A gentle, non-surgical chiropractic technique for spinal stenosis, disc problems and chronic back pain — without high-velocity manipulation.
Flexion distraction is a specialised chiropractic technique performed on a segmented treatment table that gently moves and decompresses the spine through a controlled range of motion.
Unlike traditional spinal manipulation, there is no thrusting force. The treatment is slow, rhythmic and precisely targeted to the affected spinal area.
This controlled movement helps reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves, making it a suitable option for some patients with spinal stenosis, disc problems and chronic compression-related back pain.
Flexion distraction therapy may support a range of spinal and back-related conditions.
Support for spinal canal narrowing that may contribute to leg pain, heaviness or weakness when walking.
A gentle approach that may help reduce pressure associated with disc-related symptoms, sciatica and numbness.
Helping patients experiencing long-term back pain, stiffness and compression-related discomfort.
Supporting spinal joint movement and reducing irritation around affected areas.
A gentle technique designed to reduce stress and support unstable spinal segments.
A low-force approach that may support patients managing ongoing symptoms after spinal surgery.
15–30 minutes, usually combined within a chiropractic session.
Gentle, rhythmic and pain-free. Most patients find the treatment relaxing.
Treatment plans vary depending on your condition. Many stenosis presentations may require a structured course of multiple sessions.
Flexion distraction may be combined with acupuncture, core rehabilitation exercises and postural advice to support a more comprehensive treatment approach.
Spinal stenosis can be challenging to manage, especially when traditional treatment approaches are not suitable or well tolerated.
Flexion distraction provides a gentle, conservative option that focuses on reducing spinal compression and improving movement.
Many patients looking for alternatives before considering more invasive options may benefit from exploring a structured approach with flexion distraction therapy.
At TOP Chiropractic Acupuncture, Dr Don works with patients from West Ryde, Ryde, Meadowbank, Carlingford and surrounding areas to assess whether this approach is suitable for their condition.

If it’s your first consultation, we’ll begin by asking a series of questions to gain a full picture of your body, your medical history and the particular symptoms that have prompted you to visit our clinic. Once we have all the information we need, we’ll begin our consultation. We begin with a series of examinations of your spine and skeletal system, to establish exactly what Chiropractic treatment is necessary.
Our clinicians will deliver a specific and targeted correction to the part of the body which, in their professional determination, needs it. Most patients say that the correction itself barely feels like anything, and there is much less of a ‘cracking’ sound that you may expect! Upon completion of your examination, our Chiropractors may give you exercises to complete at home in order to maintain optimum health.
Top Chiropractor Acupuncture practitioners are highly trained with years of experience, so you can always be confident they only deliver necessary treatment, and always operate within your comfort zone. By the time you leave our clinic, you can expect to feel relaxed, limber and enjoy an overall feeling of contentment.
If you have a chronic condition or complex care needs, you may qualify to receive a Chiropractic Medicare rebate for up to 5 sessions per calendar year. To be eligible, your GP must place you on an EPC – an Enhanced Primary Care Plan. If you have been suffering, or will suffer, from a condition for longer than 6 months, or you have several health issues simultaneously, you are likely eligible to be placed on an ECP.
