At Reflex Spinal Health in Reading, we believe in staying at the cutting-edge of non-surgical spinal care. That’s why we are thrilled to launch IDD Therapy® (Intervertebral Differential Dynamics) using the state-of-the-art Accu-SPINA® System. For anyone suffering from persistent back or neck pain—especially due to bulging or herniated discs, trapped nerves, or degenerative changes—this represents a significant advance in what non-invasive treatment can achieve.
What is IDD Therapy?
IDD Therapy at Reflex Spinal Health is more than just another spinal decompression option (VIDEO of the machine on our IDD Therapy website page). It is a computer-controlled, precision-guided treatment that targets specific spinal levels to relieve pressure on affected discs. Unlike general traction or manual therapies, IDD Therapy is designed to mobilise, decompress, and gradually restore disc health through carefully programmed protocols that include gentle distraction and movement. These protocols are developed by teams of neurosurgeons, orthopaedic specialists and rehabilitation professionals.
Patients often see improvements in pain, flexibility, and function, including with conditions such as bulging/herniated discs, facet joint syndrome, chronic neck or lower back pain, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. At Reflex Spinal Health, our IDD Therapy service is aimed at people who have tried standard conservative treatments (chiropractic, physiotherapy, osteopathy, corrective exercise) but still have persistent symptoms.
Meet the Accu-SPINA® System
What sets IDD Therapy apart—and why Reflex Spinal Health is excited to offer it—is the Accu-SPINA
Our New Accu-Spina Spinal Decompression machine at Reflex Spinal Health
System, the only device certified to deliver true IDD Therapy treatment.
Some of its standout features:
-
Precision targeting: The system can isolate individual spinal segments (such as lumbar or cervical) where the problem lies. That means more precise unloading of damaged discs and nerves.
-
Advanced waveform & oscillation modes: The Accu-SPINA can deliver different waveforms—sinusoidal, triangular, square—and a patented oscillating secondary waveform. This oscillation helps mobilise adjacent soft tissues, reduces muscle spasm, encourages fluid exchange, and provides nutritional support for the discs.
- Computer-directed control & feedback: Every treatment is guided and monitored, ensuring the forces applied are correct, safe, and reproducible. This makes the therapy both safer and more effective.
How Treatment Works & What to Expect at Reflex Spinal Health
When you come in for IDD Therapy at Reflex Spinal Health:
-
Assessment – We begin with a detailed evaluation: what your symptoms are, any imaging or scans you may have, plus a physical examination to identify which spinal levels are involved.
-
Personalised treatment plan – Based on that assessment, we design a series of treatment sessions (often around 20 or more) using the Accu-SPINA machine at specific angles, pressures, and waveforms to best address your condition.
-
Session experience – During a session, you’ll rest on the Accu-SPINA table while the machine gently applies distraction, oscillation and mobilisation. Many patients feel a stretch or relief of pressure, sometimes even after the first few treatments. However, some soreness or temporary discomfort isn’t unusual as your spine starts to adjust.
- Ongoing care – As the sessions progress, improvements in pain, movement, and posture are expected. Alongside IDD Therapy, supportive care (exercise, soft tissue work, ergonomics) may be used to maximise results.
Why This Matters
Persistent spinal pain isn’t just uncomfortable—it affects everyday life: sleep, work, mood, and mobility. Many people delay or fear surgery, sometimes turning to injections or strong painkillers that may have side effects or only provide temporary relief. IDD Therapy with Accu-SPINA offers a compelling alternative: non-invasive, controllable, focused on healing the disc and spinal structures rather than just masking symptoms.
At Reflex Spinal Health, we’re committed to offering this level of care for our community in Reading. The addition of Accu-SPINA enables us to reach deeper, more precisely, and help patients who previously thought their options were limited.

-

-
Bulging or herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or related spinal conditions;

No contraindications (we will screen carefully);
Then IDD Therapy at Reflex Spinal Health might be a game-changer for you.
