Book a free telephone consultationNot sure if spinal decompression is suitable for you? We will discuss your symptoms first and let you know whether IDD Therapy may be an appropriate option.
Section 01 - Could it be suitable?
Could Spinal Decompression Be Suitable for You?
IDD Therapy may be considered for selected patients with:
- Persistent back pain, neck pain or sciatica
- A diagnosed slipped, bulging, herniated or prolapsed disc
- Degenerative disc changes
- Mild to moderate spinal stenosis
- Disc-related nerve pain or radiating symptoms
- Persistent spinal symptoms that have not improved with appropriate conservative care
Not every back or neck problem is suitable for spinal decompression. That is why we begin with a clinical assessment and review of your history, symptoms and relevant imaging where appropriate.
If IDD Therapy is not suitable for your presentation, we will explain why and discuss the most appropriate alternatives.
Section 02 - Safety & Screening
Spinal Decompression Is Not Suitable for Everyone
IDD Therapy may be appropriate for selected disc-related spinal conditions, but careful screening is essential before treatment begins.
We do not recommend IDD Therapy where there are contraindications such as:
- Osteoporosis or significant osteopenia
- Spinal fusion, artificial discs or certain spinal implants
- Recent vertebral fracture
- Spinal tumours or metastatic disease
- Pregnancy for lumbar treatment
Every new patient is assessed before spinal decompression is recommended. If IDD Therapy is not appropriate for your presentation, we will explain why and discuss other suitable options.
Section 03 - The Treatment
A Targeted, Computer-Controlled Spinal Decompression Programme
IDD Therapy, or Intervertebral Differential Dynamics Therapy, uses the Accu-SPINA system to apply controlled spinal decompression to selected lumbar or cervical levels.
The treatment parameters are adjusted according to the area being treated, your body weight, comfort and clinical response. The aim is to provide a gentle, progressive decompression programme while reducing unnecessary strain on surrounding structures.
IDD Therapy is typically used as part of a structured treatment plan rather than as a one-off session. Depending on your presentation, treatment may be combined with osteopathic or physiotherapy care, rehabilitation and exercise.
What does it feel like? Most patients describe a gentle stretching or pulling sensation during treatment. Sessions are adjusted to remain comfortable, and your response is reviewed throughout the programme.
Section 04 - The Programme
A Structured Spinal Decompression Programme With Regular Reassessment
IDD Therapy is usually delivered as a course of treatment rather than as a one-off session. The number and frequency of sessions depend on your presentation, clinical findings and response to treatment.
1. Initial Assessment
We review your history, symptoms, relevant imaging and suitability for spinal decompression before treatment begins.
2. Early Treatment Phase
Treatment parameters are adjusted according to your comfort, response and the spinal level being treated.
3. Progress Review
Your progress is reassessed during the programme to determine whether treatment should continue, be modified or be completed.
4. Rehabilitation & Completion
Where appropriate, treatment is combined with osteopathic or physiotherapy care, rehabilitation and exercise to support your return to normal activity.
The aim is not to keep treatment going indefinitely. We use regular reassessment to guide the programme and decide the most appropriate next step.
Section 05 - Why Back In Health?
Clinician-Led, With Osteopathy and Physiotherapy Under One Roof
Back In Health brings osteopathy, physiotherapy and rehabilitation together in one clinic. IDD Therapy is one part of that broader clinical approach, not a standalone treatment offered to every patient.
We begin with assessment and clinical reasoning. If spinal decompression is appropriate, it can be incorporated into a structured treatment plan.
If another approach is more suitable, such as osteopathic treatment, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, shockwave therapy, dry needling or high-intensity laser therapy, we can adapt the plan accordingly.
This also means your spinal decompression programme can be supported with hands-on treatment and progressive rehabilitation where appropriate.
Established in Singapore's CBD Since 2018
Back In Health is located at SBF Medical Suites, 160 Robinson Road, just 3 minutes from Tanjong Pagar MRT. We work with patients from across Singapore, including many people managing persistent spinal symptoms alongside demanding work and active lifestyles.
Specific Technology, Clearly Explained
We provide IDD Therapy using the Accu-SPINA system. We explain what the treatment involves, how the programme is structured and where its limitations lie, so you can make an informed decision about whether it is appropriate for you.
Transparent Pricing
Our current consultation and treatment fees are published on our website, so you can review the costs before deciding whether to proceed.
One Team, Several Treatment Options
Osteopathy, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, shockwave therapy, dry needling and high-intensity laser therapy are all available within the same clinic. This allows us to recommend the most appropriate combination of care rather than relying on a single treatment approach.
Section 06 - Your Next Step
Not Sure Whether Spinal Decompression Is Right for You?
Request a complimentary telephone consultation with one of our practitioners. We will ask about your symptoms, history and previous treatment and help you decide whether IDD Therapy is worth exploring.
If another treatment approach or further medical assessment appears more appropriate, we will explain that too.
