Flexion-Distraction

 Flexion-Distraction is a highly researched chiropractic technique that is primarily used for the treatment of low back pain. During this technique, the patient is lying face down on a table while the doctor provides a light and controlled force with his hand on the low back. With a lever attached to the end of the table, the doctor is able to move the bottom half of the table in a fluid up-and-down motion. This technique is commonly used in patients with low back pain in order to provide motion in an area that is not moving well.
