Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you probably
know spinal stenosis. You have felt its hurting
results yourself or someone close to you does. Spinal
stenosis results in back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It is not much fun at all!
No magic pill heals it or prevents it. But chiropractic
care using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may ease it, gradually
and steadily. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Severna Park
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’ modification
ideas, and the knowledge that Severna Park
chiropractic care at Back And Neck Care Center 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, discussed stenosis. (1) Lately, a comparison study of flexion distraction treatment to
conservative treatment for patients with spinal stenosis showed
that flexion distraction spinal manipulation was more effective
for pain decrease and disability improvement. (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 possibly useful for
patients experiencing pain of lumbar
spinal stenosis. It further stresses
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at
Back And Neck Care Center! Severna Park spinal stenosis patients obtain
relief with our Severna Park chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Severna Park sufferers. Researchers discovered that twice
a week treatment consisting
of 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 consequences
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Back And Neck Care Center offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our Severna Park spinal stenosis patients. Back And Neck Care Center treats the
whole patient, not only the pain.
