Study Conclusion: Active oscillatory signaling introduced during the high-tension period of treatment may lead to more compliant muscle re-education and thus enhanced uniform separation of the vertebrae. We believe that IDD Therapy® using Accu-Spina® may achieve 92% positive results because the secondary oscillatory signal induces mechanotransduction of mechanical stimuli into electrochemical activity at the cellular level. Further research will lead to greater confidence and further exploration of mechanotransduction in intradiscal cellular tissues. [Press Release.]

Carlos Becerra, CEO, and inventor of the DRS and Accu-SPINA® System (which is used to administer IDD Therapy treatment) has been honored with the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Disc Education Association.

Over 400 attendees, mostly spine care doctors and chiropractors, cheered loudly as the award was presented by Dr. Eric S. Kaplan and Dr. Perry Bard of the International Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression and the Disc Centers of America.   [Press Release.]

Does your job require a lot of lifting? Or perhaps moving equipment around? Or working over a low table?  

Whatever your job requires of you, it’s important to protect your back.  Our body is designed to be able to undertake these activities.  However, a combination of repetition, poor technique or inadequate physical fitness can mean we suffer with injuries that cause pain, ranging from a miild backache to serious pain.  

This article explains how the spine works, causes of back and neck pain, treating and avoiding pain, and other tips for keeping your back healthy so you can not only work without issue, but also to be sure pain won’t slow you down in other areas of your life.

At the beginning of 2021, like many CEO’s, Carlos Becerra of North American Medical (NAM) Corporation, wasn’t sure what to project for equipment sales for the upcoming year.  He certainly couldn’t have predicted what occurred.

NAM’s flagship product, the Accu-SPINA® system, administers nonsurgical spinal treatment known as IDD Therapy® for disc disease and injuries.  Historically, the majority of Accu-SPINA® systems are purchased by doctors seeking to expand their treatment options by adding IDD Therapy® treatment to their practice, in other words by purchasing their first Accu-SPINA® system.

This year, the biggest surprise was the number of doctors acquiring their second or third Accu-SPINA® system in order to meet patient demand for IDD Therapy® treatment.

Dr. Graham Kern (pictured), Lakeland Disc Center in Lakeland, FL, said, “As patients started to emerge from lockdown, we experienced a surge in people seeking nonsurgical options to treat back and neck pain.”  After years of successfully treating painful issues such as bulging and herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and disc degeneration with IDD Therapy®, Dr. Kern didn’t hesitate to add additional Accu-SPINA® systems in order to meet the needs of his patients….  continued

There are a number of nerve roots that exit the low back and come together to form the sciatic nerve, which is travels through your buttock and down the back of your leg.

If the discs become weakened or too much force is exerted on them from certain twisting or awkward bending for example, the wall of the discs can bulge.  A disc bulge, or herniation, where the walls of the disc are pushed outwards can put pressure on these nerves exiting the spinal cord.

Pressure on, or inflammatory irritation of the sciatic nerve from a bulging or herniated disc can cause intense pain traveling down the buttocks and legs.  It can be a constant dull ache or feel like jolts of electricity….  continued
