FLEXION-DISTRACTION TECHNIQUE

THE GENTLE ADJUSTMENT

The notorious cracking and popping after an adjustment is what most people think of when it comes to chiropractors. The flexion-distraction technique however allows us to get similar improvements in joint range of motion without the aggressive nature of diversified adjustments. This is helpful for people dealing to osteoporosis as seen in the elderly. It can also be useful for reducing lumbar spine radiculopathy which is pain shooting into the lower extremities due to nerve irritation in the lower back. And oh yeah, it feels amazing for all age groups.
