Intersegmental Traction Therapy at Shoreline Spine

Gentle, Effective Relief for a Healthier Spine

At Shoreline Spine, we use Intersegmental Traction Therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to spinal health and healing. This gentle, non-invasive therapy uses a specialized traction table to stretch and mobilize the spine—helping to relieve pain, increase flexibility, and support overall spinal function.

Whether used as a standalone treatment or alongside chiropractic adjustments and other therapies, Intersegmental Traction can be a powerful tool in your wellness journey.

What Is Intersegmental Traction?

Intersegmental Traction is a form of passive therapy that gently mobilizes the spine using a traction table with rolling rollers. As you lie on the table, it moves in a rhythmic motion, applying mild pressure along your spinal column. This stretches the spinal joints and surrounding soft tissues without causing discomfort.

Most sessions last about 15–20 minutes and are described by patients as relaxing—some even say it feels like a light massage.

How It Works

The goal of Intersegmental Traction is to:

• Increase movement between vertebrae

• Reduce muscle spasms and tension

• Improve circulation to spinal tissues

• Enhance joint mobility and flexibility

• Support your spine’s natural alignment

The gentle rolling motion helps hydrate spinal discs, flush out toxins, and improve the flow of oxygen-rich blood—supporting the body’s natural healing process.

Why Chiropractic Wellness Care Matters

When your spine is in proper alignment, your nervous system works efficiently—sending signals to every part of your body. Even a small misalignment can interrupt those signals and cause stress, fatigue, pain, or illness over time.

Chiropractic wellness care helps correct those misalignments and removes the pressure on your nervous system—supporting natural healing, boosting your immune system, and helping you feel your best every day.
