Flexion Distraction
Flexion-Distraction is an excellent technique for the treatment of middle and low back pain. It is a gentle and extremely effective technique that helps to decompress the spine and remove pressure off the vertebral disc. In addition it restores range of motion to the spine and realigns the vertebrae. Dr. Bowden applies this technique for the treatment of:
- Bulging of herniated disc
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Numbness or tingling
- Osteoarthritis or degeneration of the spine
- Radiculitis or nerve pain
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Scoliosis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
Flexion-Distraction is the treatment of choice for those patients suffering with back pain. Most patients experience relief after 3 to 5 treatments. The treatments are comfortable and performed on a fully adjustable ergonomic table that can be fit to all body types including pregnant woman. Flexion Distraction should be considered for those whose pain has not responded to other types of care…this treatment can make all the different in removing and managing your pain permanently.
Percussor
Very effectively break up scan tissue and unwinds myofacial adhesion in the tissue. It is not painful and greatly speeds up the therapeutic process.
Percussor effective for:
- Deep and superficial facial release
- TPT
- Spinal correction
- Extremities form TMJ to plantar fascitis
- Cranial corrections
- Visceral manipulation
- Adhesion and scan tissue release
Treat myofascial and joint restrictions with comfort and speed. The percussor breaks down fascial restrictions and allows the joint to regain its range of motion hence reducing the cause of joint pain.
