What Is Flexion-Distraction Therapy?
Flexion-distraction therapy is a type of chiropractic treatment that is commonly used to alleviate low back pain. . During the treatment, the patient lies face down on a specially designed table while the chiropractor applies a gentle stretching motion to the spine.

One study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine found that patients with low back pain who underwent flexion-distraction therapy experienced significant improvements in quality of life, as well as reductions in pain and disability. These findings suggest that flexion-distraction therapy can be an effective treatment option for low back pain, particularly for those who may not be good candidates for more invasive treatments like surgery.
In addition to its immediate physical benefits, flexion-distraction therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that does not involve the use of medication, making it a safe and potentially effective treatment option for many patients with low back pain.
