Lasting Relief from Slipped Discs, Sciatica & Chronic Back Pain

Living with back pain can be exhausting, especially when it lingers for weeks or even months. At Coventry Back Pain, we understand how frustrating it can be to try painkillers, rest, or even physiotherapy, only to still struggle with daily discomfort. If you are dealing with a slipped disc, sciatica, or ongoing stiffness in your lower back, there are effective non-surgical options available.

IDD Therapy. Gentle, Targeted Spinal Care

One of the treatments we provide at our clinic on Park Road, Coventry is IDD Therapy.  A gentle, non-invasive spinal decompression treatment designed for people with herniated or bulging discs.

Instead of simply masking pain, IDD Therapy works by carefully stretching the spine, creating space between the vertebrae, and encouraging the body’s natural healing process.

Many patients come to us asking: “Can IDD Therapy help with a bulging disc?” For a large number of people, the answer is yes. Especially when other treatments have failed, IDD Therapy can offer real, measurable relief.

“I’d been struggling with chronic heel pain for months, and nothing seemed to work. My therapist recommended Focused Shockwave Therapy because the pain was deep in the tissue. After just a few sessions, I could feel the difference the stabbing pain eased, and I could finally walk comfortably again. It felt like the treatment reached right to the root of the problem.”

“After a running injury, my therapist used a mix of Focused and Radial Shockwave Therapy. The focused sessions targeted the deeper tendon damage, while the radial waves helped relax the surrounding muscles. The combination worked brilliantly within a month I was back to gentle training without pain.”

“I’d developed tightness and pain around my upper arm from repetitive strain at work. My clinician suggested Radial Shockwave Therapy to help release the muscle tension and improve blood flow. The treatment was quick, and I noticed my shoulder felt looser straight away. Over a few weeks, the aching completely settled.”

"I can’t recommend Coventry Back Pain Clinic enough. Have had back issues for years now and after pushing things to far, I needed to find a solution. Maria has looked after me ever since, diagnosed the issue which I never could’ve imagined and has helped me to manage this moving forward. I’ve had other issues pop-up - groin issues, tennis elbow and Maria fixes it! Couldn’t recommend more highly"

How It Works

 

  • You lie comfortably on a specialised IDD Therapy machine.

  • The machine gently and precisely stretches the spine in cycles.

  • This creates negative pressure inside the disc, which can:

    • Draw in bulging disc material

    • Improve nutrient flow to aid healing

    • Relieve pressure on surrounding nerves

Key points:

  • Considered a conservative treatment – often used before surgery.

  • Sessions typically last 25–30 minutes, several times a week.

  • The treatment is generally painless, often described as a gentle stretch.

Take The First Step

At Coventry Back Pain, we take the time to fully assess your condition. Not every case of back pain is caused by a damaged disc, so we use consultation and imaging where necessary to identify the root cause. From there, we design a treatment plan tailored to you, combining IDD Therapy with chiropractic care, exercise guidance, and lifestyle advice where appropriate.

If back pain has been holding you back, it’s time to explore what modern, non-invasive treatment can achieve. Contact our friendly team today to book your assessment and start your journey toward lasting relief.

How do you decide if IDD Therapy is right for my back pain?

We assess your symptoms, medical history and how your back pain affects you. Back pain can have different causes, so IDD Therapy may not be suitable for everyone. We’ll explain our findings and discuss appropriate options before recommending a plan.

What happens during an IDD Therapy session?

You lie on a specialised treatment table while straps are positioned around your pelvis and chest. The machine applies a controlled pulling force in cycles, and your clinician monitors how you respond.

Does IDD Therapy hurt?

The treatment is usually described as a gentle stretch, but people can experience it differently. Tell your clinician if you feel pain or discomfort during a session so they can review the settings and your response.

How many IDD Therapy sessions will I need?

The number and frequency of sessions depend on your assessment and progress. Your clinician can explain the proposed schedule and review whether the treatment is helping as you go.

Can IDD Therapy help with sciatica or a bulging disc?

It may be considered for some people with disc-related back pain or sciatica, but these symptoms can have different causes. An assessment is needed to decide whether IDD Therapy is appropriate for your situation; results vary between individuals.

Will I need a scan before starting IDD Therapy?

Not everyone needs imaging. Your clinician will assess your symptoms and decide whether imaging or another referral is appropriate. A scan is considered alongside your history and examination, rather than on its own.

Can I return to normal activities after an IDD Therapy session?

Many people can continue with their usual activities, but this depends on their symptoms and how they feel after treatment. Follow the advice from your clinician, especially about exercise or activities that aggravate your pain.

Is IDD Therapy an alternative to surgery?

IDD Therapy is a non-surgical treatment option that may be considered as part of conservative care. It cannot be assumed to replace surgery or other treatment. Your clinician can discuss suitable options and whether you need assessment by another healthcare professional.
