Easy Patient Loading

Computer controlled bed-positioning system with full tilt capabilities smoothly reclines your patient from standing to full horizontal recline at the press of a button. Dual synchronized bed columns exert a combined 8,000K force for efficient power- up to a staggering 425lb load. This means the bed can be raised, lowered, and tilted to meet The Americans with Disabilities Act standards and qualifies for tax credit

Constant Biofeedback

Constant Biofeedback with Adjustments up to 256,000 Times Per Second

Live tracking of actual treatment versus target treatment lets you see the quality of each session as you are administering.  Computer readings of force delivery constantly make adjustments to compensate for patient wiggling, etc., during treatment. Internal, medical-grade components use biofeedback to measure and adjust the tension levels at a minimum of 256,000 times per second for unparalleled accuracy.

Network Capability

Take the hassle out of patient scheduling!  You can link multiple Accu-Spina’s together so that any patient can be treated on any machine with full access to their treatment history. Built-in patient data backup and restore capability guarantees users the data will be available under any circumstance.

Three Layered Safety System

With the Accu-SPINA® System, you get multiple built in safety layers. First, there is the digital communication which is linked to our software and can shut down a session if the actual tension varies from the target tension by twenty percent for any reason.  A second layer of safety engineering is our medical grade motor which will “lock out” before it can create enough force to harm a patient. And the third layer in our design employs the mechanical safety of our electro-magnetic clutch, which disengages to eliminate any sign of excessive force.   Since the cervical spine is more delicate, there’s yet another physical safety layer;, our break away safety magnet eliminates any tension force over 60lbs.

Dual Waveforms

With IDD Therapy® treatment you get multiple waveforms to treat your patients with unlimited variability. The primary waveform is directed to a specific dysfunctional spinal segment when the clinician selects the angle of treatment from the tower.  The energy represented by this waveform is sinusoidal in nature.  So, it is able to gently mobilize a facet joint (posterior facet syndrome), re-educate the para-spinal MSK, relieve pressure on a nerve or nerve root, elongate the supporting spinal structures, as well as promote the imbibition of disc fluid and nutrients where needed for healing.  Our “Calculated Knee” modality replaces the progressive and regressive flat line pull seen in ordinary decompression or traction equipment. Our sinusoidal wave form eases into and out of the transitional phase making it the most gentle and sophisticated means of eliciting distractive forces. 

Our patented treatment algorithm takes on a whole new dimension with its secondary wave form, which oscillates on the high-tension hold. This waveform helps to further limit, or fool the proprioceptor firing response. Helping to prevent muscle guarding and spasming while working to signal tissue cells, many physicians report that the oscillation feature has helped them treat patients who came in with intractable pain levels. The Accu-SPINA® System is the only equipment with the mechanical, technological, and software sophistication necessary to achieve this advancement.  Imaging data indicates oscillation promotes more disc height, while decreasing lateral spread.  This Oscillating Logarithmic Curve™ technology is only available with IDD Therapy® treatment on the Accu-SPINA® System.

True-Angle through 30 Degrees

Robotic cervical positioning and full 30 degree lumbar angle sweeps provide optimal treatment profiles for every shape and size patient .  The Accu-Spina® is also the only device that can raise or lower the entire bed to compensate for patient girth, thus assuring true angle vectors.

Actual treatment performance within 1-pound variance or less with micro-targeted decompression force (other devices vary in 15-pound increments).

Remote Diagnostics & Service

The Accu-Spina® System is the only remote access spinal treatment device of its kind.  Our remote online connection to each device for servicing, diagnostics and regular calibrations means little to no clinic down time and quick cost effective maintenance solutions.

Open Expandable Architecture Flexibility

The Accu-SPINA® System is a component-based device opposed to a static one.  This means that if there is an issue with a part, only that part needs to be replaced with minimal down time, if any.  With the upgradable design of the Accu-SPINA® System, your device can almost always be updated.  New feature introductions and technology advances can be as easy as downloading the newest update from North American Medical.

A Technical Review of the Accu-SPINA’s Safety & Precision

  • An independent analysis of the safety and accuracy of the Accu-SPINA in contrast to other spinal decompression devices.
  • Highlighting Accu-SPINA’s accuracy and safety to those of other leading spinal decompression devices.
  • Comparing the Accu-SPINA to other leading spinal decompression devices, this examines the Accu-SPINA’s accuracy and safety.

Dr. Marshall holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from the prestigious Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).

An unbiased review from Matt Marshall, Ph.D.

Findings revealed the Accu-SPINA® system for spinal decompression is both safer and more precise than the leading competitor’s device.

Dr. Marshall explains that a design measure is a way of reducing risk by removing the source of the risk from the designHe found that the Accu-SPINA has an important design measure for safety that the other design does not have.  Specifically, the Accu-SPINA uses a motor that is appropriate and, therefore, better suited for safety vs. the motor found in the other design.  (Other technology details.)

Superior Engineering

Creating a logarithmic calculation is only one part of the secret sauce.  In order to actually produce the optimal waveforms created in a computer model, the mechanical components of a spinal therapy device must be exact in their design.

It all begins with the gearing.  The smaller the movement, the more exact and safer the movement will be. 
Our Accu-Spina matrix head uses a small, high-speed 24-volt DC medical-grade motor.   It turns 360 times and torques up to create each revolution.  This method of force acceleration creates a significantly smoother movement than is possible from decompression devices that rely on an industrial servo-motor that must actually be powered down for use on a human body.

The second unique mechanical feature of the Accu-Spina Matrix Head is its finely crafted German clutch with hundreds of tiny teeth. 
Like the tiny precision gears of a fine Swiss timepiece, this clutch is capable of minuscule transitions in fractional seconds.  While your patient is undergoing an IDD Therapy® session, the treatment strap is directed both forward and backward by the computer- and can actually “lock” the strap in place every 1.8 degrees throughout every 360 revolutions. This precision locking method during treatment, along with the bio-feedback monitoring by the dedicated computers and loadcell, constantly measures and re-measures the accuracy of each calculated force transition, up to 256,000 times per second.  This level of extremely accurate dynamic force application is a crucial element in assuring gentle and uniform spinal separation.
