Flexion-distraction is a gentle, low-force chiropractic technique that uses controlled, rhythmic movement of the spine to reduce pressure on spinal joints, discs, and surrounding tissues. It is performed on a specialized adjusting table that gently moves the affected area through flexion, distraction and lateral bend as tolerated by the patient. Flexion-distraction is commonly used to help manage low back pain, disc-related conditions such as acute or chronic herniations, sciatica, spinal stenosis, muscular spasm and certain neck and mid-back conditions. It can be particularly useful for patients who prefer a gentler approach or who may not tolerate traditional high-velocity spinal adjustments. Treatment is individualized based on the patient's symptoms, examination findings, and specific condition.
