Cervical Traction Equipment

Balfron's James Sneddon pioneers IDD medical equipment

JAMES SNEDDON is the pioneer of new medical technology that’s bringing much-needed cures and relief to patients suffering from acute pain.

The Balfron man has brought high-tech equipment to the UK and it is producing outstanding results.

I have first-hand knowledge of Mr Sneddon’s treatment as it’s thanks to this that I got my feet back under the editor’s desk after many months’ absence.

It really was the last throw of the dice for me in my bid to return to work as more orthodox and alternative methods had failed to produce any lasting relief.

High doses of painkillers along with physiotherapy treatment, acupunture and visits to chiropractice clinics proved unsuccessful in treating my cervical spine damage.

Surgery was then ruled out, due to the risk of infection or paryalysis, but fortunately for me a friend recommended a visit to the Buckingham Clinic in Glasgow.

In a consultation with clinic principal Mr Sneddon, during which he looked at my x-ray and MRI scan results and carried out orthopaedic tests, he said that although results could not be guaranteed, he felt that there was a 75 per cent chance of success for me with IDD treatment.

Intensive

This was the first time I had heard of IDD – Intervertebral Differential Dynamics – which is an advanced computer-controlled method of treating prolapsed/herniated disc and degenerative disc disease, as well as lower back and sciatic pain.

An intensive stage of 10 daily treatments on the Accu-spina machine followed but, as Mr Sneddon had earlier advised, there was no instant relief.

The next 10 sessions over a longer period produced remarkable results with the ease of head and neck movement and a great decrease in pain.

The treatment itself is best descibed as 30 minutes of relaxation as you lie back on the machine.

It was accompanied by Phyback, which is another revolutionary therapy treatment that sends impulses to relieve pain and aid the healing process.

Rehabilitation after the treatment included building up muscles and some stretching in the clinic’s Medx Core gym facility.

A quick return to work came after my treatment at the Buckingham Clinic in Great Western Road and I would recommend a visit for anyone suffering from a similar problem.

Mr Sneddon, who qualified in naturopathy and osteopathy in 1972, has established himself as one of the leading osteopaths in the country.
