I use a flexion distraction table to treat most low back conditions. Flexion Distraction is a chiropractic technique used to treat many conditions of the lumbar spine. It is a non-surgical technique aimed at increasing spinal motion and resolving disc bulges and disc herniations. The goal of Flexion Distraction is to decompress the spine by applying gentle stretching or traction to the lower spine. The combination of this special adjustment table and very gentle pressure utilizes flexion-distraction and decompression to increase the disc height between vertebrae, decompressing the spinal column and restoring the spinal joints to their proper alignment and range of motion. The chiropractor can adjust the different sections of the table to neutralize the effects of gravity and then apply gentle pressure to the affected areas as they move through a more normal range of motion. Movements are repetitive and usually slow, without any quick thrusts or undue pressure.
The Flexion distraction technique has been found to:

reduce pressure within the disc
widen the spinal canal
improve range of motion in spinal joints and in arms, legs, and shoulders
improve posture
reduce pressure on spinal nerves
increase circulation
improve nerve communication
