Flexion-Distraction Therapy is a type of manipulation that uses a special chiropractic table. The purpose of this therapy is to traction, or stretch, the spine. This can help relieve pressure on the spinal discs and other structures in the back. It may also help improve the range of motion and reduce inflammation.
This therapy is often used to treat low back pain and sciatica as well as many other spine-related conditions. In our office, we use Flexion-Distraction as one of several chiropractic techniques to help you find relief from pain and solve your underlying health problems.

Flexion-Distraction is a mild, safe, and controlled type of traction that’s been created especially for the treatment of back pain. A Flexion-Distraction table gently pulls the spine apart, stretching and elongating the muscles and ligaments around the discs. This helps to relieve pressure on the discs and promotes spinal healing.
Most people feel relief from their back pain after a few sessions on a Flexion-Distraction table. In fact, Flexion-Distraction is often one of the most successful treatments for chronic lower back pain.
How Flexion-Distraction Therapy Works
Flexion-distraction therapy is a manually operated technique that uses a special table to apply gentle, rhythmic pressure to the spine. The patient lies on the table face down, and the doctor attaches straps around the patient’s thighs and lower back. With the doctor’s manual adjustments, the traction table then gently stretches the spine, which helps decompress the discs and relieve pressure on the nerves. This pressure helps relieve pain by decompressing the discs between the vertebrae and increasing blood flow and nutrients to the spinal area.
The treatment is usually provided in a series of sessions, with each session lasting about 20 minutes. Most patients find the treatment to be relaxing and painless.
What Conditions Does Flexion-Distraction Therapy Treat?
Flexion-distraction therapy is most commonly used to treat several different conditions including:
What Are the Benefits of Flexion-Distraction Therapy?
There are many benefits of flexion-distraction therapy. In addition to providing relief from pain, this therapy can also help improve range of motion, increase flexibility, and reduce inflammation. Plus, it is a non-invasive treatment option. This means that there are no invasive surgeries which completely eliminates risks and side effects from the treatment. It’s also an all-natural treatment option, which means that there are no medications or prescriptions necessary.
Another benefit is that it can be an effective treatment for patients who have not responded well to other types of treatments such as physical therapy or epidural injections.
Research has found that patients who received Flexion-Distraction Therapy had significantly less pain than those who received no treatment or received another type of treatment such as acupuncture or massage.

Great place. They go above & beyond to not only treat your symptoms but get to the root of the problem. Having chiropractic and massage at the same place is also a big plus!
I have been going to 4th Ave Chiropractic for 5 years now and I couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention I get with the adjustments. It has greatly improved my quality of life.
Dr. Anthony has helped me so much to ensure I feel my best throughout my pregnancy! This isn’t your typical routine chiropractic office they tailor every appointment to your needs. Absolutely love him, couldn’t recommend home enough! 🤍
The VA sends me here for massage and I am so thankful that they finally got it right! After a deep tissue massage, I leave here feeling 100%better. I struggle to walk and work PT, and without this place, I would literally be stuck at home in bed with pain and nerve damage. But with my massages, I am able to work a few hours a week now!
This place is my go to when something is just a little off or I'm at the point I can't roll off the bed. Dr Anthony works miracles and Tonya makes the stress of my very stressful job go away. I'll never go anywhere else.
Very pleasant and helpful staff and doctors. A detailed plan for treatment was presented and explained. Questions were encouraged and answered to my satisfaction. I have noticed the improvement in my walking ability.
I love this place they very professional and very friendly and when I get done with my neck and back being cracked I feel so much better for a long time sleep much better to Highly recommend them and make sure you get a message to it is the best!
The staff is incredibly kind and patient and helpful! I could barely walk a flight of stairs and in less than a month i was taking stairs without even thinking about it!
I have had a great experience going to see Patrick at 4th Ave for massages and Dr. Jason for chiropractic. They have helped me deal with neck, shoulder and elbow pain.
I was impressed on my first visit!! Anthony Durant set up a corrective care plan of chiropractic adjustments and decompression after a discussion and xrays. I am very pleased with my progress.
I have been a patient of 4th Avenue Chiropractic since I was in my teens. That is over two decades of trusting and relying on this team to keep my body healthy. All of the doctors take a holistic approach to treating and maintaining a healthy and well functioning body. I also have had several massages with their team, and currently Lex is my LMT, and is beyond incredible. I cannot recommend 4th Ave Chiropractic enough!
Very knowledgeable and caring Doctors.. They take the time to examine and throughly evaluate your therapeutic needs.<br>I have been to several chiropractors and I have to say their knowledge and care is far beyond what I have ever experienced.
I can’t recommend 4th Ave chiropractic enough. I see Dr Anthony Durant and he has been incredibly dedicated to helping me get back to running again. I’ve dealt with unexplained knee pain and back pain for almost ten years and have seen countless providers with no clear answers. From the first visit with him he made me feel seen and heard and really seemed to care about helping his patients improve their quality of life. He also always takes the time to check in with me to see how things are going in my life, and cares about me as a whole. His front desk team is also so welcoming and kind, which makes this whole experience even better. I highly recommend!
Fourth Ave Chiropractic is a wonderful practice! The staff are all amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, quick to assist you; a well organized machine. Dr Jason is pure magic & has helped me immensely. I highly recommend this practice for anyone needed chiropractic care.
Dr anthony one of the best to ever do it anytime i go to him i feel like a brand new man my wife even asked me one day when i came home, wow you’re so limber i could just fold you up and put you in a v suit case if it wasn’t for Dr.Anthony I’d never be the man i am today thank you
Dr. Max and his team have been super helpful during my pregnancies and recoveries. I highly recommend them. My only regret is that I should have gone to chiro sooner before I was in a lot of pain.<br>-Stacey Putney
Couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received from Dr Anthony Durant. Knowledgeable, experienced, and transparent. He doesn’t treat your symptoms, he treats your problem(s). As a mechanic, I haven’t felt this great since before I became a mechanic. I highly recommend Fourth Ave.
Friendly staff at the front desk ready to serve. I see Lexi Miller for massage, and Dr. Durant for my chiropractic needs. Very clean operation they run there. Fantastic bedside manner on all accounts and very attentive. I have noticed a big change in my daily life combining adjustments and massage. My body is very grateful. I would highly recommend 4th Avenue Chiropractic.
I never fully knew or understood what going to a chiropractor was all about.<br>Last year, I was in a car accident and my body was sore and in pain. I was having back pain and neck pain to the point that it kept me awake at night. After the first adjustment, I felt so much better!<br><br>Dr Max was my chiropractor…he was patient with me, listened to my concerns and explained the treatment. He helps you understanding what's happening with your bones, muscles, and nervous system and body..<br><br>I am truly thankful for the staff here at Fourth Avenue Chiropractic. The ladies at the front desk (Shy & Emma… wish I could remember the other young ladies names) remember you at each visit which makes it a more personal experience to where you feel valued not just another face. I was not sure how it was going to work out with fitting appointments in with how busy my schedule is during the week but they were flexible to work around my schedule. Definitely a 5 star experience!<br>Thank you!
Best care, best front desk, a wonderful place to get treated. Dr. Max and Dr. Anthony have walked me thru my whole pregnancy and I’ve had such a great experience. Andy massage therapist Lex is the BEST!
Dr. Max has been assisting me with my recovery after a motorcycle accident. He has been so wonderful and I am happy to share that I am improving! The reception team is very friendly too. Would definitely recommend
Excellent service, great team all around. Dr. Max was very thorough, kind, and explained everything to me! I was adjusted, and quickly felt things moving. I am grateful that to have their care!
Pertaining to the people I have interacted with I can state the following: The staff shows a pleasant demeanor. They seem to be exceptionally accommodating professional, and very experienced in their line of practice. I have had and believe I will have an extraordinarily helpful and progressively healing experience. Thank you.
Dr. Durant is a scientist and likes to share his vast knowledge of the human body to promote healing in a holistic manner. He is extremely kind, gentle, and professional. He gives clear explanations about his methodology and builds a treatmentplan specific to the individual. He listens closely to the patient and honors their input and needs. Two appointments later and I am feeling much better! The entire team at 4th Avenue is easy to work with and is clear in communication.
Mackenzie is a talented massage therapist. First, she listened to my list of “aches and pains” and then created a massage plan to meet my specific needs. Being a senior client, MacKenzie understands my aging body’s tense and strained muscles, and used the right pressure to help with my jaw issues (TMJ) to start restoring health to my body and spirit. I strongly recommend her and Dr Max for chiropractic care too. I booked her for the next 4 weeks. Schedule now!
Everyone is so nice and personable. They listen to you. My visits always leave me feeling better. They are sure to ask how you are feeling and what is troubling you. That is what they focus on. I definitely recommend.
Professional and welcoming staff. Nice clean facility. Very sincere and personable treatment. I understand that this will be a journey and should part of a healthy routine. I have experienced pain relief. I look forward to each visit.
