Intersegmental Traction Table Therapy

Intersegmental Traction Table (IST) therapy is a gentle, automated approach to supporting spinal health, improving mobility, and encouraging total-body relaxation.

The Intersegmental Traction Table uses a series of moving rollers positioned beneath the spine to create smooth, rhythmic motion and mild traction between spinal segments. This controlled movement helps promote natural spinal motion, improve circulation, and relax surrounding muscles without the need for forceful manipulation. Many patients find IST therapy both effective and deeply relaxing.

How Intersegmental Traction Table Therapy Works

As you comfortably lie on the table, the rollers move up and down along the length of the spine. This motion gently stretches and mobilizes the spinal joints while stimulating muscles and soft tissues. The result is improved spinal movement, increased blood flow, and reduced tension, all delivered in a calm and controlled manner.

IST therapy is often used as a complement to chiropractic adjustments or as a standalone therapy for patients seeking a low-impact option for spinal support.

This therapy is effective for:

  • Back pain and stiffness
  • Neck tension and discomfort
  • Poor spinal mobility or flexibility
  • Muscle tightness and spasms
  • Disc-related issues
  • Stress-related tension
  • General spinal maintenance and wellness
