Understanding Flexion Distraction
Flexion distraction is a specialized mechanical traction therapeutic technique that uses gentle stretching and decompression of the spine to relieve pressure of the discs and joints, and promote healing. Using state-of-the-art equipment at our Bell Road clinic, we create negative pressure which sucks fluids and nutrients within the disc spaces, allowing for:
- Natural disc healing
- Reduced nerve pressure
- Improved spinal movement
- Enhanced nutrient flow
- Decreased inflammation
