Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you likely
are familiar with spinal stenosis. You have felt its hurting
results yourself or someone close to you does. Spinal
stenosis causes back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It’s no fun!
No magic pill cures it or prevents it. But chiropractic
care incorporating the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may relieve it, gradually
and steadily. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Vancouver
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’ alteration
tips, and the experience that Vancouver
chiropractic care at Vancouver Disc Centers 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) 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 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 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’s true at
Vancouver Disc Centers! Vancouver spinal stenosis patients get
reprieve with our Vancouver chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its Vancouver 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 along with structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies resulted in improved consequences
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Vancouver Disc Centers follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Vancouver spinal stenosis patients. Vancouver Disc Centers treats the
whole patient, not just the pain.
