01About the technique

What is intersegmental traction?

Intersegmental traction is a gentle, non-invasive therapy designed to re-establish normal motion in the spine. You lie comfortably on a specialized table while rollers move slowly beneath you.

That motion gently separates the vertebrae and creates a mild stretch through the spine. It helps decompress the joints and improves the flow of blood and oxygen into the discs, muscles, and spinal joints, all the things that keep your spine healthy and mobile.

Most patients find it deeply relaxing. It’s often used alongside adjustments to loosen the spine, reduce stiffness, and support better posture and movement.
