Flexion/Distraction Therapy

• Reduced Intradiscal Pressure: By gently stretching the spine, it lowers the internal pressure of the disc, which can alleviate pain from herniations and bulges.

• Increased Spinal Motion: The rhythmic motion helps restore a normal range of movement to the spinal joints and improves overall flexibility.

• Decompression of Spinal Nerves: It widens the spinal canal (foramen), providing more space for nerves and effectively reducing symptoms of sciatica, numbness, and leg pain.

• Improved Disc Nutrition: The "pumping" action of the table facilitates imbibition—the process of drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients into the spinal discs to promote healing and hydration.

• Conservative Alternative to Surgery: It is frequently used to manage conditions like spinal stenosis or "failed back surgery syndrome," potentially delaying or eliminating the need for invasive procedures.
