IDD Therapy ยท Tanjong Pagar, Singapore
IDD Therapy in the CBD โ and the first thing we do is check whether it's not right for you.
Back In Health is an osteopathy-led clinic 3 minutes from Tanjong Pagar MRT. Since 2018 we've treated disc injuries, sciatica and spinal stenosis with IDD Therapy on the Accu-SPINA โ a defined 4โ6 week program, not an open-ended package.

Section 01 ยท Does it fit
IDD Therapy helps a specific type of problem. See if yours fits.
- Chronic back pain, neck pain, or sciatica that has lasted more than 6 weeks
- A diagnosed slipped, herniated, or prolapsed disc
- Spinal stenosis โ including if you've been told "nothing more can be done"
- Nerve pain that hasn't improved with physiotherapy, chiropractic, or injections
- You want to avoid surgery, but you want a real plan โ not endless appointments
If that's you, IDD Therapy is worth a proper look. If it's not โ for example, if your pain is muscular rather than disc-related โ we'll point you to the right treatment instead, whether that's with us or elsewhere.
Section 02 ยท Screening protocol
We turn some people away. Here's why.
IDD Therapy is safe and effective for disc-related problems โ but it isn't suitable for everyone, and a clinic that says otherwise is selling, not screening.
We do not treat you with IDD Therapy if you have:
- Osteoporosis or significant osteopenia
- Spinal fusion, artificial discs, or spinal implants
- A recent vertebral fracture
- Spinal tumours or metastatic cancer
- Pregnancy (for lumbar treatment)
We'd rather lose a booking than treat the wrong spine.
Every new patient is assessed against these criteria before we recommend a program. Where IDD Therapy isn't the right answer for your problem, we say so โ and point you towards what is.
Section 03 ยท The treatment
A targeted, computer-controlled spinal decompression program โ with a defined endpoint.
IDD (Intervertebral Differential Dynamics) Therapy uses the Accu-SPINA machine to gently draw apart specific spinal segments, reducing pressure on bulging or herniated discs and the nerves they're pressing on. The decompression force is calculated from your body weight and adjusted session by session, and the same process stretches the tight muscles and ligaments around the affected level, restoring mobility.
Unlike generic "decompression tables," IDD targets the exact spinal level causing your problem, at a precise angle, with progressive force โ which is why it's used for cases that haven't responded to standard traction, physiotherapy, or injections.
What it feels like. Most patients feel a comfortable stretch โ many fall asleep during sessions. Mild post-session tenderness, similar to after a massage, is normal and settles as treatment progresses. A cold compress is applied after each session.
Section 04 ยท The straight answer
A typical program runs 4 to 6 weeks. That's the plan we set on day one.
The exact number of sessions depends on your condition and how your body responds โ chronic problems that took years to develop don't reverse in a week. But you will never be sold an open-ended block of treatment.
-
Step 01 ยท Week 0
Assessment
Hands-on diagnosis and screening against the exclusion criteria above.
-
Step 02 ยท Mid-program
First review point
Scheduled from day one. We assess honestly whether it's working. If you're not responding, we say so.
-
Step 03 ยท Weeks 4โ6
Program completion
A set number of sessions, agreed at the start, with rehab exercise work running alongside.
-
Step 04 ยท Discharge
Defined endpoint
A finish line, not a subscription. Maintenance is your choice, not the default.
If you're not responding by the review point, we tell you โ and discuss alternatives rather than extending for the sake of it.
Section 05 ยท Why here
Clinician-led, not sales-led.
Back In Health is run by osteopaths and physiotherapists working as one team. Our approach starts with hands-on assessment and diagnosis โ IDD Therapy is a tool we prescribe when it fits your problem, not a product we fit every patient into.
Where hands-on osteopathic treatment, physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, or dry needling is the better answer, that's what we'll recommend. And because both disciplines are under one roof, your IDD program can be paired with the rehab exercise work that keeps the results after the machine has done its job.
The CBD's spine clinic since 2018
We're 3 minutes from Tanjong Pagar MRT at SBF Medical Suites, 160 Robinson Road. Most of our patients are desk-bound professionals from the surrounding business district โ the long-sitting, screen-hunched spines that Singapore's working week produces. We know the pattern well.
Specific technology, named openly
We run IDD Therapy on the Accu-SPINA. We publish what the machine is, how it works, and its limits, because "advanced technology" with no name is a red flag, not a reassurance.
Transparent pricing
Our prices are published on this website โ see the Prices page. No consultation-room reveals.
One team, several tools
Osteopathy, physiotherapy, shockwave therapy and dry needling all sit under the same roof, so the recommendation you get isn't limited to the one machine we happen to own.
Section 06 ยท Your next step
Not sure if IDD Therapy is right for your problem?
A qualified practitioner will call you, ask about your symptoms and history, and give you an honest answer: whether IDD is worth pursuing for your case, whether something else would serve you better, or whether you should see a doctor first.
No obligation, no hard sell โ the screening is the service.
