A gentle, non-force technique on a specialized table — for disc-related pain, sciatica-type pain, and stubborn stiffness.
Flexion/distraction is a gentle, hands-on technique performed on a specialized table that slowly and rhythmically flexes and stretches the spine. There are no sudden movements — the motion is slow, controlled, and adjusted to you.
It's often chosen for disc-related pain and for patients who want (or need) a gentler, non-force approach. You stay fully clothed, and your provider explains each step before it happens.
We check whether flexion/distraction is the right fit for what's going on — not every back issue calls for the same tool.
Slow, rhythmic flexing and stretching on the specialized table, always within your comfort.
Honest progress checks, and adjustments to the plan as your body responds.
It's gentle by design — most patients describe it as a comfortable stretch, and some find it relaxing. If anything feels wrong, say so and your provider adjusts immediately.
No — an adjustment is a precise, quick movement; flexion/distraction is slow, rhythmic stretching on a moving table. They're different tools and often work well together.
It depends on what's going on. After your exam you'll get an honest recommendation — never a pre-set package.
