Gentle Relief for Spine and Disc Issues

If you’re struggling with chronic back pain, disc problems, or sciatica, Flexion Distraction Therapy may be the solution you’ve been searching for. This gentle, non-surgical chiropractic technique is highly effective for relieving pressure on the spine, reducing nerve irritation, and promoting long-term healing.

At Allied Healthcare, we use flexion distraction therapy to help clients recover from spinal conditions without forceful manipulation—making it ideal for a wide range of individuals, including older adults, post-surgical patients, and those in acute pain.

What Is Flexion Distraction Therapy?

Flexion distraction therapy is a specialized form of spinal decompression performed on a motorized table known as a flexion-distraction table. This table allows controlled, rhythmic flexing and stretching of the spine, guided by your chiropractor’s hands.

Rather than using high-force adjustments, your spine is gently mobilized in a way that:

  • Reduces pressure on spinal discs
  • Increases spinal motion and flexibility
  • Relieves pressure on spinal nerves
  • Promotes circulation and nutrient flow to injured tissues

This method is FDA-approved and widely supported in clinical literature, especially for managing lumbar disc herniations, sciatica, facet joint pain, and spinal stenosis.

How Does It Work?

During a session, you'll lie face down on the specialized table. The lower half of the table moves slowly up and down in a flexing motion, controlled entirely by your provider. As your spine is gently stretched, the chiropractor applies precise manual pressure to specific spinal segments. This process decompresses the discs and joints while improving alignment and mobility.

Unlike traditional chiropractic techniques, flexion distraction therapy is painless and relaxing. Many patients describe it as feeling similar to a slow, controlled stretch or light traction.

What Conditions Can It Help?

Flexion distraction therapy is especially effective for:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica and nerve impingement
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Post-surgical back pain
  • Facet joint syndrome
  • Scoliosis (mild to moderate cases)
  • Chronic lower back or neck pain

It can be safely used in acute and chronic cases, and is often combined with other treatments like massage therapy, acupuncture, or rehabilitative exercise for comprehensive care.
