The Buckingham Clinic in Glasgow was the first clinic in Scotland to embrace IDD Therapy non-surgical spinal decompression treatment for their back pain and neck pain patients.

Led by James Sneddon and with a passionate physiotherapy team, the Buckingham Clinic has had a specialised programme of back pain treatment for nearly two and a half years now and this growing success story is now pricking up the ears of back pain clinics around the UK.
Incorporating IDD Therapy at his clinic in September 2008, James recalls:
“I did so much research on IDD non-surgical spinal decompression before I started. The treatment had been achieving extraordinary results for pain sufferers in the US since 2001: I had no doubt that IDD could be of great benefit to my patients.

IDD Therapy ticked every box for the needs of those disc patients and I felt enough confidence in the treatment to take the plunge and buy my own IDD machine.”
Whilst IDD Therapy raised some eyebrows amongst their colleagues, such was the clinic’s success that after just six months, James invested in a second IDD machine.

“We’ve carried out over 4,000 treatments with IDD Therapy. Most patients who come to us for the programme have a problem which includes a disc-related issue. Typically, they have had pain for longer than three months and not been responding to standard manual therapy. IDD has been a revelation for most of them, allowing them to live a pain-free life again.” (read some IDD testimonials)
Now, with its two Accu SPINA IDD machines, The Buckingham Clinic has a programme of physiotherapy incorporating IDD Therapy and core and lumbar strengthening. IDD Therapy gently draws apart vertebrae at a targeted spinal level to decompress the disc.
The computer controlled treatment uses precise angles to treat specific segments and gently mobilises the disc and supporting muscles and ligaments to improve mobility.
The Buckingham Clinic uses standard research evaluation tools including the Oswestry Disability Index and VAS as part of a commitment to evidence-based medicine.

Buckingham Clinic chartered physiotherapist, David Brogan says:
“IDD Therapy is a vital part of the mix. Non-surgical spinal decompression does what traditional traction could only dream of. We incorporate it as part of a specialised programme which is tailored to each patient according to their needs.
There is no such thing as a cure-all however the results we have achieved for so many of our patients are far superior to anything we were able to do before we had the IDD machine.”
Since developing the spinal rehabilitation programme, on the recommendation of Steadfast The Buckingham Clinic has further upgraded their treatment programmes with a specialist lumbar and core strengthening gym from the US which is available to patients as part of the long-term rehabilitation. Again, they are the first osteopathy clinic or physiotherapy clinic in Scotland to use this equipment.

The majority of patients who visit The Buckingham Clinic come from the Strathclyde and Lanarkshire area, although as the only provider so far in Scotland, a growing number of patients travel and stay at one of the convenient local hotels to give themselves the opportunity to do something
more for their pain.

Dear Doctor,
ReplyDeleteI am looking for collaborator, please help me find one or be the one.
My device to treat low back pain (LBP) is patented in the UK, method pending in the USA, a simple, safe and effective auto-decompression method to be used at home.
As a medical doctor using this method to treat my low back pain I can claim that:
1.This method kept me, a young LBP patient, capable to work.
2. It was cost-effective as all the other treatments were abandoned.
3. It keeps me, now an old LBP patient, from becoming a back cripple (unfortunately, there is no absolute cure for heavily herniated disc LBP).
4. The most important advantage of this method is that it is a self-help, self-manage method. I do not go to my GP or hospital, I use it at home any time suitable and my GP here does not even know that I have a back problem.
There are some other advantages of this method that require further investigation:
1. Using this method by patients with simple backache might prevent subsequent disc injury that is highly possible in this group.
2. This method may be a helpful and cost-effective treatment for patients with neck pain.
3. This method may be a helpful and cost-effective treatment for patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
4. It may be reasonable to use this method for preventative measures by people in groups of risk: sedentary mode of life, drivers, porters, weight-lifters, oarsmen and some other sportsmen or parachute jumpers.
5. This method can be used for spine curvature correction.
6. Regular use of this method might prevent development of osteoporosis in the bones of spine, upper limbs and shoulder girdle (it is a positive side effect).
7. This method might prevent periodontal disorders providing the gums' massage (it is another positive side effect of this method).
PS: This is absolutely new and effective method - it will decrease the number of hospital visits, it will reduce the cost of care, it will create jobs, it will increase export, it will be famous all over the world. And it can help soldiers.

Recently, a business associate shared with me an intriguing story about someone with back pain...
ReplyDeleteMichelle Onoff is a successful yoga instructor. Yet for some reason, she suffered with lower back pain.
As a chiropractor, and someone in the healthcare field, I was fascinated by this.
I don't know about you, but I was under the impression that yoga instructors, given their active, stretch-filled, muscle-focused, posture-perfect profession and lifestyle, would be the LAST PEOPLE ON EARTH to experience back pain.
Actually, I was kind of shocked.
If a health-minded yoga instructor can be dealt a crippling back pain blow, what does this say about the rest of us?
Here's Michelle story in her own words. I think it'll inspire hope if you're suffering...
"I was feeling very weak in my core area. And I was having some radiating pain in my lower back.
And I was going to the doctors, and they were telling me things like you need to have disc replacement.
You need to have all these surgeries...
You need to be on these pain medications;
And they wanted to put me through a lot of surgical procedures...
I didn’t want to do ANY of that. But the pain was so bad... I needed some relief.
So I went to two neurosurgeons and I went to a back pain specialist...
The surgeons wanted to operate on me in different places...
… and the back pain specialist wanted to do various procedures, including implanting something permanent in my spine.
I’ve had four procedures that involved needles in my spine, epidurals in my spine and that only gave me a little bit of temporary relief for a couple days.
But it did not cure or really help anything.
It just put a band-aid on a pain for couple of days and that was it.
After my first session of Back Pain Relief4Life, I felt an opening in my back that I haven’t felt in a long time.
I felt stronger to my core and I felt that that radiating burning heat pain that I was feeling, seem to dissipate a little bit.
It seemed to just open up my back in general.
And then after my second session today, I noticed EVEN MORE the stretch in my lower back and more strengthening in muscles that had been weak that I think might help support my lower back.
I was VERY SKEPTICAL about doing Back Pain Relief4Life. Because, as I am a yoga instructor, I feel very knowledgeable in anatomy. And how to help people that come to me in pain.
But I was not aware of certain muscles that I was not using in the body that might help my lower back."

Here's the back pain program she's referring to:
==>Back Pain Relief 4 Life
I share this with you today because if you suffer from back pain (like 3/4 of the population), I'm told this pain relief program WORKS WONDERS.
People, in as little as 16 minutes, have experienced nothing less than total relief. Do nothing more than a specific sequence of 8 simple, pain-relieving movements.
Sounds incredible, but yet Michelle is a prime example.
See for yourself. Especially if you're being told surgery, needles and medication are in your immediate future.

You've got nothing to lose.

PS: My personal takeaway? Michelle was humble to admit yoga wasn't working for her.
To me? That takes guts.
She was also smart enough to stay away from drugs and surgery when there were other more natural options.
But sometimes, one gets to the point where you'll try ANYTHING to get even a little bit of relief. If you're at that point, I encourage you to check out:
