Spinal Decompression Therapy in Macquarie Park & Lindfield

At Pelvic & Movement Clinic, we use a specialised flexion-distraction table to perform spinal decompression therapy, a safe, non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pain and restore function in patients with spinal disorders. This therapy is particularly effective for herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis.

How Spinal Decompression Works

During treatment, you lie comfortably on the flexion-distraction table, which gently moves in controlled directions to combine flexion (bending) and distraction (stretching/decompression). These movements:

  • Alleviate pressure on spinal nerves and intervertebral discs
  • Increase space between vertebrae
  • Improve spinal mobility and flexibility
  • Reduce pain associated with herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis

Flexion-distraction therapy is dynamic and hands-on, allowing our practitioners to use the table’s movements along with manual adjustments to target specific areas of the spine. This combination not only relieves pressure but also enhances spinal mobility and addresses the root cause of pain.

In contrast, traditional lumbar traction typically applies a static, continuous pull to stretch and decompress the lower back. While it provides some relief, it lacks the targeted, adjustable movements and combined benefits of flexion-distraction therapy, which improve both decompression and spinal function.
