Flexion Distraction

Treating Your Pain with Flexion Distraction

Sitting for long periods of time can lead to compressed discs in your spine, which can cause back pain or shooting pain in your arms or legs.

Flexion distraction employs a sequence of repetitive rhythmic movements in order to achieve spinal decompression. It also allows us to simultaneously stretch the muscles nearby.

This therapy was originally developed to address conditions such as disc injuries and spinal stenosis that put pressure on the nerve roots in the spine, which cause back pain and radiating pain in the arms and legs. While it excels at addressing these issues, it goes a step further by using a sequence of repetitive, rhythmic movements to decompress your spine while also relaxing the surrounding muscles.
