“Flexion Distraction is one of the most effective, non-invasive, and scientifically supported techniques for reducing spinal disc pressure and relieving nerve pain.”
– Dr. Gordon Fimreite

What Is Flexion Distraction Therapy?

Flexion Distraction is a specialized chiropractic technique performed on a segmented, precision-controlled table. Dr. Fimreite uses a high-quality Hill Air-Flex flexion distraction table designed to:

Gently stretch and decompress the spine
Lower intradiscal pressure in bulging or herniated discs
Increase spinal canal space for irritated nerves
Improve mobility in restricted spinal joints
Stimulate natural healing within the disc

There is no cracking or twisting — this therapy is smooth, rhythmic, and low-force, making it ideal for patients needing gentle treatment.

How the Treatment Works

Create negative pressure inside the disc: Helps retract bulging or herniated material away from the nerve root.
Open the spinal canal: Reduces compression on irritated nerves, often easing leg pain from sciatica.
Improve disc hydration and nutrient flow: Encourages natural healing in injured discs.
Restore joint mobility: Smooth, controlled motion reduces inflammation and muscle tension.
