Advanced Care with Dr. Angelo Ippolito at Palm Coast Health Chiropractic Care
With over 30 years of experience in chiropractic care, Dr. Angelo Ippolito is dedicated to providing cutting-edge treatments for spinal health. At Palm Coast Health Chiropractic Care, Dr. Ippolito specializes in IDD Therapy using the Accu-Spina system, an advanced form of non-surgical spinal decompression. This innovative, non-invasive treatment is designed to alleviate back and neck pain while restoring spinal health naturally.
Definition & Overview
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a modern therapeutic approach that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on nerves, discs, and other spinal structures. Using advanced technology, this treatment addresses conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. By creating negative pressure within the spine, decompression therapy promotes disc retraction, reduces nerve compression, and supports the body’s natural healing process.
At Palm Coast Health Chiropractic Care, the IDD Therapy with Accu-Spina takes this approach to the next level by offering precise, computer-controlled movements tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Why Choose Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?
A Minimally Invasive Solution
Non-surgical spinal decompression provides an effective alternative to invasive procedures such as spinal fusion or discectomy. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking pain relief without surgery, long recovery times, or potential complications.
A Focus on Natural Healing
This therapy aligns with chiropractic principles by encouraging the body’s natural healing capabilities through gentle, targeted spinal adjustments.

How IDD Therapy with Accu-Spina Works
Advanced Technology At Work
The Accu-Spina system enhances traditional spinal decompression with cutting-edge precision. During a session:
- Patient Preparation: Patients are secured with a harness targeting the specific spinal region, such as the cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) spine.
- Computer-Guided Adjustments: The Accu-Spina device applies calibrated tension and relaxation cycles, gently stretching the spine in a controlled manner.
- Vacuum Effect: This creates a vacuum-like negative pressure within the spinal discs, allowing herniated or bulging material to retract and relieve nerve compression.
- Therapeutic Stretching: Improved disc alignment reduces inflammation, increases circulation, and supports healing.
Each session is designed to maximize comfort and effectiveness, providing a customized experience based on the patient’s condition and progress.

Potential Drawbacks and Considerations
While spinal decompression is an excellent choice for many, there are factors to consider:
- Time Commitment: A typical treatment plan involves multiple sessions over several weeks.
- Eligibility: Conditions such as severe osteoporosis, fractures, or pregnancy may limit suitability.
- Cost Factors: While often more affordable than surgery, out-of-pocket expenses depend on insurance coverage.
Dr. Ippolito ensures each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation to determine whether IDD Therapy is the right solution for their specific condition.
