Flexion-Distraction Therapy is a highly effective chiropractic technique that offers relief for various spinal conditions without the need for surgery or medication. At Laurelwood Chiropractic Wellness Centre, both Dr. Sheldon and Dr. Marco specialize in this gentle treatment, helping patients achieve pain relief and improved mobility. Let’s dive into what Flexion-Distraction Therapy is, the conditions it treats, and why it’s an excellent non-invasive option.
What is Flexion-Distraction Therapy?
Flexion-Distraction Therapy involves the use of a specialized, adjustable chiropractic table designed to gently stretch and move the spine in specific directions. The chiropractor guides the table’s movements while performing manual adjustments, targeting areas of the spine that are causing pain or dysfunction. This process decompresses the spine, alleviates pressure on nerves and discs, and improves spinal alignment.
This technique is safe, customizable, and suitable for patients of all ages, making it an ideal option for those seeking a non-invasive treatment for their back and neck issues.
Conditions Treated with Flexion-Distraction Therapy
Flexion-Distraction Therapy is particularly effective for treating a variety of spinal conditions, including:
- Herniated or Bulging Discs
By reducing pressure on the discs, this therapy allows the disc material to return to its proper position, relieving nerve irritation and pain. - Sciatica
It helps alleviate sciatic nerve pain by decompressing the lower spine and reducing inflammation around the nerve. - Spinal Stenosis
The gentle stretching creates more space in the spinal canal, reducing nerve compression and associated discomfort. - Chronic Low Back Pain
Flexion-Distraction Therapy addresses underlying causes of persistent low back pain, providing long-term relief. - Facet Joint Syndrome
The technique restores proper movement and reduces stiffness in the spinal joints, relieving pain and improving flexibility. - Spondylolisthesis
By gently mobilizing the spine, this therapy helps reduce pain and improve spinal stability in cases of vertebral slippage. - Post-Surgical Spinal Pain
For patients recovering from spinal surgery, Flexion-Distraction Therapy can be a gentle way to manage lingering pain and aid recovery.
Why Flexion-Distraction Therapy is a Great Non-Invasive Option
