What is IDD Spinal Decompression Therapy?
IDD Therapy is the leading non-surgical spinal decompression treatment, that uses precise angles, and computer-controlled, patented oscillatory decompression (traction) forces to target specific segments of the spine to alleviate pressure on compressed discs & trapped nerves to promote natural healing and pain relief. With its patented Oscillation feature, “IDD Therapy” is the gold standard (be wary of other cheaper, less effective forms of decompression/traction).
Safe, gentle and non-invasive, IDD Therapy addresses the failings of traditional traction and the natural limitations of what clinicians can do with the hands alone. The treatment involves the gentle distraction (drawing apart) of targeted spinal segments to remove pressure from spinal structures including the discs and spinal nerves to reduce pain, promote healing and improve mobility. There are over 1000 clinics internationally and around 50 clinics in the UK providing this specialist service.
We are one of the UK’s most experienced providers of IDD Therapy. In 2011 we proudly established the first clinic in Essex – and the 3rd in the UK – to offer IDD Therapy. Two years later, after our success in Chigwell, we established the first IDD Therapy clinic in London (city centre). Currently, we have clinics offering IDD Therapy in Chigwell and Hornchurch (East London / Essex).

Is IDD Spinal Decompression Therapy Suitable for You?
- DO YOU HAVE CHRONIC PAIN? TAKING LOTS OF PAINKILLERS? Have you been told you have to “learn to live with the pain” and or rely on pain killers / anti-inflammatories? Our Spinal Decompression Therapy and Disc Therapy Programs have helped 100’s of people reduce or completely stop their long-term pain medications.
- HAVE YOU TRIED OR BEEN TOLD YOU SHOULD HAVE SPINAL ADJUSTMENTS / MANIPULATION, (PHYSIO or PILATES) EXERCISES? Whilst we utilise all these methods and several others besides (as and when appropriate, according to your personal care plan) in many cases these methods alone do not provide the most complete solution for disc problems. IDD Spinal Decompression therapy is arguably the most important component of any non-invasive therapy care plan for patients suffering from compression of their discs, which is ultimately THE most common underlying reason for chronic back pain, sciatica and spinal stenosis.
- HAVE YOU TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX YOUR BACK / NECK? Have you tried chiropractic, osteopathy, massage, acupuncture, injections and even surgery and had poor results? We regularly achieve success where these treatments have failed.
- DO YOU THINK OR HAVE BEEN TOLD INJECTIONS OR SURGERY IS YOUR ONLY ANSWER? Most surgeons would agree that surgery should be the last resort. IDD Spinal Decompression Therapy is virtually risk-free and many of our former patients have been saved from undergoing spinal surgery with IDD Therapy. We work closely with several leading spinal surgeons who regularly refer their patients to us for IDD Therapy before considering surgery.
Do You Suffer With Lower Back Pain, Neck Pain, Sciatica, Slipped Disc, Trapped Nerves (Numbness, Tingling, Pain, Pins and Needles in your Arms or Legs)? Do You Want to Avoid Injections & Surgery?
If you do, and traditional treatments such as physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic, and medications are not (fully) working, then IDD Spinal Decompression Therapy at Spine Plus Clinics may be just the treatment you need!

At Spine Plus, we treat tennis elbow, shoulder tendonitis, calcific tendonitis, and other musculoskeletal disorders using advanced, multi-disciplinary therapies for effective and lasting relief.

Heel & Foot Pain (Plantar Fasciitis)
We offer shock wave therapy as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with manual therapy, dry needling and LASER

Shoulder Pain & Tendinitis
Shockwave therapy can be highly effective for certain types of shoulder pain including (calcific) tendinopathy and tendonitis
