Intersegmental Traction

Intersegmental traction is not the pulling type traction of old, used by hospitals. IST, as it is known, uses gentle motion to help mobilize and heal the spine. By moving up and down the spine, the IST heads help to free up restricted spinal joints, exercise and rehabilitate injured soft tissue, and expedite overall spinal healing. This gentle movement also encourages the process of imbibition, which forces nutrients into spinal intervertebral discs, and improves disc healing and overall spinal health. Along with Chiropractic adjustments, IST helps to free up and repair locked spinal facet joints and reduce the likelihood of spinal degeneration developing, or if already present, progressing.
The bottom line is that IST helps to expedite healing and speed recovery of your injured spine. This means you recover faster and more completely, and get out of pain and back to your life!
