Intersegmental Traction Therapy

Enhanced Spinal Mobility and Relaxation

Intersegmental traction, or roller table therapy, is a specialized treatment that helps restore spinal mobility while providing deep muscle relaxation. Patients lie on a traction table equipped with rollers that move gently along the spine, stretching the muscles and ligaments.

The motion is often compared to a soothing massage that moves from the neck to the lower back, helping to alleviate muscle tension and prepare the body for chiropractic adjustments.

How This Therapy Helps Relieve Pain

The intersegmental traction table mobilizes the spinal column, promotes flexibility, and reduces stiffness. As the rollers glide along the spine, they simulate the motion of a massage, helping to reduce muscle spasms and improve blood flow.

This gentle, rhythmic motion helps relieve back pain and provides a calming experience while listening to soothing music in our spa-like environment.

Conditions Improved with Intersegmental Traction Therapy

Intersegmental traction therapy is effective for a variety of spinal and muscular conditions, including

• Chronic back pain
• Muscle spasms
• Reduced range of motion
• Postural imbalances
• General muscle tension

This method particularly benefits patients who experience muscle stiffness and discomfort before or after chiropractic adjustments. Promoting relaxation allows for more effective adjustments and helps speed up the recovery process.
