Flexion-Distraction, (F/D) is a gentle, chiropractic treatment procedure utilized for back pain. Flexion-Distraction is a safe alternative to back surgery for those 95% of patients whose conditions do not demand surgical intervention. The doctor is in control of the treatment movements at all times.
Flexion-Distraction creates a “push, pull, pumping” effect on the space between the discs in your spine reducing pressure, soothing and realigning the joints and nourishing spinal discs.
