Intersegmental Distraction in Ladera Ranch, CA
Patients from Ladera Ranch, including those near Founders Park, make the trip about 10 minutes from Ladera Ranch via CA-241 toll road at Antonio Pkwy for intersegmental distraction. We would rather you know what we can and cannot fix on visit one than sell you a 20-visit package you do not need.
Intersegmental Distraction is not a miracle. It helps when the problem is mechanical. If you have a red flag (new bowel or bladder changes, fever with back pain, unexplained weight loss, or weakness that is getting worse), we will not adjust first and ask later. Ladera Ranch patients get the same screening as everyone else.
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.
