Understanding Flexion Distraction Therapy
Flexion distraction therapy is a gentle, non-surgical chiropractic technique aimed at addressing issues with spinal discs. Here’s what to expect during your session:
How It Works
- Stretching the Discs: The therapy focuses on stretching the spinal discs. Discs can sometimes bulge and press onto nerves, causing discomfort or pain.
- Opening the Discs: The treatment gently opens up the discs, creating a small gap. This process helps relieve pressure off the nerves.
- Repositioning Bulges: By gapping the discs, the therapy encourages any bulges to slip back into place, promoting better disc alignment and reducing nerve compression.
The Treatment Process
- Lying Down: You will lie down on the specialized flexion distraction table.
- Gentle Motion: The table will gently move to stretch and open your spinal discs.
- Pressure Relief: This motion helps to relocate the discs, relieving pressure on the nervous system.
This therapy provides a gentle and effective way to alleviate pain and promote spinal health. If you’re experiencing disc-related issues, flexion distraction therapy might be the right solution for you.
