Better Movement, Better Results: Our Traction Table

Dr. Powers, I just wanted to share with
you some of the technology that we use
in our office to get better faster and
to improve your spinal health. This
device here is called Pigmental
Traction. You’ll often hear us refer to
it as the rolly bed or the roller
massage table. This table has rollers
inside that will roll up and down your
spine. And they feel really nice. It
feels a little bit like a massage, but
the intent is to restore more normal
range of motion, a more synchronous
range of motion through the spine. Each
vertebrae should move freely relative to
the one above it and below it. And so
this device allows us to create sort of
a rhythmic wave pattern through the
spine, mobilizing those joints,
restoring circulation and normal, what
we call segmental range of motion to the
vertebrae because not every vertebrae
needs an adjustment, but they all need
to move well relative to one another.
And so this table typically will have
you lying on your back. When we start it
up, we ask these rollers to glide up and
down your spine. It’s a short therapy.
Um, and as you can see by the lights
here, as those lights move up to the
cervical or the neck area, back down
through the middle middle area and down
into the lumbar, the lower back area of
the spine, this will help to create a
nice relaxing uh synchronous motion in
the spine and it’s going to help you to
get better and do better with
chiropractic There.
