Flexion Distraction Technique is a chiropractic technique for spinal manipulation that utilizes a specially designed segmented adjustment table. Developed by Dr. James M. Cox in the 1960s, this specialized treatment approach addresses disc-related issues and other spinal conditions particularly affecting the lumbar region. Here are some of the common conditions that the flexion distraction technique may be used to treat:
Dr. Thatcher is very professional, and takes care of his patients needs. My personal experience was after my car accident I went to his office, he had me get an X-ray before an adjustment. Which I'm glad he did because the adjustments are curated around the injuries I sustained. Also when it comes to scheduling and short notice; he's extremely accommodating, I've been to a chiropractor before that had me there for hours each session. Dr. Thatcher however gets you seen/treated in no time. So highly recommend for anyone who's been in an accident or even needs some type of adjustment.

During this treatment, the patient lies face down on the specialized table. At the same time, the chiropractor applies gentle, controlled traction to specific spine segments, creating a cyclical motion that flexes and distracts the vertebrae. The low force and rhythmic movement help to promote spinal health and pain relief by enhancing fluid exchange within the intervertebral discs, reducing pressure on spinal nerves, increasing spinal mobility, and stimulating the natural healing processes of the spine.
