What Is Flexion Distraction?

The flexion distraction technique, which is also known as flexion-distraction therapy, takes place on a segmented table. The chiropractor will slowly manipulate different parts of your body by adjusting segments of the table. The goal of this therapy is to decompress your spine, alleviate back pain, treat leg and neck discomfort, and make sure that everything from your head to your toes has been placed in the best possible alignment. The goal is to use gravity to change the elevation of certain parts of your body as the table is adjusted. That way, it is possible to properly align different parts of your body while minimizing complications and side effects. 

What Are the Benefits of Flexion and Distraction Therapy?

There are several significant benefits of this treatment technique. Some of the top examples include:

• We can alleviate pressure on your discs and spinal nerves.
• We can treat bulging discs.
• We can use this technique to increase your mobility, flexibility, and range of motion.
• This technique can be used to treat chronic back pain.
• If you are stiff or sore, this treatment technique can be beneficial.
• We can use this treatment option to alleviate numbness and discomfort in your legs, arms, and back.
• We can use this technique to make sure your posture is correct.

Can the Flexion and Distraction Technique Help My Discomfort?

Yes, this is a treatment option that can help you alleviate both acute and chronic discomfort. It is not unusual for people to have stiffness and soreness occasionally, particularly if they exercise regularly. Even though you might think you need prescription pain medication, flexion-distraction therapy can be helpful as well. This is an effective, alternative pain relief option that could help you improve your quality of life by increasing your range of motion, minimizing discomfort, and keeping you away from other treatment methods that could lead to side effects.
