What is Flexion Distraction Therapy?
Flexion Distraction Therapy is a hands-on technique that uses a specialized table to gently stretch and decompress the spine. The therapy targets the lower back and neck regions, with the primary goal of relieving pressure on the spinal discs, nerves, and joints. By carefully distracting the spine and moving it into a flexed position, Flexion Distraction Therapy helps to restore the natural alignment of the spine, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

How is Flexion Distraction performed?
Flexion Distraction involves using a special table that distracts and flexes the spine in an automated and gentle rythmic motion. The doctor will use some manual techniques with the table to help decrease your pain. The goal is to allow the spine to move correctly in a manner that will remove pressure from the disc bulge. It does this by creating a negative pressure that pulls the disc bulge back into the spine. The flexion distraction motion also maintains healthy discs through imbibition.

What to Expect During a Flexion Distraction Therapy Session
Your Flexion Distraction Therapy session will begin with a thorough evaluation of your medical history and symptoms. Based on your condition, your therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
During the session, you will lie on a specialized table while the therapist gently adjusts your body into different positions. You may feel mild traction or stretching sensations as the table moves, but the therapy is designed to be comfortable and non-invasive.
