Find Relief with Flexion Distraction in Westerville, OH
Are You Tired of Living with Pain or Discomfort?
If you struggle with disc issues, sciatica, or spinal stenosis, Flexion Distraction provides a safe and effective solution. This gentle chiropractic technique stretches and decompresses the spine, relieving pressure on nerves and reducing pain without the forceful adjustments of traditional chiropractic care. At Hughes Health, we believe in providing personalized, effective care that addresses the root cause of your pain. Our experienced chiropractors will assess your condition and determine if Flexion Distraction Therapy is the right choice for you.
What Is Flexion Distraction?
The Flexion Distraction Technique is a therapeutic chiropractic method performed on a specialized table that gently moves your spine through a rhythmic, traction-like motion. This technique uses controlled stretching and decompression to relieve pressure on the discs, nerves, and joints of the spine.
Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments that involve rapid movements, flexion distraction is a slower, more comfortable approach that is well-suited for patients with sensitive conditions.
Who Can Benefit from Flexion Distraction?
Flexion Distraction Therapy is ideal for individuals who experience:
Chronic or acute lower back pain
Disc herniations or bulges
Sciatica or nerve-related pain
Degenerative disc disease
Facet joint syndrome
This technique is also highly effective for those who may not tolerate traditional adjustments or have undergone previous spinal surgeries.
How Does It Work?
During a Flexion Distraction session, your chiropractor will use the specialized table to apply gentle, targeted movements to your spine. This process:
✅ Relieves Pressure: Decompresses the spine, reducing pressure on discs and nerves.
✅ Reduces Pain and Inflammation: Encourages the flow of nutrients to the damaged areas, promoting faster healing.
✅ Restores Mobility: Improves flexibility and range of motion in the spine.
✅ Enhances Healing: Stimulates natural healing processes without the need for medication or invasive procedures.
✅ Prevents Surgery: For some patients, consistent treatment with flexion distraction can reduce or eliminate the need for surgery.
What Are the Top 5 Conditions Flexion Distraction Treats Best?
Herniated or Bulging Discs: Alleviates pressure on nerves caused by disc herniations.
Sciatica: Relieves pain radiating down the leg due to nerve compression.
Spinal Stenosis: Reduces discomfort caused by narrowing of the spinal canal.
Facet Syndrome: Addresses pain from irritated or inflamed facet joints.
Post-Surgical Pain: Supports recovery and relieves residual pain from previous back surgeries.
What's the Difference Between Flexion Distraction and Traditional Chiropractic Adjustments?
While both methods aim to relieve pain and restore function, there are key differences:
Gentle Movement: Flexion distraction uses smooth, repetitive motions, making it ideal for patients who are sensitive to manual adjustments.
Disc and Nerve Focused: It specifically targets disc issues, nerve pain, and conditions that benefit from spinal decompression.
Low Force Technique: Traditional adjustments often involve quicker, forceful movements, whereas flexion distraction is gentle and controlled.
The treatment techniques can also be combined by performing Flexion Distraction first to relieve the tension in the muscles and spine before performing a traditional adjustment.
