What are Intersegmental Traction Tables?

There is more to chiropractic care than using hands to adjust the musculoskeletal system structurally. A wide range of equipment is used in providing chiropractic care, including intersegmental traction tables. An intersegmental traction table, also known as a roller table, helps a chiropractor manipulate the spine to help restore proper range of motion in a patient's body.

The table helps simultaneously stretch muscles and ligaments while initiating motion in the spinal column, which are hard to both achieve by a chiropractor using hands. Intersectional traction tables can help chiropractors accomplish much in a patient, including improving the structure of the spine, posture and proper alignment of the spine and muscular complexion.

What do they do?

The spine's movement makes it possible for the cerebrospinal fluid to travel between its vertebrae, supplying them with crucial nutrients. Intersegmental traction tables help provide proper alignment to the spine, which ensures smooth movement of the cerebrospinal fluid throughout the body. Lack of proper flow of cerebrospinal fluid can lead to deprivation of nutrients to the discs, which is detrimental to vertebrae health.

A chiropractor can perfectly adjust a patient's motion with the help of the table's rollers situated below its surface. The table is also useful in helping a chiropractor make gradual adjustments in relation to a patient's alignment, which minimizes the risk of intense adjustment on a patient, which can result in injury. Finally, the table can accommodate patients of all sizes and shapes, which helps enhance comfort during treatment.
