Flexion-distraction therapy is a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic technique that uses a specialized table to stretch and mobilize the spine. This method reduces pressure on the spinal discs and nerves while promoting healing, making it an ideal option for athletes and active individuals recovering from injuries or seeking improved spinal function.
During flexion-distraction therapy, the patient lies on a specially designed table. The chiropractor uses gentle, rhythmic stretching and mobilization to decompress the spine, particularly in the lumbar and thoracic regions. This low-impact approach relieves pain, restores mobility, and encourages natural healing without the use of medications or surgery.
