What is Flexion-Distraction?
Spinal decompression is a chiropractic technique used to help treat many conditions associated with low back pain and neck pain. It is a non-surgical technique that aims to increase spinal motion and apply a decompressive effect to the joints of the spine. At RYSE Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Moss Bluff, LA (Lake Charles area), we deliver spinal decompression through a therapy called Flexion-Distraction.
How does Flexion-Distraction deliver Spinal Decompression?
At our office, flexion-distraction is performed on a table that is made to stretch and decompresses your spine. Often times our chiropractor will perform manual therapy (massage), if indicated, to the muscles of the low back while the table automatically moves up and down (to create flexion). The table gently pulls and flexes the low back vertebrae to create the spinal decompressive effect.
