Flexion/Distraction (Disc Herniation Therapy)

Flexion/Distraction is a couple of therapies in one; it is considered a form of chiropractic manipulative therapy, myofascial release therapy, and decompression therapy. This therapy focuses on mobilizing the thoracolumbar, lumbar, and lumbosacral spine while releasing tension in the surrounding tissue, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This therapy moves the lower body into flexion and extension (down and up), lateral (side to side), and circular motion. 

This therapy can help with: 

• Disc herniation/bulging
• sciatica
• Muscle tension
• numbness and tingling down the legs
• radiating pain
• Chronic low back pain
