How Does IDD Therapy Relieve Herniated or Bulging Discs in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire?

Are you struggling with a herniated, slipped, or bulging disc and living in the Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire area?
If so, you’re in the right place. In this post, we’ll explain how IDD Therapy (Intervertebral Disc Decompression) works to relieve disc problems, reduce pain, and help you avoid surgery.

How a Herniated or Bulging Disc Causes Pain

Think of a spinal disc like a water balloon or even a car tyre. When it’s full and healthy, it stays firm and in place. But if it loses pressure, it can bulge outward, pressing on sensitive nerves in your spine.

When these nerves are compressed, you may experience:

Intense back or leg pain
Numbness or tingling
Pins and needles
Burning sensations
Loss of strength or power

This can be debilitating, and many patients feel trapped between ongoing pain and the prospect of surgery. Find out more how we treat Herniated or Bulging Discs

What Is IDD Therapy?

IDD Therapy stands for Intervertebral Disc Decompression. It’s a specialist, non-surgical treatment designed to help people with disc problems such as:

Herniated discs
Bulging discs
Slipped discs
Sciatica and nerve pain caused by disc compression

We’ve been using IDD Therapy in our specialist clinic for over a decade, making us one of the longest-running providers in the UK. Read more about IDD therapy

How IDD Therapy Works

IDD Therapy is a comfortable, computer-controlled treatment where you lie on a specially designed table. The machine gently:

Stretches the spinal segment – This relieves pressure on the nerve and allows it space to begin healing.
Oscillates (wiggles) the disc area – This helps fluid and nutrients flow back into the disc, like “pumping up the tyre.”
Reduces compression – By lowering the pressure inside the disc, bulging material can reabsorb into place naturally.

Over a course of treatments, this process helps the disc recover, relieves nerve irritation, and restores proper spinal function.
