Intersegmental Traction in Denton
Gentle Relief to Prepare Your Body for Healing
When muscle tension and anxiety make chiropractic treatment uncomfortable, intersegmental traction therapy (commonly referred to as the roller table) at Cryo & Chiro Wellness Center provides the perfect solution. This gentle, relaxing modality helps reduce muscle spasms and calm your nervous system before adjustments, making your treatment more comfortable and effective. Dr. Jerone Bailey uses this time-tested therapy to help patients achieve better results with less discomfort.
“I can’t think of a single instance where someone didn’t feel better after a session on it.”
-Dr. Jerone Bailey
How Roller Table Therapy Works
The intersegmental traction table uses gentle rolling motions along your spine to mobilize spinal joints and relax tense muscles. If Dr. Bailey notices you’re particularly tight and it looks like adjustments might require significant force, he’ll place you on the roller table for 10 to 15 minutes first. This preparation helps reduce anxiety and loosen muscles, making your chiropractic adjustment much easier and more comfortable.
The therapy works by creating gentle motion between spinal segments, improving circulation, and reducing muscle tension throughout your back and neck. Most patients find the rhythmic motion very relaxing and often comment on immediate improvements.
Immediate Relief You Can Feel
Patients consistently report feeling better after roller table sessions. Comments like “my low back isn’t as tight” or “my shoulders loosened up” are common immediately following treatment. This immediate feedback helps Dr. Bailey determine the best approach for your chiropractic care and ensures you’re as comfortable as possible during adjustments.
The therapy is particularly beneficial for patients who are nervous about chiropractic treatment or those dealing with significant muscle tension from stress, injury, or chronic pain conditions.
A Perfect Preparation for Care
While IST therapy can be used before or after chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Bailey most commonly uses it as preparation when muscles are exceptionally tight. There’s no strict protocol; the timing depends on your individual needs and how your body responds to treatment.
