At Star Chiro Flower Mound, intersegmental traction therapy helps restore movement to the spine by gently stretching and mobilizing the vertebral joints. This rhythmic motion increases circulation, hydrates the spinal discs, and promotes flexibility — a vital part of the healing process for patients with stiffness, tension, or pain.
You’ll lie comfortably on a specialized traction table that moves in smooth, rolling motions along your spine. As the rollers travel up and down, they gently stretch the muscles and ligaments, improving flexibility and helping nutrients flow into the discs between each vertebra. This process promotes natural healing, reduces muscle tightness, and prepares your body for chiropractic adjustments.
Intersegmental traction is painless, relaxing, and highly effective. It’s often described as a “spinal massage” that helps relieve tension, improve posture, and support recovery from injuries or chronic back discomfort.
