INTERSEGMENTAL TRACTION TABLES FOR CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS
An intersegmental traction table, or roller table, is a tool that chiropractors use to gently re-establish the normal range of motion of the body’s spine. These tables offer patients many benefits.

BENEFITS OF USING AN INTERSEGMENTAL TRACTION TABLE
Some of the benefits include:

• Accelerate the recovery progress from a back injury.

• Return normal range of motion in the spine.

• Reduce muscle spasms that can be caused by weakened postural muscles or spinal injuries.

• Increase blood flow and oxygen to your spinal discs, ligaments, and muscles, which can improve balance and strength.

• The table can be adjusted to accommodate a patient’s comfort and can be used with all body types, including children.

HOW DOES THE ROLLER TABLE WORK?
Misaligned vertebrae and joints in the spine can hinder your movement, interrupting fluid circulation around the joints. This fluid circulation is vital for the health of our spine, vertebrae, discs and joints. The disruption of fluid circulation can eventually lead to thinning discs, which can impact your long-term range of motion and comfort.
The roller table helps by creating motion which can stretch the spinal joints and improve movement. It does this by mobilizing the spinal column while simultaneously stretching the muscles and ligaments. The patient lies face up on the table while the rollers beneath the surface gently move up and down the spine.
