Our flagship non-surgical, computer-guided decompression for disc-related back and neck pain.
IDD Accu-Spina is a computer-guided, non-surgical spinal decompression system. IDD stands for Intervertebral Differential Dynamics. The table applies a gentle, precisely controlled pulling force to a targeted area of the spine, aiming to reduce pressure on spinal discs and the nerves around them.
Unlike general traction, the system is designed to focus on a specific disc level by adjusting the angle and amount of force. Many people find the experience relaxing, and sessions are fully clothed and drug-free.
Between each vertebra sits a disc that acts like a cushion. When a disc bulges or herniates, it may put pressure on nearby nerves. Decompression gently separates the vertebrae, which may create a negative pressure inside the disc. This is believed to support the movement of water, oxygen and nutrients into the disc and may help reduce pressure on irritated nerves.
The IDD Accu-Spina system adjusts the angle of pull so that force can be directed toward a specific spinal level. Combined with controlled oscillation, this is intended to help muscles stay relaxed so the decompression force can reach the disc rather than being resisted by guarding muscles.
Decompression is usually delivered as a series of visits rather than a single session. After a consultation and exam, Dr. Brad Cudnik will discuss whether decompression is appropriate for you and what a reasonable plan may look like. Every person responds differently, and your plan is reviewed as you go.
Every person is different. A consultation and exam help determine whether this therapy is a good fit for you.
Most people describe it as a gentle, comfortable stretch. Forces are controlled by the computer and adjusted for you. Let the team know right away if anything feels uncomfortable.
Traditional traction generally pulls with a steady force. IDD Accu-Spina is computer-guided and can adjust the angle and pattern of force to target a specific disc level, which is intended to help muscles stay relaxed.
It varies from person to person. Decompression is typically delivered as a series of visits. Your recommended plan is discussed after your consultation and exam and is reviewed over time.
No. Certain conditions may make decompression inappropriate. A consultation and exam help determine whether it is a reasonable option for you or whether another approach may be a better fit.
