  • Ep 7: What is Flexion Distraction?
    Jan 20 2022

    So many Americans deal with back and spinal pain at some point in their lives that stems from either mechanical or neurological problems. Flexion-distraction is one of the treatments for these spinal pain issues and it can even provide benefits to your overall health as well. Join us as we demonstrate flexion-distraction and explain how it helps our clients.  

    It’s a little bit easier to explain how it all works when you can see it, which is why we also demonstrate flexion-distraction on the show. So if you’re only listening to it, make sure you watch the video as well because you’ll actually get to see the process on Tri.
