Richmond Hill Flexion - Distraction Therapy

​

​​

​​

​​

​

Flexion-distraction is a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic technique used to relieve pressure on the spine, spinal discs, and nerves.

Using a specialized treatment table, the spine is slowly and rhythmically stretched and flexed in controlled motions. These movements help create space between the vertebrae, reducing compression and promoting natural healing.

​

Conditions It Can Help With

Flexion-distraction is effective for a variety of spine-related conditions, including:

• Disc bulges and herniations

• Sciatica and radiating leg pain

• Spinal stenosis

• Degenerative disc disease

• Lumbar facet syndrome

• Chronic low back pain

• Pelvic pain

• Scoliosis

• Nerve impingement

• Stiffness or reduced spinal mobility

​

It’s also beneficial for those seeking relief from low back and leg pain without the use of forceful spinal adjustments.
