Relax, Align, and Heal with Intersegmental Traction Therapy
Our intersegmental traction therapy gently mobilizes the spine, providing relief from pain and stiffness while promoting alignment and flexibility.
What is Intersegmental Traction Therapy
Intersegmental traction therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches and mobilizes the spine. Using a specialized traction table, the therapy applies a smooth, rhythmic motion to each vertebra, encouraging spinal decompression, improving circulation, and reducing muscle stiffness.
This therapy is ideal for patients experiencing spinal misalignment, stiffness, or pain related to poor posture, daily wear and tear, or injury. At Lucas Chiropractic, we incorporate intersegmental traction therapy to help patients relieve discomfort, improve flexibility, and support spinal health.
