cure back pain

Accu-Spina

The Accu-Spina is another machine which performs spinal decompression therapy. The machine is designed and built by the North American Medical Corp. This particular machine uses a patented process known as IDD or Internal Disc Decompression. IDD creates a vacuum effect, also known as negative pressure, inside bulging or herniated discs. This vacuum helps to restore the disc to its original shape, shrinking the herniation and creating a healing environment.

Accu-Spina Therapy

The machine is used for the treatment of several spinal conditions including:

* Herniated Discs

* Degenerative Disc Disease

* Facet Joint Syndrome

* Sciatica

* General Lower Back Pain

The treatments last about 25 minutes and should not be painful or stressful to the patient. Many patients report feeling a sense of relaxation during treatment and some feel immediate back pain relief. The average patient will receive 20 sessions over the course of approximately 6 weeks. Some patients might require follow up sessions throughout their lifetime, if symptoms return.

Accu-Spina Results

Spinal decompression demonstrates very good treatment results for appropriate indicated conditions. Treatment with this method of decompression is no exception to the rule. The machine boasts an 86% success rate for symptomatic resolution. The results are better for disc conditions than for facet joint syndrome. The theory behind the decompression process makes sense, unlike many other treatment modalities. This is a refreshing change in the sometimes senseless way in which medical science has treated back pain.

Accu-Spina Machine

The machine itself is a marvel of technology, employing the latest computer controlled programmable decompression systems. The patient is fitted with custom harnesses and loaded into the machine to be treated in a supine position. The doctor or technician will program the machine to treat the specific area of pain and the precision is simply amazing. Patients are even entertained during treatment using the built in CD/DVD player. It is a nice touch… The machine is distributed exclusively through the Adagen Miami Corporation.

Recommendation on the Accu-Spina System

I am a fan of spinal decompression for patients who suffer from true physical disc pain conditions. I do not see the same long term benefits in facet syndrome patients, but the results are acceptable. When compared to the cost, risks and poor results of back surgery, I think spinal decompression is a miraculous technology! I would always advise a patient to consider decompression before even thinking about surgery. The cost of the program is fair and the results are generally good.

Remember that many patients actually suffer from psychosomatic back pain which can not be cured by any physical treatment modality, except through temporary placebo effect. One thing I particularly like about the products’s website was the mention of a patient’s attitude being important to a positive treatment result. This is a start in accepting the mind’s ability to influence the physical body and therefore gets bonus points in my book…
