Intersegmental Traction Therapy in Rhode Island
Intersegmental Traction Therapy is a specialized chiropractic treatment that uses gentle, rhythmic motion to stretch the spine, improve mobility, and reduce muscle tension. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we offer this therapy to promote spinal health, alleviate stiffness, and relieve pressure on spinal discs. Intersegmental Traction is ideal for patients looking to enhance flexibility and support their spine’s natural alignment, helping prevent pain and improve overall comfort.
Conditions Treated with Intersegmental Traction
Intersegmental Traction Therapy is effective for a variety of spinal and musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Spinal Stiffness: Provides gentle stretching to alleviate stiffness in the spine and increase mobility.
- Poor Posture: Helps improve alignment and correct posture-related issues by enhancing flexibility.
- Muscle Tension: Relieves tightness and stress in the back and neck muscles, promoting relaxation.
- Disc-Related Issues: Reduces pressure on the spinal discs, helping relieve discomfort associated with conditions like degenerative disc disease.
- Back Pain: Provides effective relief for chronic or acute back pain by improving spinal alignment and function.
How Intersegmental Traction Therapy Works
Intersegmental Traction Therapy involves lying on a specialized traction table with gentle, rolling motion applied to the spine. The table’s rollers move along the spine, causing the vertebrae to stretch and separate slightly. This motion encourages increased blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and improves spinal mobility. The rhythmic stretching also promotes the rehydration of spinal discs, helping to reduce pressure on the nerves and relieve pain.
Benefits of Intersegmental Traction Therapy
Intersegmental Traction Therapy offers multiple benefits for patients seeking a comfortable, non-invasive way to support spinal health:
- Enhanced Mobility: Increases flexibility and range of motion in the spine, making daily activities more comfortable.
- Improved Circulation: Encourages blood flow to the spine and surrounding muscles, supporting tissue health and healing.
- Pain Relief: Alleviates back pain and discomfort by reducing muscle tension and decompressing the spine.
- Relaxation and Stress Relief: Provides a gentle, calming experience that promotes relaxation and reduces stress.
What to Expect During Intersegmental Traction Therapy
During an Intersegmental Traction Therapy session, you’ll lie comfortably on a traction table while the rollers move beneath you. The table is adjustable to target specific spine areas, ensuring a customized treatment experience. Most sessions last around 10-20 minutes, and patients often describe the therapy as relaxing and gentle, with a sensation similar to a light massage.

So my story:
I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.
They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.
Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!
Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.
(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
You’re not just another appointment on their schedule—they make you feel seen, heard, and cared for. After experiencing the level of care here, I can confidently say I will never go to another chiropractic office again. This team has set the bar incredibly high, and I’m so grateful to have found them.
