Flexion‑Distraction Technique

Flexion-Distraction Technique: Gentle Spinal Decompression to Support Movement

At Rebound Integrative Sports and Health Clinics, we offer the Flexion-Distraction Technique — a non-surgical, low-force chiropractic method designed to reduce spinal pressure, support joint function, and help with overall mobility. This technique uses a specialized table that gently stretches and decompresses the spine, making it ideal for individuals seeking natural care without forceful manipulation.

Flexion-Distraction is often used to help with:

• Stiffness or tension in the lower back or neck
• General discomfort related to movement or posture
• Reduced range of motion
• Localized nerve irritation or sensitivity
• Muscle tightness from repetitive stress or sitting

During treatment, you’ll lie face down on a specially designed table while your provider applies light, rhythmic movements to the spine. These motions help create space between spinal segments, which may relieve pressure, increase circulation, and support healthy joint function.

This technique is well-suited for people who prefer a gentle, movement-based approach to spinal care. It’s commonly integrated into care plans alongside other therapies to help treat motion restrictions, support recovery, and improve overall musculoskeletal balance.

At Rebound Clinics DMV, Flexion-Distraction is part of our commitment to safe, personalized, and effective chiropractic care — helping you move with more comfort and confidence.
