What Is Tigard Roller Table Therapy?

Roller Table Therapy—also known as intersegmental traction—is a passive spinal therapy in Tigard that uses a specially designed motorized table to mobilize and gently stretch the spinal joints. As you relax on the padded surface, internal rollers glide up and down your back, creating rhythmic movement that helps hydrate spinal discs, improve joint mobility, and release deep muscle tension.

BeWell Chiropractic may use this therapy before or after chiropractic adjustments to prepare the body for treatment, gently mobilizes the spine, and encourages better alignment. It’s safe, comfortable, and highly effective for a wide range of patients.

How Roller Table Therapy Works

The intersegmental traction table works by gently lifting and stretching each segment of your spine in a controlled motion. This movement:

  • Increases flexibility between vertebrae
  • Promotes hydration and nutrition to spinal discs
  • Enhances circulation to muscles and ligaments
  • Relieves spinal pressure and stiffness
  • Prepares soft tissues for chiropractic adjustments

As the rollers move along your spine, they stimulate proprioceptors—nerve endings that influence balance, coordination, and posture—helping your body respond more effectively to subsequent treatments.

Sessions are relaxing and typically last 10 minutes. Many Tigard patients describe it as a therapeutic massage for the spine.
