Relief for Lower Back Pain, Sciatica, & Disc Injuries
If you’re struggling with lower back pain, sciatica, or a herniated disc, Flexion Distraction & Spinal Decompression may be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Backcountry Spine and Sport in State College, PA, our certified chiropractor utilizes the Cox Flexion Distraction Technique, a gentle, non-surgical method designed to relieve spinal pressure and restore mobility.
What is Flexion Distraction?
Flexion Distraction is a specialized chiropractic technique that uses a specially designed table to gently stretch and decompress the spine. This hands-on approach helps relieve pressure on discs and nerves, improving spinal motion and reducing pain without the need for surgery or medication.


Conditions Treated with Flexion Distraction:
This advanced technique is highly effective for a range of spinal conditions, including:
-
Herniated & Bulging Discs – Reduces disc pressure and promotes healing.
-
Sciatica & Pinched Nerves – Relieves nerve compression and radiating leg pain.
-
Lumbar Stenosis – Improves mobility by reducing pressure on the spinal canal.

How Flexion Distraction Works
Using precise, controlled movements, our doctor gently stretches and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This process allows bulging or herniated discs to retract, relieving nerve compression and promoting natural healing. The treatment is comfortable, effective, and backed by research to provide long-lasting relief.
