Here is a look into the chiropractic world. Special tables exist that improve a chiropractors benefits to you.

This Leander 960 Chiropractic Adjusting Table has a special feature that is called flexion distraction in the chiropractic lingo. Flexion distraction pumps the spinal discs getting more nutrition to them. A person with chronic back pain has fixated joints in the painful part of the back. The motion of the discs in the spine is reduced in this area and less nutrition gets to the disc. Flexion distraction increases that nutrition. Most patients like the motion as it is not unlike a massage and goes deep into the muscles and joints.

Without boring you too much, how does the flexion distraction accomplish its purpose? Discs have no blood supply. The only way any part of the body gets nutrition is through the flow of nutrients from the blood. The spinal vertebrae have a blood supply. Where the disc attaches to the bottom and top of the vertebra, nutrients from blood flows into the disc when a vacuum is created in the disc that sucks in the nutrients from the blood passing by in the vertebrae. This is kind of cool. Especially when a person walks or runs the amount of pressure on the spine goes up and down with each step. A vacuum is created with less pressure and reversed with more pressure. The disc sucks in nutrients with less pressure and waste products are pushed out with more.  The technical term for this sucking in of nutrients is called imbibition from the word imbibe.

When you are on this table, we increase your spinal health with flexion distraction. This table has other special features that are valuable to chiropractors. You might need and want to receive this special benefit when you see a chiropractor. Come in and get this special benefit.
