Flexion-Distraction
The doctors at Stout Chiropractic Clinic use lumbar flexion-distraction, a technique developed by Dr. James Cox of Fort Wayne, IN. It is considered the “gold standard” and is used by physicians worldwide to treat low back & leg pain, & other spinal pain conditions. The specially engineered table is hinged, in the middle, and allows the chiropractor to very specifically traction or stretch a specific area of the spine. The technique is comfortable and creates a negative pressure on the disc which reduces bulging, swelling and relieves nerve pressure. At Stout Chiropractic, we prefer this well researched “hands-on” approach to spinal care vs. mechanical, computer operated, decompression therapy.
