IDD Spinal Decompression Therapy
IDD Therapy is the leading non-surgical spinal decompression treatment which relieves pressure on targeted spinal discs and gently restores mobility in the affected area.
What Is IDD Therapy?
We have an IDD Therapy machine (Accu SPINA) which patients lie on as part of the treatment. It is computer controlled and perfectly comfortable.
By decompressing (taking pressure off) an injured or bulging/herniated disc and gently stretching the soft tissues, we can improve mobility in the spine and allow the body’s natural healing mechanisms to operate more efficiently.
IDD Therapy is a gentle but dynamic treatment which is safe, non-invasive and suitable for people over the age of 18.

During your first visit with us we will discuss any health-related issues and concerns. You will also learn about potential care options we have for you. We’ll have some brief paperwork for you to fill in on your first visit. This paperwork provides us with general information about you and your condition.

Where We Use IDD Therapy
IDD For Your Back
A key benefit of IDD Therapy is the ability to adjust and focus distraction forces to a targeted level of the spine. This is achieved using precisely measured angles which are adjusted depending on the level of the spine being treated.
Every aspect of the treatment is recorded and this enables clinicians to accurately monitor progress and adjust treatment appropriately.
Once set the patientrelaxes and is ready fortreatment. As with all treatments, patient safety is paramount and IDD treatment has many safety features for complete peace of mind.
Treatment on the SPINA machine lasts for approximately 25 minutes, during which time thereare 13 minutes when the joint is fully distracted.
IDD Therapy is a patented oscillation capability which gently mobilises the joint at the point of maximum joint distraction.
As well as comfort, the oscillation enables patients to adapt to higher pulling forces whilst remaining completely relaxed forthe duration of treatment. (some patients actually go to sleep during treatment!)
IDD Therapy is a tool used as part of a complete programme of care. As treatments progress and pain is relieved, patients are shown simple exercises to help condition the body and are advised on lifestyle changes to help get the most from the treatment and achieve lasting pain relief.
The number of treatments you require will vary depending on the nature of your condition. Some patients can experience relief within a few treatments, whilst other patients require a
course of treatments to give the body time to adapt to changes, heal and strengthen.
IDD For Your Neck
Manual therapists use a variety of techniques to treat neck pain but when these standard treatments fail to produce adequate results, the treatment options are very limited.
Intervertebral Differential Dynamics, orIDD Therapy is a safe and precise non-surgical spinal decompression treatment for neck pain and conditions related to disc problems in the cervical spine.
IDD Therapy is well known as a treatment for herniated or prolapsed discs, sometimes referred to as a slipped disc and is commonly used to treat herniated discs in the neck.
Delivered by SPINA decompression devices IDD Therapy uses advanced computertechnology to gently distract segments of the cervical spine at precisely measured angles.
All aspects of the treatment are recorded as part of a commitment to evidence-based medicine and each treatment lasts for a full 25 minutes, during which time the vertebrae in the neck are gently distracted in 13 controlled cycles.
When treating the neck, accuracy and safety are essential and IDD Therapy treatment includes many safety features including a patient safety switch which allows them to have control of the treatment at all times.
Active tracking enables clinicians to monitortreatment and modify settings in response to patient needs.
The number of treatments required will vary depending on the nature of your condition. Some patients can experience symptomatic relief within a few treatments, whilst others may require a series of treatments to enable the body to adapt to change and properly heal.
