Can Flexion Distraction Treat My Problem?

Flexion Distraction Therapy is often associated with relief and treatment for several issues, particularly those involving the spine.

Pregnancy Related Back Pain

Flexion Distraction is particularly beneficial for pregnant women experiencing lower back and pelvic pain due to the additional strain on their spine.

Growth Spurt Pain

Growing bodies can experience spinal misalignments, leading to discomfort or pain. This technique helps in gently addressing these issues, ensuring your child’s spine stays healthy as they grow.

Herniated and Bulging Discs

Pregnancy can increase the risk of spinal injuries such as bulging or herniated discs. Flexion Distraction can help prevent or alleviate this pain by gently decompressing the spine and reducing pressure on affected discs.

Post-Surgical Spinal Pain

For individuals who have undergone spinal surgery, Flexion Distraction can be a gentle method to manage residual pain and improve spinal mobility during recovery.

Improved Mobility

Helps restore and maintain optimal spinal function, contributing to better overall health and comfort.

Sciatica

This technique is effective in relieving sciatic nerve pain by reducing the pressure on the sciatic nerve roots, often caused by spinal misalignments or disc issues.

Lower Back Pain

Flexion Distraction is widely used for managing chronic lower back pain, especially in cases where the pain is due to spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease.

Postural Strain

This therapy can relieve postural strain by improving spinal alignment and reducing the muscular imbalances that contribute to poor posture, especially during pregnancy.

Spinal Stenosis

The Flexion Distraction technique is effective in relieving symptoms of spinal stenosis by increasing the spinal canal space and reducing nerve compression.

Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP)

The therapy’s ability to realign the pelvis and reduce stress on the sacroiliac joints makes it a viable option for managing PGP.

Flexion Distraction Table

Dr. Railey can reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves by using a specialized table that gently moves your spine in a controlled manner. Our Flexion Distraction Table is designed to target the specific areas of your spine that need attention, promoting natural healing and pain relief.

How the Flexion Distraction Table Works

1️⃣ Gentle, Targeted Movement:
The table moves in a slow, controlled way, creating a gentle, rhythmic motion (both horizontally and vertically). This movement allows Dr. Railey to stretch and decompress specific areas of your spine without any sudden or forceful adjustments.

2️⃣ Pressure Relief:
As the table moves, it carefully separates and lowers the part of the table supporting your lower body, which helps to relieve pressure on your spinal discs and nerves. This gentle stretching creates more space between the vertebrae, reducing any pinching or irritation of the nerves.

3️⃣ Natural Healing Encouraged:
By gradually reducing pressure and improving circulation around the spine, the table helps your body begin its natural healing process. This can lead to pain relief, better mobility, and overall improved spinal health.

4️⃣ Comfort Throughout:
The entire process is designed to be comfortable and relaxing. You’ll feel a soothing stretch, not any sudden cracks or pops. Many patients find the experience calming and are often surprised at how effective such a gentle technique can be.
