Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you likely
know spinal stenosis. You experienced its hurting
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. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Minster
chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what
they can to reduce the odds of future episodes,
armed with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ modification
ideas, and the experience that Minster
chiropractic care at Minster Chiropractic Center 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, was
about 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 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 papers
points out that there is evidence that
chiropractic care is possibly beneficial for
patients experiencing pain of lumbar
spinal stenosis. It further highlights
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at
Minster Chiropractic Center! Minster spinal stenosis patients obtain
reprieve with our Minster chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication often accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its Minster sufferers. Researchers discovered that treatments two times a week 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 outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Minster Chiropractic Center follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Minster spinal stenosis patients. Minster Chiropractic Center treats the
whole patient, not just the pain.
