulling forces. This targeted approach helps separate vertebrae and creates negative pressure within the discs to encourage healing.
Your Journey
A typical session lasts roughly 45 to 60 minutes. Treatments are gentle and many patients find them incredibly relaxing. While depending on your assessment, we usually recommend a structured course of sessions for the best results.
Collaborative Care
IDD Therapy functions perfectly alongside chiropractic, osteopathy, and physiotherapy. By decompressing the spine first, we create an optimal environment for complementary manual therapies to accelerate your long-term recovery.
Is IDD Therapy Right for You?
While IDD Therapy is highly effective for specific spinal issues, our clinicians will always carry out a full assessment to ensure it is the safest and most appropriate choice for your specific diagnosis.
Common conditions we treat at Sterling Spinal Wellness using IDD Therapy
Disc bulges, herniated or slipped discs
Sciatica (pain, tingling, or numbness in legs)
Chronic lower back or neck pain
Spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease
In cases where IDD Therapy is not suitable, we may recommend another approach such as osteopathy or physiotherapy to best support your recovery.
