Flexion distraction is a chiropractic technique that uses a special table to stretch the lower spine in different directions, both helping to restore normal mobility and relieve pressure on tight areas.

This is a gentle, low-velocity technique is appreciated by many patients and is particularly useful for those with disc-related problems or abnormal spinal curves causing lower back irritation.

By gently separating and moving the joints, flexion distraction techniques can increase disc height, normalise joint movement, and reduce pressure on the nerves exiting the spine. Typically, patients lie face down on the hinged, which can move towards the floor, from side to side, or rotate.
