IDD Therapy Cirencester, Gloucestershire, Active Therapy Clinic, 8 Whiteway Court, The Whiteway, Cirencester (2025)

The physiotherapy & osteopathy team provide IDD Therapy for disc-related issues including back pain, neck pain and sciatica for patients in Gloucestershire. By decompressing (taking pressure off) an injured or bulging/herniated disc and stretching the soft tissues, we can improve mobility in the spine and allow the body’s natural healing mechanisms to operate more efficiently. In so doing, we aim to relieve pain caused by muscle spasm and alleviate nerve compression and irritation caused by bulging discs.

IDD Therapy Spinal Decompression: Relieve Arm and Leg Pain (Sciatica) Without Surgery

If you're suffering from arm or leg pain (sciatica) caused by a herniated disc, you know how debilitating it can be. You may have tried everything to get relief, from physical therapy to injections, but nothing seems to work.

But there is a non-surgical option. IDD Therapy is the advanced spinal decompression treatment that can help you relieve your pain and get back to your life.

IDD Therapy works by gently decompressing targeted spinal segments, easing pressure on nerves and working soft tissues to improve mobility. As part of a programme of care, IDD Therapy frees the spine so that the body's natural healing mechanisms operate more efficiently. As you are able to move more, we aim to get you off the vicious downward circle of pain, reduced mobility and poor sleep and onto a virtuous circle of reduced pain, better movement and improved sleep.

If you need help for nerve pain, call the clinic and arrange an IDD Therapy consultation to learn more about IDD Therapy and see if it's right for you.

Shooting pain down your leg or dull ache? Sciatica is one of the worst types of pain! Some positions may ease it or it can be constant.

Sciatica usually stems from the lower back and can be associated with a bulging or herniated disc issue. It can resolve itself but when it doesn't go away, then we're here to help.

Manual treatments and exercise will sort out most problems, but for unresolved sciatica we use IDD Therapy spinal decompression.

This non-invasive treatment targets and decompresses the affected spinal level, easing pressure on nerves and helping to improve function in your lower back.

If it is time to say 'So Long' to sciatica, visit the IDD Therapy page on our website for more details.

The Stages of Pain Medication for Back Pain and When to Consider Non-Surgical IDD Therapy Spinal Decompression

The opioid crisis highlighted the dangers from over-prescribing pain medications for back pain and has raised consciousness amongst health care professionals of the need and desirability to consider alternatives.

GPs are at the front line of spinal pain with 7% of GP consultations in the UK being for lower back pain. Most back pain can be managed holistically with medication, including NSAIDs like Ibuprofen, and physical therapy.

Yet when pain persists, what next?

Return visits to GPs when physical therapy and NSAIDs are not working can see patients prescribed stronger pain medication.

This starts with more powerful medicines like naproxen and can progress upwards to opioid analgesics including codeine, tramadol and in rare cases morphine.

Additionally, a range of neuropathic agents (gabapentin, amitriptyline or pregabalin) may be prescribed for nerve pain such as sciatica.

Pain medication is intended to provide short term relief whilst the body heals or to enable a patient to manage their pain. But ‘managing pain’ can mean living life with pain and that isn’t a desirable outcome goal for anyone.

Stronger pain medication is an indicator of an underlying cause not being addressed. Pain resulting from conditions including bulging or herniated discs can be addressed conservatively with a rehab programme of research-backed IDD Therapy Spinal Decompression.

IDD Therapy addresses the failings of traditional traction by decompressing and mobilising targeted spinal segments.

Taking pressure off nerves and restoring function as part of a programme of care, IDD Therapy relieves GPs of the need to manage some spinal pain.

This allows patients to avoid the side effects of stronger pain medications and the risks of opioids, it addresses the underlying causes of the patients’ problem and it provides alternate solutions for primary care providers.

If you are struggling with back pain, neck pain or nerve pain such as sciatica, the clinic provides a range of manual therapies as well as IDD Therapy Spinal Decompression.
