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
Laguna Hills FAQs.
How far is Aligned Health from Laguna Hills for intersegmental distraction?
We are based in Laguna Hills, so if you are local you are already close.
Will my PPO cover intersegmental distraction if I live in Laguna Hills?
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 Laguna Hills 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 Laguna Hills?
Clothes you can move in. Skip the suit jacket. First visits run about 45 minutes; follow-ups are shorter. If you are coming from Nellie Gail Ranch, give yourself a few extra minutes on I-5 at Avery Pkwy / Lake Forest Dr at rush hour.
Is Intersegmental Distraction the right next step if I live in Laguna Hills?
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.
