Flexion/Distraction Therapy in Broomfield, CO
At Elevated Chiropractic, we offer Flexion/Distraction Therapy, a gentle and non-invasive chiropractic technique designed to improve spinal function, reduce pain, and promote natural healing. This specialized therapy is especially effective for patients experiencing spinal disc problems, chronic back pain, sciatica, or neck pain. For many of our Broomfield patients, it provides a safe and effective alternative to spinal surgery or injections.
What Is Flexion/Distraction Therapy?
Flexion/Distraction is a specialized chiropractic procedure that uses a segmented treatment table to gently stretch and mobilize the spine. Dr. Joshua Fearn applies controlled, rhythmic movements that help decompress spinal discs, restore joint function, and relieve nerve pressure.
The therapy works by creating negative pressure within the spinal discs, which helps draw herniated or bulging disc material away from sensitive nerves. This decompression effect promotes nutrient exchange within the disc, supporting the body’s natural healing processes. Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing, with many noticing a sense of relief during or immediately after their session.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
During your first visit, Dr. Fearn will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, which includes a review of your medical history, a postural assessment, and a spinal examination. This helps us understand the specific factors contributing to your pain and determine if Flexion/Distraction Therapy is right for you.
During the treatment itself, you will lie comfortably on a specialized table designed to stretch and flex your spine gently. Dr. Fearn will apply controlled, rhythmic movements to the affected areas while the table moves in a pumping motion. Most patients find the experience comfortable and relaxing. Treatment sessions typically last 10 to 20 minutes, and many patients begin to notice improvement after just a few visits.
The number of sessions you need will depend on your specific condition and how your body responds to treatment. Dr. Fearn will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals.
