At Active Health Chiropractic, we offer a variety of specialized techniques designed to address lower back pain, including Lumbar Flexion and Distraction. This method is highly effective for patients dealing with herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain. By using gentle traction combined with flexion movements, this technique helps alleviate pressure on the spine and restore proper mobility, providing long-term relief for many common back issues.

About Lumbar Flexion and Distraction

Lumbar Flexion and Distraction is a non-invasive chiropractic technique that specifically targets the lumbar spine. By using a specially designed table that flexes and distracts the spine, this technique creates negative pressure within the discs, allowing herniated or bulging material to be reabsorbed.

It also helps stretch tight muscles and ligaments, reducing inflammation and improving overall spinal function. This method is ideal for patients who need a gentle yet effective approach to spinal decompression and pain relief.

What to Expect During Treatment

When you undergo Lumbar Flexion and Distraction at Active Health Chiropractic, you can expect a comfortable and controlled experience. Your chiropractor will guide you through the treatment, ensuring that each movement is carefully calibrated to your condition and comfort level. Most patients experience a gentle stretching sensation, with minimal discomfort, and many report feeling immediate relief after just one session. The procedure is often combined with other therapies such as soft tissue work or rehabilitative exercises to maximize your results.
