#4 of 10 Ways We Help Lower Back Pain: 𝗟𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
⭐Not every patient with lower back pain needs or wants a forceful adjustment.
Lumbar flexion-distraction is a gentle, non-thrust chiropractic technique performed on a specialized table that allows us to carefully stretch, flex, and mobilize the lower spine.
While the doctor stabilizes a specific area of the lumbar spine, the table moves in a controlled manner to create gentle distraction. This technique can help:
✓ Reduce pressure on spinal discs
✓ Decrease irritation around sensitive spinal structures
✓ Improve lumbar mobility and flexibility
✓ Reduce muscle tightness and spasm
✓ Provide a gentle option for patients who may not tolerate traditional manipulation
We commonly incorporate flexion-distraction into treatment plans for patients with disc bulges or herniations, degenerative changes, sciatica, spinal stiffness, and certain types of chronic lower back pain.
One of the biggest advantages? It allows us to work with the lower back without the twisting or rapid thrust associated with some traditional chiropractic techniques.
This is #4 in our “10 Ways We Help Lower Back Pain” series. The key isn’t choosing one treatment for everyone—it’s determining what is contributing to your pain and selecting the right combination of treatments for you.
