Experts in treating back and neck pain and disc and sport injuries. Our clinicians treat most back and neck pain with manual therapies but some patients need something more to help their condition improve. What is IDD Therapy? Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy is the fastest growing non-invasive treatment for chronic back pain, neck pain and leg pain, in particular herniated discs and sciatica. IDD Therapy delivers a precise and more consistent treatment than is possible with the hands alone or with traditional traction treatments. Treatment is available in over 1000 clinics internationally including a network of UK providers. How does IDD Therapy work? Many back pain conditions are located at a particular level in the spine. IDD Therapy uses computer controlled pulling forces delivered by the Accu SPINA medical device to gently distract (draw apart) targeted segments of the spine in order to take pressure off specific discs and relieve muscle spasm. By decompressing (taking pressure off) an injured or bulging disc and stretching the soft tissues, IDD Therapy aims to improve mobility in the spine and allow the body's natural healing mechanisms to operate more efficiently. In so doing it can relieve pain caused by muscle spasm and alleviate nerve compression and irritation caused by bulging intervertebral discs. Who can benefit from IDD Therapy? Typical candidates for IDD Therapy are people who have had back pain or neck pain for three months and have not responded to manual therapy and exercise. Reasons to choose IDD Therapy 1. Current treatment is not working 2. Want to stop taking painkillers 3. Seeking long term pain relief 4.Want to return to normal daily activities
