What happens after a patient completes the Spina/IDD Therapy protocol?
The Spina/IDD Therapy protocol of 20-30 visits generally significantly relieves the nerve compression syndrome and restores functional capacity. Once a patient completes the initial treatment protocol it is advisable to put them on a Maintenance Program, consisting of three rehabilitation visits per week for three-four weeks, and then two times a week for three-four weeks. These rehabilitation visits should include Russian stimulation and moist heat, stretching and strengthening of the lumbar spine and lower extremities, and manipulation as needed to maintain optimal spinal function.
