Millville Chiropractic Flexion Distraction Relieves Spinal Stenosis

The Millville non-surgical approach Wilson Family Chiropractic offers is called Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation. It’s a highly researched and effective approach to back pain and neck pain relief. A most recent article states that patients who have lumbar spinal stenosis report more significant pain reduction and disability when treated with flexion distraction compared with conservative physical therapy. It goes on to say that “flexion distraction appears to be an effective intervention for pain and disability among patients with lumbar spinal stenosis”. (2) Wilson Family Chiropractic recalls an earlier study reporting similar outcomes for lumbar spinal stenosis patients: Long-term follow up results with flexion distraction showed 75.6% patient-reported  improvement in pain and 73.2% improvement in disability. (3) Further, these flexion distraction outcomes are impressive when compared with reported surgical versus non-surgical outcomes like those of the Maine Lumbar Spine Study: 53% of surgical patients reported relief of low back pain due to spinal stenosis while 50% of non-surgical patients reported the same. (4) Wilson Family Chiropractic is poised to offer higher outcomes with its Millville chiropractic treatment plan involving flexion distraction.

Granted, some research studies point to surgery as being effective for severe cases of spinal stenosis, but often the patients with mild to moderate spinal stenosis don’t require surgery. They necessitate and oftentimes want a non-surgical treatment to manage the symptoms and the pain. (1) Wilson Family Chiropractic approaches back pain that way: there is often not a cure for back pain, but there is control. There is hope.
