Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy

If you have persistent back pain, neck pain or leg pain (sciatica) which is having a negative impact on your life, then IDD Therapy Disc Treatment may be the treatment for you.

What is IDD Therapy Disc Treatment?

Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy is the successful and trusted non-surgical spinal decompression treatment for back pain, neck pain and related conditions such as sciatica.

Many back pain conditions are located at a particular level in the spine. With IDD Therapy we use computer-controlled pulling forces delivered by the SPINA medical devices to gently distract (draw apart) targeted segments of the spine in order to take pressure off specific discs and nerves whilst at the same time, gently stretching tight muscles and stiff ligaments.

By decompressing (taking pressure off) an injured or bulging disc and stretching the soft tissues, we can improve mobility in the spine and allow the body’s natural healing mechanisms to operate more efficiently. In so doing, we can relieve pain caused by muscle spasm and alleviate nerve compression and irritation caused by bulging discs.

The four goals of IDD Therapy treatment are as follows:

  • Improve the health of the intervertebral disc
  • Rehabilitate supporting muscles and ligaments
  • Realign spinal structures
  • Release pressure on nerves

As clinicians, we can treat most back and neck pain with manual therapies but for some conditions – particularly those which are disc-related – patients need something more to help their condition improve.

Step-by-step

Assessment

Your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough examination, using gentle exercises and diagnostic tests to fully assess your problem.

Scans

If necessary, we will undertake an X-ray or an MRI scan in order to understand fully what's going on. Where we don't have facilities on-site, we will refer you to an external imaging partner.

Report of Findings & Treatment Plan

Having analysed the data from the assessment, movement analysis and scans, your physiotherapist will explain the diagnosis to you, and discuss the range of treatment options that are available.

Your physiotherapist will design a treatment plan that is specific to your needs. It will include an estimated recovery time, number of treatments and how to minimise the chances of the problem reoccurring.

If the physio feels that another member of our team would be better placed to help, they will refer you to them.

Treatment, Rehabilitation, IDD

Your plan will combine hands-on treatment with rehabilitation, strength and conditioning sessions. It may also include Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy.

Your hands-on treatment will take place in one of our fully equipped treatment rooms. Your physiotherapist will use a full range of techniques including ultrasound, soft tissue massage, joint mobalisation, manipulation and acupuncture.

Rehabilitation sessions take place in the gym, where our physiotherapists have access to the latest exercise equipment, 3D Movement Analysis and Gait Analysis equipment.

With IDD Therapy we use computer-controlled pulling forces delivered by the SPINA medical devices to gently decompress (take pressure off) targeted segments of the spine in order to take pressure off specific discs and nerves whilst at the same time, gently stretching tight muscles and stiff ligaments.

Progress Review

Having gone through a course of hands-on treatment and rehabilitation, your physiotherapist will track your progress by re-testing your injury using the 3D Movement Analysis system. The results will be discussed with you and we'll decide next steps together.
