How it works

What is IDD Therapy® spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression, or IDD (Internal Disc Decompression) Therapy®, is a proven, non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. It is non-invasive, typically involves no pain medications, and is safe and painless.

What to expect

Your path to relief, step by step

1. Evaluation

Your care starts with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Hammes reviews your history, symptoms and any imaging to determine whether decompression is the right fit for your condition.

2. Gentle decompression sessions

You lie comfortably, fully clothed, on the decompression table while it gently and precisely stretches the spine. This creates negative pressure inside the targeted disc, relieving pressure on nerves and drawing in fluid and nutrients. Most patients find it comfortable — even relaxing.

3. A personalized plan

The number of sessions depends on your condition, symptoms and goals. Following your evaluation, Dr. Hammes recommends a personalized treatment plan and tracks your progress along the way.

Is it right for me?

Decompression helps many patients with herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica and chronic back or neck pain — especially those who want to avoid surgery. The best way to know is a conversation and an evaluation.
