Intersegmental Traction Therapy (IST) in Fargo
Intersegmental traction therapy at Fargo Moorhead Chiropractic and Wellness is used to increase range of motion in the spine, allow the spine and muscles to relax, hydrate the disc, and deliver key nutrients to the area. It’s also an opportunity for people to take a moment and relax on the table after their adjustment.
Unless the person doesn’t like it, we recommend the therapy to people after they get adjusted, just to help gain mobility. Because so many people work at a desk, it helps get some extension into their thoracic spine, and offers people time to actually unwind from their day. They can relax and not have to think about anything else.

What to Expect
Misaligned or stuck joints in the spine may hinder movement. IST uses a highly specialized treatment table designed solely for this therapy. It helps by gently mobilizing the stuck or fixated spinal joints, affecting not only the vertebrae, but also the discs, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
Benefits of IST
Our patients have experienced benefits such as
- Reduced pain and stiffness in the back and/or neck
- Increased spinal nutritional health
- Improved joint function
- Accelerated recovery from injury
- Restored normal range of motion in the spine
- Reduced muscle spasms
- Increased blood flow to your discs, ligaments, and muscles
The IST table can be adjusted to accommodate a patient’s comfort and used with all body types, including children. A typical session is just eight minutes. IST improves the stability of the back, and most patients realize a measurable decrease in pain and stiffness after the first treatment.
