Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you probably
are familiar with spinal stenosis. You have felt its hurting
effects yourself or someone close to you does. Spinal
stenosis results in back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It’s not much fun at all!
No magic pill cures it or stops it. But chiropractic
care incorporating the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may ease it, slowly
and bit by bit. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Williamson
chiropractic patients are well educated as to do what
they can to reduce the odds of future episodes,
prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
tips, and the experience that Williamson
chiropractic care at Apple Country Chiropractic is effective.
COX® TECHNIC FOR SPINAL STENOSIS
One of the first ever written and peer-review
published papers by Dr. Cox, developer of Cox® Technic flexion distraction, was
about stenosis. (1) More recently, a comparison study of flexion distraction treatment to
conservative treatment for patients with spinal stenosis revealed
that flexion distraction spinal manipulation was more effective
for pain reduction and disability recovery. (2)
Another study presented that Cox® flexion distraction manipulation
resulted in pain improvement by 76% and disability by 73%.
(3) Today, one of the newest published reports
points out that there is indication that
chiropractic care is possibly useful for
patients enduring pain due to lumbar
spinal stenosis. It additionally highlights
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at
Apple Country Chiropractic! Williamson spinal stenosis patients obtain
relief with our Williamson chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Williamson sufferers. Researchers discovered that twice
a week treatment involving manual therapy like lumbar spine flexion distraction (generic term for
Cox® Technic spinal manipulation), soft tissue and neural mobilization,
chiropractic spinal manipulation, and muscle stretching as well
as structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies lead to improved outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Apple Country Chiropractic offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our Williamson spinal stenosis patients. Apple Country Chiropractic treats the
whole patient, not just the pain.
