What Is IDD Therapy® Spinal Decompression?

Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy® is the most advanced form of non-surgical spinal decompression available — delivered exclusively through the Accu-SPINA® System, the only device of its kind in the world.

Unlike simple traction devices, the Accu-SPINA uses fully computer-controlled, mathematically precise treatment forces to target individual spinal segments — isolating exactly the disc or vertebra causing your pain. A patented sinusoidal oscillation mechanism gently pumps each disc, drawing in water, oxygen, and nutrients that promote natural healing and disc rehydration.

This process creates negative intradiscal pressure, effectively "pulling" herniated or bulging material back away from the nerve root — providing relief that standard traction, physical therapy, and even surgery often cannot achieve.

The Accu-SPINA® System

Manufactured by North American Medical Corporation (Marietta, GA), the Accu-SPINA is the only device in the world licensed to deliver IDD Therapy® protocols. It holds FDA 510(k) clearance as a Class II medical device, is on permanent exhibit at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, and has achieved a 92% success rate in independent clinical studies for patients whose doctors recommended surgery.

IDD Therapy® — How It Works

Conditions That Respond to Spinal Decompression

IDD Therapy is particularly effective for disc-related conditions — the underlying cause of most chronic back and neck pain. If you have been diagnosed with any of the following, spinal decompression may offer significant relief where other treatments have failed.

Herniated Disc Bulging Disc Degenerative Disc Disease Sciatica Lower Back Pain Neck Pain Spinal Stenosis Facet Syndrome Radiculopathy (Nerve Pain) Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Numbness / Tingling in Arms or Legs

IDD Therapy has a 92% success rate for patients who had been recommended for surgery — many avoid the operating room entirely.

🎯

Precision Targeting

Isolates specific spinal segments for treatment — impossible with manual therapy alone

💧

Disc Rehydration

Patented oscillation pumps fluids, nutrients, and oxygen back into damaged discs

🧠

Computer-Controlled

Mathematically precise treatment forces — no guesswork, consistent results every session

🔬

Clinically Proven

Over 20 years of clinical use with 1+ million treatments and exemplary safety record

Your Decompression Session, Step by Step

1

Evaluation

Dr. Etemadi reviews your imaging (MRI/X-rays) and identifies the exact spinal segments responsible for your pain. A personalized treatment protocol is created.

2

Positioning

You lie comfortably on the Accu-SPINA table. Advanced ergonomic harnesses ensure safety and precision targeting of the affected spinal level.

3

Decompression

The computer applies a gentle sinusoidal distraction force — gradually increasing and releasing to produce the patented oscillation effect. Sessions last 30–45 minutes.

4

Recovery

Most patients feel immediate relief after initial sessions. A typical course is 20–24 sessions over 6–8 weeks. Improvement continues as discs heal and rehydrate.

Dr. Timothy Kremchek, renowned sports medicine specialist, recommends: "Start with Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression before turning to surgery."

Questions About Spinal Decompression

Is IDD Therapy the same as regular traction?
No — they are fundamentally different. Standard traction applies a linear pull with no precision. IDD Therapy uses a patented sinusoidal waveform with computerized oscillation at peak distraction. This oscillation is clinically proven to create disc rehydration through a pumping effect — something no standard traction table can replicate. It's also the only treatment shown by videofluoroscopy to create actual space between vertebrae.
Will I feel the decompression during treatment?
The treatment is typically very comfortable — most patients actually fall asleep. You'll feel a gentle stretching sensation as the table creates distraction forces. If any discomfort occurs, Dr. Etemadi adjusts the protocol immediately. The sinusoidal waveform is specifically designed to minimize muscle spasm, making it far more tolerable than older traction approaches.
How many sessions are needed?
A standard IDD Therapy course is 20–24 sessions over 6–8 weeks, typically 3 sessions per week. Many patients feel improvement within the first 6–8 sessions. The full protocol allows the disc to progressively rehydrate and heal, with results continuing to improve for several weeks after the course is complete.
Does insurance cover spinal decompression?
Coverage varies. Some insurance plans cover portions of spinal decompression therapy. Our team will help verify your benefits before your first appointment. We also offer flexible self-pay packages to make treatment accessible.
Am I a candidate if I've already had back surgery?
Possibly — many patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome respond well to IDD Therapy. However, candidacy depends on the type of surgery, implants present, and your current condition. Dr. Etemadi will conduct a full evaluation before recommending treatment.

Don't Let Disc Pain Control Your Life
