What is Spinal Traction?
All of our Doctors of Chiropractic have trained in a special type of spinal traction called Cox flexion/distraction, which is a gentle spinal decompression technique designed to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. It involves a specific table that alternates between flexion (bending) and distraction (gentle pulling) to stretch the spine, improving circulation, and reducing pressure on pinched nerves. This method is especially effective for patients with disc herniations, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease, as it helps restore proper alignment and relieves pain by promoting healing of the affected tissues. It's a non-invasive, low-force treatment that is well-tolerated by many patients seeking relief from chronic back pain.
How Does it Work?
During a Spinal Traction session, our skilled practitioners utilize state-of-the-art equipment to carefully stretch and mobilize your spine. This controlled decompression creates space between vertebrae, reducing pressure on discs and nerves. As a result, circulation is improved, nutrients are delivered to the affected areas, and healing is promoted.
