Lumbar Flexion Distraction in Chatsworth CA

If you are getting low back pain then you would know exactly how painful the condition can be. It engulfs every aspect of life from work to relations. The good news is that at present there are many nonsurgical treatments available to cope with low back pain. These include treatment for lumbar flexion distraction.

Lumbar flexion-distraction therapy in Chatsworth CA (also known as a Cox technology table) uses advanced technology to achieve the purpose of curing low back pain in in a noninvasive, chiropractic way by applying a specialized table to stretch and flex the spine slowly and gently, aiming at alleviating the pressure on the intervertebral discs and nerves to relieve back pain and, then, to improve the movement of the back and to restore it to normalcy naturally.

How Spinal Misalignment Affects the Nervous System in Chatsworth CA

Made up of vertebrae attached by horizontal facets (also known as zygapophyseal joints) that permit motion and bear weight, with cushioning discs (one per couple of vertebrae) that keep space and prevent the vertebrae from rubbing against each other, what can go wrong? An accident from sports, a bad posture or prolonged sitting can displace vertebrae, leading to protruding or herniated discs that press a nerve, resulting in headache, shivers, numbness, soreness, weakness, or any symptom based on the nerve affected. The flexion distraction maneuver decompresses and stabilizes the area by relieving nerve pressure, reducing disc compression, and correcting spinal balance.

How Flexion Distraction Therapy is Performed

Cox also developed flexion distraction, a hands-on, no-scalpel technique of surgical disc-space widening with the patient in the prone position on a chiropractic ‘drop’ table. Yes again, Cox was a key source for early scientific ideas in this area. Cox’s flexion distraction techniques comprise a combination of repeated and graded small amounts of flexion distraction at areas of spinal instability secondary to disc herniation and compression degeneration.

In such a human-equivalent treatment, the chiropractor will apply a series of tiny, highly controlled thrusts (less than the size of a credit card and in combination with a table that distracts or stretches the spine in this way called tableside cyclic distraction, which, while pulling the spine into position, creates passive spine flexion) over the irritated vertebrae to in effect pull it back into alignment) once the negative pull sucks the disc back into the disc annulus space to desiccate the bulge, remove the nerve pressure and provide the range of motion to get rid of the pain (because the nutrients have a farther way to reach to re-enter its space).

Flexion distraction is a procedure that removes pain without causing additional discomfort. Most people find the experience very comfortable and relaxing without any pain.

Conditions Helped with Flexion Distraction

Lumbar flexion distraction can treat several lumbar conditions:

• Lower back pain
• Sciatica
• Arthritis
• Lumbar disc injuries like herniated, bulging, or ruptured discs
• Sprains and strains
• Scoliosis
• Spinal stenosis, or narrowing of the spinal canal
• Failed back surgical syndrome
• Spondylolisthesis

By distraction, extension, and gentle posterior held movement, lumbar flexion distraction has clinically been proven to in fact open your spinal canal relieving the pressure on your nerve, restoring the spinal joint motion and the height of your bulge in the disk eliminating the pressure in your disc. Thousands of patients around the world with lumbar spinal stenosis and many others with failed back surgery syndrome have completed thousands of clinical studies proving that flexion distraction has provided a very significant reduction of their pain. For your failed back surgery syndrome, your failed back surgery, your disc injury, your back injury, your sciatica and your back pain in general, flexion distraction with the BackDecom chair is a conservative treatment, safe, non-invasive, drug-free and natural approach.

How does lumbar flexion distraction therapy work?

In lumbar flexion distraction therapy, the patient is lying face down on a special table: the part of the table in contact with the patient’s lower back and the hips are movable sections that isolate the lumbar spine from the rest of the body. Then the chiropractor applies a force via leverage or a gentle pulling movement to bend and stretch the lumbar spine, which opens up more space between the spinal discs. This relieves the pressure off of the nerve roots, reduces spasms, decreases inflammation, and surgical or drug intervention is not required in many cases. The treatment doesn’t involve using drugs, and there is no significant side effects for patients of any age.

In addition to lumbar flexion-distraction therapy, our chiropractors at ChiroFit Studio may also recommend other treatments to help manage your low back pain. These may include:

• Spinal Adjustments: Spinal adjustments involve applying controlled force to the spine to realign vertebrae and improve joint mobility. This can help to alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and promote healing.
• Massage Therapy: Massage therapy can help to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation, which can help to alleviate low back pain.
• Exercise Rehabilitation: Exercise rehabilitation can help to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility, which can reduce low back pain and prevent future injuries.
• Acupuncture: Acupuncture can help to reduce pain and inflammation by stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
