IDD Therapy is for Herniated Discs, Degenerative Discs and Sciatica 

As back pain treatment specialists, we see a lot of patients who need something more than hands on therapy. If you have had back pain, neck pain or nerve pain for some time, particularly if you have a disc problem, our IDD Therapy disc treatment programme is here to help you. 

What is IDD Therapy?

IDD stands for Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy, or more simply IDD Therapy for short. Developed in the USA in the late 1990s, IDD Therapy is a targeted treatment which relieves pressure on specific spinal discs and gently restores mobility. We have an IDD Therapy machine 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 stretching the soft tissues, we can improve mobility in the spine with a goal to allow the body’s natural healing mechanisms to operate more efficiently. In so doing, we aim to relieve pain caused by muscle spasm and alleviate nerve compression and irritation caused by bulging discs.

Why choose IDD Therapy?


  • Current treatment is not working
  • Want to stop taking painkillers
  • Seeking long-term pain relief
  • Want to return to normal daily activities


Typical candidates for IDD Therapy


Typical candidates for IDD Therapy are people who have back or neck pain and may have tried various other treatments without success. They may be taking pain medication and may be considering invasive treatments such as injections or in extreme cases, surgery.


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.

Evidence & Articles

IDD Therapy, developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s, has gained recognition for its potential to address various health conditions.


Numerous articles have documented its benefits, highlighting its effectiveness in reducing pain, improving mobility, and promoting overall well-being.


IDD Therapy utilises a specialised table to gently decompress the spine, restoring the body's natural alignment and alleviating pressure on nerves and tissues.


Over time, this non-invasive treatment has shown promising results in addressing a wide range of health concerns, making it a valuable addition to the realm of healthcare practices.

Take me to more evidence

IDD Therapy, since its development back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, has had a commitment to evidence-based medicine. This evidence has shown that IDD Therapy is more effective than exercise and manual therapy, it is also more effective than traditional traction.

Naval Mair | IDD Therapy Specialist


"I have been an Osteopath for over 25 years. I am passionate about hands on treatment but for some back and neck pain patients, I need a tool to really help me get started with a patient. IDD Therapy allows me to “decompress” or ease pressure on specific spinal discs and improve mobility in a way that is just not possible with hands alone treatment. 


We use IDD Therapy as a part of a programme of care which helps create a platform for long term healing and which includes tailored rehabilitation. Whilst no treatment has 100% success, the outcomes with IDD Therapy for treating chronic disc-related problems are impressive, particularly given the difficult nature of some of the conditions we are treating.”
