Flexion-Distraction technique requires a specific Chiropractic table which bends at the location of the lumbar spine (low back). It is used to help increase motion in the lumbar joints, decrease compression on the lumbar discs, and help alleviate pain from disc bulges and herniations. It also works well for the cervical spine (neck) and pathologies associated with degeneration of the joints of the spine (arthritis).
