    weakness and loss of range of motion. Myofascial release is a highly
    effective way to reduce muscle spasm and relax a hyperactive muscle.

    Intersegmental Traction
    Introducing a passive wave of motion into the spine of a patient
    is a great way to prepare for a spinal adjustment. Most patients
    find this relaxing and therapeutic as motion re-enters their spine.

         it may be home therapy or in office.Core spinal exercises and
strengthening are important for maintaining strength and flexibility
between adjustments.
