Intersegmental Traction

The Carrolton chiropractic office of Dr. Peter Lazarnick (Dr. Pete) is equipped to provide patients with a comprehensive range of treatments for lower back pain. Not only do we possess the expertise to provide safe, noninvasive treatments for musculoskeletal disorders, we also possess new technology. Intersegmental Traction is vital to relieving patients from a variety of ailments related to misalignments and their impact on soft tissues.


An Intersegmental Traction table is a device that gently vibrates rollers positioned beneath individual vertebrae. It is operated under doctor supervision and used to make gradual adjustments. If the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the spinal cord is blocked, vibrating pressure can ease its passage around misaligned joints and onward to the spinal discs. This allows the discs to be lubricated and supplied with vitamins, making them less likely to become herniated. The vibrations of the Intersegmental Traction table also relax muscles that have stiffened and become fatigued from compensating for misalignments. The fresh blood delivered through vibration caries nutrients, allowing muscles and ligaments to heal faster. This also causes old blood to flow out, reducing inflammation, breaking up scar tissue, and taking pressure off nearby nerves.


Dr. Peter Lazarnick is located at 486 Bankhead Hwy, Carrollton, Georgia, 30117. To schedule an appointment, call 770-832-2226 or visit www.askdrpete.com.
