An add-on, when it helps

Y-Strap traction.

Some necks want length, not pressure. The Y-Strap gives yours a smooth, straight pull along the long axis of your spine — with no twisting, and only when your evaluation points to it.

One more tool in Dr. Moore’s toolkit — not something she leads with, and not right for every neck.

The Y-Strap is a soft strap that cradles the base of your skull so Dr. Moore can apply a smooth, straight pull along your neck — traction along the long axis of your spine, with no twisting. Think of it as a hands-on cousin of the decompression table: it gently eases the space between vertebrae open, helps tight neck and upper-back muscles let go, and often brings a real sense of release.

It’s an add-on, not the main event. Dr. Moore reaches for it when it fits — a stiff, compressed-feeling neck, or as a finishing stretch alongside your adjustment — and leaves it out when it doesn’t. Because the motion is straight and controlled, with no rotation, many people find it more comfortable than a traditional twisting adjustment. Like everything here, it’s used by judgment — only when it’s the right call for your spine.

When your evaluation points to it being a good fit, she’ll use it and explain why; when it doesn’t, she’ll use something else instead — for the same reason.

1

Evaluation first

Y-Strap only enters the plan when your evaluation points to it — Dr. Moore will explain why it fits, or use something else instead.

2

The pull

The soft strap cradles the base of your skull; the pull is smooth, straight, and controlled, along the long axis of your spine — no twisting, no rotation.

Judged by your response

You’re the one who feels the difference. If it helps, it stays in your plan; if it doesn’t, it comes out — same as everything else here.

How we practice

We’re not trying to keep you here forever.

Dr. Moore’s goal is simple: find the problem, build a plan, get you feeling well and active — then clear you to go live your life. You’re the one who feels the difference, so we check in on how you’re responding and adjust the plan around what you tell us.
A plan with an endpoint
We treat what needs treating, get you better, then clear you. You’re here as long as you need to be — and not a day longer.
Wellness on your terms
Feeling great? Go enjoy it. Occasional check-ins — monthly, or every few months — are welcome if they help you stay feeling good. Never required.
Not improving? We dig deeper
We don’t repeat the same treatment without progress. If you’re not responding, we refer out — for imaging (X‑ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound) or to the right specialist — to find out why.

Y-Strap FAQ

Good questions.

Will you use the Y-Strap on me?
Only if your evaluation points to it being a good fit. Y-Strap is one more tool in Dr. Moore’s toolkit — not something she leads with, and not right for every neck.
Does it hurt?
The motion is straight and controlled, with no rotation — many people find it more comfortable than a traditional twisting adjustment, and it often brings a real sense of release.
Is it the same as the decompression table?
Think of it as a hands-on cousin: it gently eases the space between vertebrae open and helps tight neck and upper-back muscles let go. For disc-focused care over a series of visits, the decompression table is its own thing.
Why isn’t it the main event?
Because it’s an add-on by design — used by judgment, only when it’s the right call for your spine, usually alongside your adjustment rather than instead of it.
Curious if it fits?

Length, not pressure.
