Intersegmental Distraction in Fullerton, CA
For Fullerton residents near the Fullerton Arboretum district, intersegmental distraction at Aligned Health means hands-on care, not a rushed appointment. Our office is about 40 minutes from Fullerton via CA-57 / CA-91 interchange. Most PPO plans are accepted.
We pair intersegmental distraction with whatever else the tissue actually needs — percussion, decompression, scraping, red light — so a Fullerton patient is not sent across town for a second stop. That only works because all 14 services live in the same Laguna Hills suite.
How it works
Inside a intersegmental distraction session.
Lie back and relax
You lie face-up on the padded table, no belts or restraints needed.
Rollers travel your spine
The rollers move slowly up and down the length of your spine, gently mobilizing each segment.
Boost tissue circulation
Mobilization drives fresh blood into the spinal muscles and discs.
Prep for the next step
Most patients use it as a warm-up before adjustments or as a cool-down after.

Questions from local patients
Fullerton FAQs.
Can I combine intersegmental distraction with other services in one visit?
Yes. Most Fullerton patients pair intersegmental distraction with one or two other modalities in the same appointment, so the about 40 minutes from Fullerton via CA-57 / CA-91 interchange trip covers more ground.
Will my PPO cover intersegmental distraction if I live in Fullerton?
Often yes, when it is medically necessary. We verify Aetna, Anthem, Blue Shield of CA, United, Cigna, and Meritain before the first visit. Call (949) 557-7208 from Fullerton and we will tell you the copay before you get in the car.
What should I wear to intersegmental distraction if I am driving from Fullerton?
Clothes you can move in. Skip the suit jacket. First visits run about 45 minutes; follow-ups are shorter. If you are coming from the Fullerton Arboretum district, give yourself a few extra minutes on CA-57 / CA-91 interchange at rush hour.
Is Intersegmental Distraction the right next step if I live in Fullerton?
Intersegmental distraction uses a table with slow-moving rollers built underneath its padded surface. We will tell you on visit one whether it is the right tool, or whether you need something else in the same office — or a referral.
Is this an adjustment?
No. It’s mobilization, not manipulation. Different mechanism, gentler force. We often use both in the same visit.
Is it safe for older patients?
Yes. It’s one of our first-choice options when a patient prefers low-force care.
