Intersegmental Traction


Intersegmental traction tables (also known as IST) greatly accelerates recovery progress from a back injury, helps facilitate muscle relaxation, and reduces muscle spasms. Overall, IST is a great way to calm and loosen the muscles before an adjustment.

What is Intersegmental Traction?

The intersegmental table works by laying on a dual roller moving up and down muscles on either side of your spine. The rolling contact is constant and works electronically. Roller intensity can be changed, tailored to each patients needs.
