Chiropractor, Dr. Ken Brassington, explains the two most common causes for disc herniations and how the chiropractic team at Physio Logic uses Flexion Distraction Decompression to treat this kind of injury.

What is Flexion Distraction Decompression?

Flexion Distraction Decompression is a therapeutic technique used to treat people with a variety of pain syndromes that have not responded to other treatment approaches.

It is a gentle chiropractic treatment procedure utilized for spinal pain.

This procedure is performed on a uniquely designed table and is based on a distractive force (supplied with the doctor’s hand) combined with table motion. Flexion distraction technique uses the table to restore normal physiological range of motion to the spinal joints. Flexion distraction manipulation is a gentle, non-force adjusting procedure which works with the body’s natural design to aid it in healing properly.

The goals of the flexion distraction adjustment include transfer of metabolites into the spinal disc, decreasing intradiscal pressures and decompressing inflamed/compressed spinal nerve roots.

In short, it reduces the pressure within the spinal discs.
