Are you trapped in a never-ending cycle of GP, physiotherapy and pain clinic visits, all the while being reliant on daily painkillers?
As Kent's first specialist Disc Clinic, we know how debilitating persistent back pain, neck pain and sciatica can be. The constant pain and lack of movement can prevent you from sleeping, working, driving and doing everyday things like bathing and dressing.
Some patients struggle to improve with hands-on treatments, and invasive procedures such as spinal injections or surgery are not ideal with the waiting times, success rates and associated risks.
The IDD Therapy Programme is designed to help you out of pain and back to your normal routine – for the long term. The structured programme of regular treatments targets the root of your bulging, prolapsed, herniated or 'slipped' disc problem, so that symptoms don't return.
Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy, is a targeted herniated disc treatment for persistent back pain, neck pain and associated nerve pain in the arms and legs (sciatica). The non-invasive treatment uses gentle pulling forces to draw apart spinal segments where discs are bulging or damaged, removing pressure and irritation from any trapped nerves.
By taking pressure off a damaged disc and stretching the soft tissues, we can improve mobility in the spine and allow the body's natural healing mechanisms to work more efficiently.
Our dedicated team can treat most back and neck pain with manual therapies, but for some conditions - particularly those which are disc-related - patients need something more: this is where IDD Therapy can be invaluable.
IDD Therapy can help many persistent back and neck conditions non-invasively, particularly bulging, prolapsed, herniated, or 'slipped disc' or Degenerative Disc Disease.
The discs are the protective pads of connective tissue dividing the bones of the spine - our 'shock absorbers' - protecting the spine when we move around. When these are stressed or damaged, they can cause the vertebral bones to rub together and compress or irritate surrounding nerves: very painful!
With disc damage, sufferers can experience more than one disc 'going' at a time. In the lower back, the segments affected are commonly, L4/L5 and L5/S1.
In the neck, the segments affected are usually C5/C6 and C6/C7.
Nerve pain in the arms and legs (sciatica) can be a sign of a disc problem, where the inner gel-like part of the disc leaks out on to surrounding nerves. IDD Therapy is a specialist sciatica treatment which we are proud to be the first in the county to offer.
Typical candidates for IDD Therapy are those who've been suffering with back pain, neck pain or sciatica for some time, and may have tried other treatments without success. They may be taking pain medication and may be considering invasive treatments such as injections or in extreme cases, surgery.
