Flexion-Distraction Therapy is a type of manipulation that uses a special chiropractic table. The purpose of this therapy is to traction, or stretch, the spine. This can help relieve pressure on the spinal discs and other structures in the back. It may also help improve the range of motion and reduce inflammation.
This therapy is often used to treat low back pain and sciatica as well as many other spine-related conditions. In our office, we use Flexion-Distraction as one of several chiropractic techniques to help you find relief from pain and solve your underlying health problems.

Flexion-Distraction is a mild, safe, and controlled type of traction that’s been created especially for the treatment of back pain. A Flexion-Distraction table gently pulls the spine apart, stretching and elongating the muscles and ligaments around the discs. This helps to relieve pressure on the discs and promotes spinal healing.
Most people feel relief from their back pain after a few sessions on a Flexion-Distraction table. In fact, Flexion-Distraction is often one of the most successful treatments for chronic lower back pain.
How Flexion-Distraction Therapy Works
Flexion-distraction therapy is a manually operated technique that uses a special table to apply gentle, rhythmic pressure to the spine. The patient lies on the table face down, and the doctor attaches straps around the patient’s thighs and lower back. With the doctor’s manual adjustments, the traction table then gently stretches the spine, which helps decompress the discs and relieve pressure on the nerves. This pressure helps relieve pain by decompressing the discs between the vertebrae and increasing blood flow and nutrients to the spinal area.
The treatment is usually provided in a series of sessions, with each session lasting about 20 minutes. Most patients find the treatment to be relaxing and painless.
What Conditions Does Flexion-Distraction Therapy Treat?
Flexion-distraction therapy is most commonly used to treat several different conditions including:
What Are the Benefits of Flexion-Distraction Therapy?
There are many benefits of flexion-distraction therapy. In addition to providing relief from pain, this therapy can also help improve range of motion, increase flexibility, and reduce inflammation. Plus, it is a non-invasive treatment option. This means that there are no invasive surgeries which completely eliminates risks and side effects from the treatment. It’s also an all-natural treatment option, which means that there are no medications or prescriptions necessary.
Another benefit is that it can be an effective treatment for patients who have not responded well to other types of treatments such as physical therapy or epidural injections.
Research has found that patients who received Flexion-Distraction Therapy had significantly less pain than those who received no treatment or received another type of treatment such as acupuncture or massage.

I have been going to Dr. Goodpaster for about 7 months for wellness adjustments with the activator technique. I appreciate that he offers both traditional adjustments as well as the activator. I always feel better after my adjustment & I highly recommend him. His receptionist is also great. They always accommodate my request for an appointment, even on short notice. 10/10.
Since coming to Proactive Spine Care I have been having less pain in my legs and less headaches. I have been sleeping much better. He is so nice and really cares about your problems. I recommend him if you are having pain issues.
Back in November, I was having a lot of back pain. It was extremely hard to sit up to drive a car or to sit in the passenger seat. I went to proactive spinal care. Dr. Goodpaster suggested that I do 12 sessions of decompression. It took those 12 sessions to help my back. I am now able to drive freely and to sit in the passenger seat and walk around my home and other places out in public without pain, I greatly appreciate his expertise in the care for the spine. I highly recommend it going to his office.

Dr. Brandon Goodpastor is an excellent chiropractor, he has addressed every single issue that I am currently experiencing and he is helping me navigate my pain and suffering, I would highly recommend his services! The staff is also very helpful and kind 😊
A friend recommended proactive spine care and I am very impressed. I was down on my back and in so much pain when arriving. The staff is so accommodating and kind. We built a treatment plan and i wouldn't recommend anywhere else! If I could give 10 stars I would!
Best chiropractor l've ever been to!!! Extremely gentle adjustments and he has been able to adjust an area on my right side that no one else has ever been able to adjust! I'm a hard right side adjustment! More relief after one adjustment than I've ever had in all the adjustments l've had!!!
I went to see Dr. Goodpaster when a disk had slipped out and hit a nerve i have had terrible back pain for a few years I've been to several Dr's. with no relief after one visit it stopped the pain and after a few visits a no longer had the pain in my back that I had dealt with for years having to take pain meds and using a ice pack several times a day I was so amazed all my back pain was gone wish I had went to him sooner.I can't thank him enough for relieving the pain in my back i feel like a new person
I highly recommend Dr. Goodpastor. I have an issue for which I was receiving quarterly injections. Since beginning treatments at ProActive Spine Care over a year ago, I no longer have to have injections.
Dr. Brandon is wonderful. He listens and takes his thing with patients in order to develop a treatment plan based on what you need. 10/10 would recommend.
I came to Dr Brandon Goodpaster for problems with sciatica. He asked all the right questions before having the adjustments.<br>I felt better than I have in two months. I will be going back again this week. I highly recommend Dr Goodpaster to everyone who is having back problems. Well worth the visit. You will be impressed as much as me.
Absolutely Recommend!<br>The team at ProActive Spine Care has been incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout my treatment. I came in with pain and numbness in my right arm caused by a narrowing in my vertebra, and their treatment plan brought fast and effective relief. Brandon took the time to thoroughly explain the issue and the steps to address it, which made me feel confident and informed every step of the way. Lori was also a great help, and the decompression table has made a noticeable difference in my recovery. If you're looking for chiropractic care, do yourself a favor and visit ProActive Spine Care — you won’t regret it!
Recently came across this practice looking for dry needling to help the inflammation and nerve pain I've dealt with in my trap/neck for nearly 6 years now. Our first visit we reviewed my MRI my primary ordered a few months prior, and discussed treatment plans and different things we could try. Lori and Brandon are absolutely wonderful, and I'm so glad I found their practice!! Brandon is very kind and takes the time to answer and questions you may have in terms you'll understand. I felt a HUGE difference within the first 3 sessions. I'm now 7 sessions in and starting decompression therapy (which I'd never even heard of) to help correct some herniated discs. (I thought surgery was going to be my only option!! Hallelujah!) I love that they offer flexible hours and them being open until 6pm is awesome when you work a 9-5!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for chiropractic treatment or alternative treatment options for certain injuries!!
This is the best place to go in town! I had so much tightness in my back & lower back. No other chiropractor that I had gone to was able to pop it & give me any type of relief until I started coming here. My first visit he was able to do what no other chiropractor I visited was able to do. I am so thankful that they take the time to listen to my concerns & help me. Really amazing people. You will not be disappointed like I was so many times while visiting different chiropractors. Give them a call today so you can start feeling better like me. ❤️
After months of no answers from doctors and a misdiagnosis, ProActive spine found out the root cause of my pain! If I had waited the amount of time the doctor wanted me to wait, I would have been in so much more pain. I also visited with an ENT who confirmed the same exact thing ProActive did. You will not be disappointed if you visit this office! Everyone is so nice and the atmosphere is calming. He also does dry needling.
When I started seeing Dr Goodpastor I had an injury in my elbow that was not healing due to a pinched nerve in my neck I was already in Physical therapy and was getting worse with every visit. Each appointment with Dr. Goodpastor I improved by about 25%. We added Dry Needling to help with some muscle issues and that almost completely took my pain away completely( still a work in progress) I've only been going to Proactive Spine care for almost 2 months Dr. Goodpastor and Lori are great! They care about your progress and listen to your concerns, needs and celebrate your progress with you! I highly recommend them.
Highly recommend. Friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Brandon explained everything in terms I understood and made me feel very comfortable. Lori is helpful and cheery. A great experience, I felt better after my first visit!
I highly recommend Dr Goodpastor. He takes great care of my children and myself. Teaching the children the importance of spine care. For myself he cares for my shoulder and neck pain. My level of pain has greatly been reduced and the best range of motion I have had for years.
Dr. Goodpastor and his staff(Lori) are truly wonderful. I was in severe pain and they were able to get me seen on the same day. They were both very welcoming and Dr. Goodpastor is very knowledgeable and explains everything well. 100% recommended!
Absolutely love this place. So easy to deal with, completely stress free process of coming in, getting services (which are amazing btw, you will leave with your back feeling like the years have been erased) and scheduling for the next. Even if you only do 1 visit for an alignment, it's worth it. I tell everyone about it that even SLIGHTLY mentions their back because I just can't recommend it enough.
Dr. Brandon and staff are awesome. Got an appt really quickly, short wait time, I’m 69 with a lot of issues and Dr Brandon addressed them all, I finally found a Chiropractor that I know will help me, Best chiropractor I’ve ever been to,
I could barely walk in to my appointment but once Dr. Goodpaster finished with my adjustment, I felt like a new woman. He clearly explained to me what my xrays showed and what he was doing to correct it. The receptionist was kind and very helpful in making appointment. I highly recommend.
I really appreciate the last minute appointment. Ive been so sore for two weeks straight and driving to the appointment was still painful. However, the Doc is a rockstar and he took care of me! I drove home in no pain. I feel great even now, hours later and Im sure Im finally going to get a good nights rest. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes at the end of the day, you cant ask for more! Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you again.
Listen they are great and amazing people I would recommend them because they have become like my family they are very sweet and kind.... And you just need to go check them out. They are awesome me and my little baby and my fiancee goes there they are great people...
