🦴 What is Flexion Distraction?
If you’re dealing with lower back pain, a herniated disc, or arthritis in the lumbar spine, flexion distraction therapy might be the gentle, effective treatment your body needs.
This technique specifically targets the lumbar spine, that’s your lower back. Here’s how it works:
👇 The Process:
During flexion distraction, the lower half of the treatment table gently moves, allowing your lower abdomen to flex toward the floor. Then, it slowly returns to a neutral position.
🎯 This rhythmic movement creates a gentle stretch in the lower spine, which can:
✅ Decompress spinal discs
✅ Reduce pressure on nerves
✅ Improve mobility
✅ Relieve pain from disc herniations and degenerative joint conditions
💡 It’s especially effective for patients with:
✔️ Herniated or bulging discs
✔️ Degenerative disc disease
✔️ Arthritis in the facet joints of the lumbar spine
Many patients find flexion distraction to be a comfortable and non-invasive way to relieve pain and support healing, without the need for forceful adjustments.
