What is the Y Strap Adjustment 

​

This stretching tool allows spine stretching by supporting the sub-occipital region of the spine to DECOMPRESS the cervical, dorsal, and lumbar parts of the spine

The MAIN GOAL is to stretch the spine, relax the muscles, increase the intervertebral foramina gap, and reduce the pressure on the nerves

​

The advantage of using the Y Strap for adjustments is that the adjustment is done on the Y-Axis, whereas full-body chiropractic adjustments can take place on the X, Y, or Z axes of the body 

​

By focusing on the Y-Axis, it removes the rotation element of the adjustment, and thus for some patients a straight traction decompression can be preferable 

​

UNSURE IF THIS IS FOR YOU?

​

Here are 4  questions you can ask yourself, and if the answer to any is yes... then it may be worth your while to come in for an assessment to see if Chiropractic care with a Y strap is appropriate 

​

1 Are you in chronic pain?- Adjustments could provide a solution to individuals who turn to painkillers regularly 

​

2 Sudden or Sharp Pain- Your spine is surrounded by receptors that send pain signals to the brain. If there is any inflammation, restrictions in motion or sharp pains, this could be helped with a chiropractic adjustment 

​

3 Improve athletic Performance- Chiropractic with Y Strap adjustments can lead to increased flexibility, strength, and with coordination 

​

4- Has the pain lasted more than 48 hours? If the pain has lasted more than 2 days, more than likely something is wrong and should be assessed by a professional. Listen to your body, if it doesn't seem normal, simply talk to our chiropractors to see what may be going on
