Have you ever wondered why we do more Flexion-Distraction therapy (table gently stretches out your low back) instead of the typical adjustment in the low back for disc issues and degeneration/arthritis?
This article proves why this is effective! The study used 96 participants with degenerative disc disease and through 3-5 minutes of flexion-distraction daily showed significant improvement in intervertebral height, degree of pain, and spinal mobility (p<0.05)!
This type of therapy is effective in treating several conditions including disc herniations, bulges, low back strain or even general low back pain. Check out the study below:
