Y strap adjustments are used to decompress the spine and allow the intervertebral discs, the spaces between vertebrae, to elongate. This maneuver usually creates a small, low amplitude traction phenomenon that essentially allows nutrients to flow back into the discs via vacuum-like suction.
The compression of these spinal discs over time is a natural progression of age and can result in chronic neck and back pain. By allowing your Newport Beach Chiropractic, Dr. Gus to perform a Y strap adjustment, chronic pain can be relieved by reducing/relieving the compression of vertebrae.
