Intersegmental Spinal Traction (IST) helps with...

  • Back pain
  • Spinal misalignment
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica
  • Limited mobility

Intersegmental Spinal Traction (IST) is a relaxing therapy designed to gently stretch and mobilize the spine. Using a specialized table, this treatment improves blood flow, relieves pressure on spinal discs, and helps restore proper spinal alignment. Think of it as a massage for your spine — easing tension and promoting flexibility.

A common question is: Is it uncomfortable? Not at all. The gentle rolling motion feels like a soothing back massage, and most patients find the session deeply relaxing. The goal is to create space between the vertebrae, helping your spine move more freely and comfortably.

IST is ideal for anyone with back pain, sciatica, or spinal misalignment. It’s a simple yet effective way to improve mobility and support long-term spinal health.
