 Hey, Dr. Ryan Alter, your Delray Beach Chiropractor. In our office, we use three different things. We use something called an Intersegmental Traction Table. We use the Chiropractic Adjustment. It’s the foundation of everything we do. And then we have, of course, the Chattanooga Spinal Decompression Tables.

 

And I wanted to explain to you why we use those things.  Most of the problems in the spine are mechanical in nature, meaning they don’t move, they’re fixated. It’s a moving thing like a joint or a hinge on a door. And it looks like this.  The vertebrae can shift backwards and get stuck.  And when it’s stuck like that, it’s not moving.

 

So the main problem is the joint is not moving, and if it doesn’t move long enough, it starts to decay. So the intersegmental traction table, it actually rolls through the spine and says, are you stuck? Are you stuck? Are you stuck? Mobilizing the spine. It’s like flossing your teeth for your spine. The chiropractic adjustment will actually get behind the vertebrae that’s in trouble and set it forward, again moving the vertebrae, trying to restore normal motion.

 

And of course, our decompression tables. They’re going to do this and pull the spine apart,  diminishing the pressure in the disc, taking pressure off the joints and the nerves. So all three things we use in our office are mechanical to try to address a mechanical problem. Remember, we’re here in Delray Beach and we’re here to help you and your family feel your best.
