How Does Flexion Distraction Technique Relieve Spinal Pain?

Different people experience some sort of pain in their muscles and joints every day. For the lucky ones, the unpleasant symptoms disappear after a short period, while some are left to battle chronic pain for years. Although some over the counter pain medication can help temporarily, it comes with uncomfortable side effects that make it challenging to perform normal chores. 

The Flexion Distraction technique is a natural, non-invasive treatment method used by chiropractors to provide an alternative and effective pain relief option. There are numerous ways to effectively treat an injury in the musculoskeletal system. We pride ourselves on choosing the correct treatment technique and equipment for every disorder, which hastens the natural healing process.

How Does the Flexion-Distraction Technique Work?

The Flexion Distraction technique's objective is to unknot compressed spinal discs by gently stretching your vertebrae column. The procedure is usually performed on a special table that moves rhythmically up and down as your Fairfax Chiropractor manipulates your spine. 

You lie on the table facing downward with your ankles comfortably secured using a strap. The chiropractic manipulations and the table’s movements help gently stretch and unknot your spine. The doctor eliminates all active movement by the patient, which allows room for the affected region to decompress without interference. The changes in the body position during the procedure promote healing by relieving your neck, back, leg, or arm pain.

What Are the Benefits of the Flexion Distraction Technique?

The Flexion Distraction techniques provide your joints with great cushion and support techniques, in addition to relieving pressure on the spinal nerves. It also: 

• Decreases pressure on the spinal discs and nerves 
• Treats protruding herniated discs
