What is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc is the same as a prolapsed or slipped disc.

This is when the soft centre of a disc breaks through the tough outer rings of cartilage that encapsulate it.

The soft centre of the disc, once it busts out, can press directly on to your nerves causing pain.

Once your nerves are pressed by a herniated disc you will feel pain down the pathway of that particular nerve. This can often be accompanied with pins and needles or numbness.

lower-back_fig1

 

If any of the bottom two vertebral discs (L4 and L5 in red on MRI picture) herniate this will affect the sciatic nerve which causes pain down the back of the leg.

If the discs above L4 and L5 herniate (L2, L3 & L4) this will affect the femoral nerve causing pain on the front of your thigh.

Things to be aware of that are clinically significant and indicate that you need to take further action when you have sciatica are:

  • Severe impingement can weaken the ankle when walking (known as foot drop)
  • Progressive leg weakness
    In extreme (but rare) cases loss of bowel or bladder control and tingling/numbness in the groin area indicates a possible medical emergency

What is IDD Therapy?

IDD Therapy is the latest, most effective non-invasive treatment for spinal disc problems, disc degeneration and associated pain from trapped nerves. We offer specialist IDD Therapy to patients across the Midlands and Greater Manchester.

IDD stands for Intervertebral Differential Dynamics Therapy. It can be best described as a new technologically advanced treatment that bridges the gap between manual therapy and surgery. It is non-invasive and pain-free. 

What IDD Therapy Treats

IDD Therapy is a new technologically advanced disc treatment therapy that aims to target and relieve pressure from painful disc conditions in the spine, including sciatica.

Disc-related problems are often caused by a herniated or slipped disc or prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD); these are all common terms that many of us may have heard before. Disc protrusions, disc bulges or nerve root impingement are other terms that can also be applied.

SPEAK TO AN EXPERT OSTEOPATH

If you’re looking for a natural approach to managing pain or improving your physical health, IDD Therapy may be the right choice for you.

What to Expect from your IDD Therapy Program

Take your first steps toward pain free movement

1

Detailed IDD Therapy Initial Consultation

  • Medical History Review: A detailed discussion about the your symptoms, lifestyle, prior treatments, and medical background.
  • Physical Examination: Orthopedic and neurological tests to assess posture, mobility, reflexes, and pain levels.
  • Diagnostic Imaging: MRI or X-rays are reviewed (or ordered) to confirm your disc herniation, its location, and severity.
  • Treatment Planning: If IDD Therapy is appropriate, a customized treatment plan is created—often including frequency, duration, and any other useful therapies.
  • We show you the IDD Therapy equipment and explain how it works and what you can expect
    •

Outcome: A clear diagnosis and a personalized roadmap to begin IDD Therapy safely and effectively.

Latest Treatment Technology for Herniated Discs using IDD Therapy

  • Decompression Sessions: The IDD Therapy machine gently stretches and decompresses the spine in the exact location where you have your herniated disc.
  • Therapy is applied in a controlled gentle manner (some people go to sleep!) using precise computer controlled pulling forces. This relieves pressure on the herniated disc and helps restore disc health. It reduces inflammation and causes the disc bulge to retract.
  • Session Details:
    • Typically lasts 26 minutes per session.
    • Conducted 2-3 times per week, depending on severity.
    • Most programs involve 10-18 sessions over 5–7 weeks.
  • Supplemental Therapies: May include heat/ice, manual therapy, or gentle exercises to enhance results.
  • Progress Tracking: Ongoing evaluation of pain, function, and mobility to adjust the plan if needed.
    •

Outcome: Decompression helps reduce pain, inflammation, and nerve irritation, allowing for healing and better movement.

3

Road to Recovery & Breaking the Cycle

  • Rehabilitation Exercises: A guided home or clinic-based exercise program to strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and stabilize the spine.
  • Postural Training: Education on ergonomics, correct lifting techniques, and posture adjustments to reduce spinal stress.
  • Lifestyle Modifications:
    • Weight management if applicable.
    • Improved movement habits and daily activity planning.
  • Periodic Check-ups: Follow-up visits to monitor recovery, reinforce exercises, and prevent setbacks.
  • Optional Maintenance IDD Sessions: In some cases, occasional decompression sessions may be recommended as a preventive measure.
    •

Outcome: You return to daily activities with improved strength and confidence, reducing the risk of future disc problems and breaking the pain cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is an IDD Therapy treatment?

Each IDD Therapy treatment lasts for one hour.

Sessions begin with 10 minutes of heat therapy, using a TherMedic belt, to warm the tissues and get blood-flow into the injured area.

You then have IDD Therapy, which lasts for 25 minutes, on the SPINA machine.

Afterwards we give you 10 minutes of cold therapy. This is just to calm the treated area before you go home. You remain comfortable throughout.
