IDD Therapy uses advanced Accu-SPINA technology to gently stretch and decompress the spine, targeting damaged discs and relieving pain.
During each session:
You lie comfortably on a cushioned bed, secured with ergonomic harnesses.
The machine applies gentle, computer-generated pulling forces to the targeted spinal segment.
This process relieves pressure, relaxes muscles, restores flexibility, and promotes natural healing.
Completely painless and requires no surgery, injections, or downtime.

Our Results...
How IDD Therapy Transformed Julia’s Life
At 36 years old, Julia was suffering from crippling sciatic leg pain. She came to us because nothing else was working, and she was told she needed urgent surgery. Julia was very scared, and wanted a second opinion.
We identified an extremely large herniated disc in her lower back, and started her on a course of IDD Therapy to decompress her disc.
BEFORE
AFTER
*As with any medical procedure results will vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed
After six weeks of IDD Therapy, combined with rehabilitative exercise, her crippling leg pain was gone completely. Her herniated disc had all but disappeared, and she was back to enjoying the active, pain-free life she remembered.
And, years later, she still is.

Before You Book Your Appointment, Here's Just a Handful of Our Patients Success Stories to Put Your Mind at Ease
I had been suffering with severe sciaticia pain for many months and I had tried various different treatments - nothing was working. I saw the IDD treatment on Facebook I was sceptical but after some research I made an enquiry. I am now 3 months post treatment and I am completly pain free - I can't thank Mark, Holly, Mariaanne and the other team members enough. Their care was 2nd to none, it was easy, efficient and caring. I've got my life back and I can be a mum again to my little boy - thank you
From the very first interaction I had with Steve to all throughout my IDD journey, Sussex Back Pain Clinic healed me from a life altering injury and I cannot thank them enough! Highly recommend to anyone who has back pain
In my late 70's I thought my back and nerve pain which was painful and causing me to slow down was just due to old age. After an initial consultation it was recommended I should try IDD treatment and also follow exercises specific for my condition which I followed diligently! Thanks to Steve and his team I can now compete in the games I played before and enjoy walking long distances much more comfortably than previously.
I contacted the Sussex Back Pain Clinic last year as a bit of a last resort as I had been suffering from chronic back and leg pain since 2020 and had tried multiple treatments over the last 5 years - Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Acupuncture - but nothing had helped. I had got to a point where I was unable to do any real physical activity without feeling intense pain or discomfort. I then read about IDD Therapy and thought it had to be worth investigating and so got in touch with the clinic to find out more. My initial consultation with Steve was very thorough. I had an MRI to identify the problem so that Steve could determine whether IDD Therapy would be the right way forward for me. Once I started the IDD Therapy, the sessions were quick and pain free. It was quite intense with 20 sessions over 6 weeks, but it was absolutely fine. I had intermittent sessions with Steve to see how it was all going and the rehabilitation sessions with Holly throughout were very helpful. I have now reached the end of my IDD journey and I can honestly say that my pain levels are greatly reduced and I am now able to get back to exercising and sleeping better. I am continuing with the exercises that the clinic have given me and I can finally feel some strength returning. Thank you to all of the staff at Sussex Back Pain Clinic for your help and support.
For 18 months I had been struggling with horrific pain in my lower back which shot pain down my left leg all the way to my toes. Pins and needles were common and I struggled to sit down for more than 5 minutes. I had no idea what was causing the pain and it was heavily affecting me mentally. I was unable to sleep and go about my daily activities, struggling to have a normal life. I found Sussex Back Pain Clinic on Google, and due to the great reviews, I got in touch. The second I walked through the door I was greeted with a smile and the whole team were super friendly - I felt like I was in safe hands. My first consultation with Steve was very informative and I booked an MRI off the back of it. The scan showed a large herniated disc on my lumbar which was pinching my sciatic nerve and Steve suggested that IDD therapy would be the best suited healing method for me. One on one tailored physio therapy sessions were part of the IDD therapy package deal (which was well and fairly priced) and they really helped regain movement in my lower back, which had seized up due to my siatica. After three months of regular IDD and physio therapy, I was edging closer to normality, where I was able to put on my shoes and socks without any help from my wife! Now six months later, I am very nearly back to normal. I had learned to live with my pain, thinking that it would never go away but now I can run, do exercise and sit down on my favourite sofa and watch a film. Road trips are back on the agenda for 2025 and I wouldn’t be in this position without all the staff at The Sussex Back Pain Clinic. Anyone who is struggling with siatica or any sort of back pain, I strongly recommend that you see these guys. They’ve fixed me. 5* all the way. Thanks Steve and staff! Tristan.
I initially came to see Steve Morris at the SBPC in 2016 with a slipped disc and awful sciatica. I had been in agony for months and was so happy to find a non invasive treatment option. Steve was brilliant, understanding, knowledgeable and explained everything really well. I had IDD treatment and it worked! Gradually my back began to heal. I was given regular back exercises to do and the clinic team were so helpful and supportive. I am now a patient of Charlottes and she is wonderful at keeping me on track. I have found her to be intuitive, capable, caring and experienced. I recomend SBPC to anyone I can, it’s worth every penny to be pain free.
After trying various therapists to try to alleviate my constant back pain, ( GP, osteopath, chiropractics etc) I was sceptical that this treatment would be successful. However, Marc got to work on the source of the problem immediately & with great expertise used his skills to reduce, then cure the pain. Thank you.
Herniated a disc in my lower back and after months of trying alternative treatments and medication I am finally pain free. IDD therapy has been nothing short of a miracle and I will forever be grateful to everyone at Sussex Back Pain Clinic for their amazing work and providing me with the tools to keep my back strong and pain free.
I have recently completed my treatment plan with Marc, which included a course of IDD therapy. Immediately after the IDD sessions, I was not convinced the treatment had worked for me, but Marc and Holly reassured me and encouraged me to be patient and continue with my exercises. Three months on, I have just had my final review and was delighted to report that I am now completely pain free. After living with pain for two years and at times having to stay in bed because of it, this has been such a huge relief. The ladies who carried out the IDD sessions were extremely friendly. I got to know them well and even enjoyed a laugh while being stretched, which made the whole process much easier. Thank you, Mariam and Jenny. Marc was always available at the end of the phone whenever I had a flare up and took the time to explain what was happening, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend this treatment, but would also remind anyone considering it to allow the full healing time, as patience really does pay off.
Absolutely a life saver for my lower back lumbo-sacral protruding discs causing terrible sciatica & back pain. They offered IDD Therapy with osteopathy & showing me how to re-learn moving differently. A holistic approach which has transformed my life. I cannot begin to thank you enough! I thought that regular pain & possibly surgery may be my only option for the severe pain & some weakness in my left leg.
I had treatment IDD last September from Steve and the team at Sussex Back Pain Clinic. After nearly 6 years on and off them helping me with a quick fix if sciatica arose I was due a little boy in October and wanted to get pain free for him . I was unable to walk or hardly walk for periods of 2 weeks to 3 months and really wanted help as only just turned 40! This was the best decision I have ever made! I had 30 sessions in the program including in this regular reviews with Steve on my progress. My mobility increased dramatically over the sessions and continued support after with exercises to strengthen further, I have now been in no pain and sciatica free for the past 5-6 months! I can’t thank them enough and I didn’t believe it would work and was on Steve’s expert recommendation. If you’re thinking about this and Steve thinks this could be your best chance before surgery it’s seriously worth considering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy has emerged as a credible, safe, and effective alternative to surgery for various conditions including low back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and facet syndrome. Clinical studies have shown that as many as 92% of patients, who were initially considered for surgery, were able to successfully avoid it due to the significant, long-term improvements in their symptoms following IDD Therapy 2.
At our clinic, these positive findings are mirrored in our patient outcomes.
IDD Therapy treats damaged discs in the lower back (lumbar spine) – most commonly the L4/L5 or L5/S1 level – and in the neck (cervical spine) which are C5/C6/C7. It is not used to treat the thoracic (mid) spine.
Patients have a series of treatments typically spread over 6 to 8 weeks. This is to allow time for the body to adapt to treatment with a goal of progressively improving spine function. Whilst symptomatic relief can be experienced in the early stages of treatment, the body does not adjust overnight where chronic conditions have built up over time. The exact number of treatments depends on the nature of your condition and how you progress with treatment but can be up to 20 sesssions. To ensure that your spine is working optimally so that your condition doesn’t recur, a specialised exercise rehabilitation course will run alongside your IDD sessions.
An individual IDD session costs around £80. However, IDD Therapy is only available as a complete care package, which may include up to 20 IDD sessions along with a full rehabilitation exercise program over a 6 to 8 week period. To determine if IDD Therapy is right for you and to assess your specific needs, a comprehensive one-hour IDD Assessment is required, priced at £95.
All chronic pain conditions are different. Some patients start seeing relief from pain symptoms in just a few sessions, but for most, you’ll typically see a consistent improvement over the course of your treatment.
Yes, the results are designed to be long lasting. By optimising the natural healing process and including a full rehabilitation program, IDD Therapy provides lasting relief. From our experience, the majority of patients we are still in contact with who had treatment as far back as 15 years ago have maintained their improvement.
After decades of use, and millions of treatments, IDD Therapy has maintained an exemplary safety record.
