Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you probably
know spinal stenosis. You have felt its painful
effects yourself or someone near you does. Spinal
stenosis gives rise to back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It is no fun!
No magic pill cures it or stops it. But chiropractic
care using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may ease it, gradually
and bit by bit. Once on the other side of spinal stenosis’
pain, Millville
chiropractic patients are well educated as to do what
they can to decrease the chances of future episodes,
armed with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
tips, and the experience that Millville
chiropractic care at Wilson Family Chiropractic can help.
COX® TECHNIC FOR SPINAL STENOSIS
One of the original written and peer-review
published papers by Dr. Cox, developer of Cox® Technic flexion distraction, discussed stenosis. (1) More recently, a comparison study of flexion distraction treatment to
conservative treatment for patients with spinal stenosis showed
that flexion distraction spinal manipulation was more valuable
for pain reduction and disability recovery. (2)
Another study showed that Cox® flexion distraction manipulation
resulted in pain improvement by 76% and disability by 73%.
(3) Today, one of the most recent published papers
indicates that there is indication that
chiropractic care is potentially beneficial for
patients enduring pain due to lumbar
spinal stenosis. It further stresses
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at
Wilson Family Chiropractic! Millville spinal stenosis patients find
reprieve with our Millville chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Millville sufferers. Researchers found that treatments two times a week including 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 along with structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies lead to improved consequences
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Wilson Family Chiropractic offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our Millville spinal stenosis patients. Wilson Family Chiropractic treats the
whole patient, not just the pain.
