What Is Flexion Distraction Therapy?

Flexion Distraction aims to decompress the spine by applying gentle stretching or traction to the lumbar spinal stenosis without using pain medication. This alternative pain relief option is performed on a chiropractic flexion table with moving parts to effectively separate the different parts of the spine, improving spinal stenosis symptoms as the spinal canal narrows.

The combination of this special adjustment table and gentle pressure utilizes flexion-distraction and decompression to increase the disc height between vertebrae, decompressing the spinal column and restoring the spinal joints to their proper alignment and normal spinal movement. Movements are repetitive and usually slow, without quick thrusts or undue pressure.

Flexion distraction manipulation therapy is one of the most effective and well-researched physical therapy science techniques chiropractors use to help uncomfortable symptoms subside.
