Intersegmental Traction Table Therapy

A Relaxing, Effective Way to Support Spinal Health & Relieve Back Pain

At New Hope Family Chiropractic, we offer intersegmental traction therapy—a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses smooth rolling motion along your spine to stretch muscles, ligaments, and joints. It promotes better mobility, circulation, and overall spinal wellness while reducing back pain and stiffness.

It’s an excellent complement to our chiropractic adjustment services and other natural therapies offered in our comprehensive treatment plans.

What Is Intersegmental Traction Therapy?

This therapy involves lying on a specialized table with rolling rollers that move along the spine in a rhythmic pattern. These rollers help gently stretch soft tissues and mobilize spinal joints—relieving tension and encouraging the spine to move more freely.

According to the National Institutes of Health, spinal mobilization therapies like intersegmental traction can support disc hydration and promote long-term spinal health.

✅ Key Benefits of Intersegmental Traction

✅ 1. Improves Spinal Mobility

The rolling action helps restore motion in the spine by gently mobilizing vertebral joints. Ideal for those with poor posture, stiffness, or chronic back issues.

✅ 2. Boosts Circulation to Discs & Muscles

Enhanced blood flow helps hydrate discs and nourish spinal tissues, promoting faster healing and reducing inflammation.

✅ 3. Reduces Muscle Tension & Spasms

Gentle stretching relaxes tight muscles and reduces spasms, improving alignment and easing pressure on surrounding nerves.

✅ 4. Enhances Chiropractic Adjustments

Using the table before or after an adjustment session can relax muscles, prepare the spine, and extend the benefits of your chiropractic care.

✅ 5. Encourages Relaxation

Patients often describe the treatment as massage-like and calming. It helps reduce stress while supporting your healing journey.

A Safe, Comfortable Addition to Your Chiropractic Care

Intersegmental traction is suitable for all ages and body types. Sessions typically last about 10 minutes and are often recommended before or after chiropractic adjustments to maximize results.
