A Great Treatment for Lower Back Pain | Chiropractor for Low Back Pain in Westlake, OH
Hello everyone, Dr. Greg here from Paramount Chiropractic. Today, I’m excited to introduce you to one of the most effective tools we have in our clinic for treating lower back conditions – the flexion-distraction table. This specialized table is a game-changer for individuals dealing with disc bulges, herniations, degenerative arthritis, and other lower back issues.
How the Flexion-Distraction Table Works
The flexion-distraction table operates on a unique principle, applying a decompressive force that gently stretches the spine. This action not only alleviates pressure on the discs but also promotes movement and flexibility. Here’s a breakdown of its functions:
- Decompressive Force: Initially, we extend the table to create a space between the vertebrae, which helps in relieving pressure on the discs.
- Flexion and Side-to-Side Movement: The table then flexes, bends, and can move side to side, simulating a natural pumping action in the discs. This movement enhances the health of the discs by ensuring they are properly hydrated and nourished, taking the pressure off the nerves in the process.
Demonstrating the Flexion-Distraction Technique
In a demonstration, you’ll see how we first extend the table to achieve decompression. Following this, we unlock the table to allow for its flexion and lateral movements. These actions are meticulously controlled to ensure they cater to the specific needs of each patient, whether it’s a general decompression or targeting a specific side due to a herniation.
The Benefits
Patients often report immediate relief after a session on the flexion-distraction table. The technique is not only effective in alleviating pain but also in promoting long-term spinal health. By improving spinal movement and reducing nerve pressure, we can significantly enhance the quality of life for those suffering from lower back conditions.
