Flexion Distraction
A gentle, non-surgical spinal technique that decompresses the lower back to relieve pressure on herniated discs, ease sciatica, and restore comfortable movement.
What Is Flexion-Distraction?
Flexion-distraction is a gentle, hands-on chiropractic technique performed on a specialized table that slowly flexes and stretches the spine. This motion creates negative pressure within the disc, helping to retract herniated material and relieve pressure on spinal nerves. Dr. Markowitz uses this technique to treat herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain without medication or surgery.
