Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you likely
are familiar with spinal stenosis. You have felt its painful
results yourself or someone near 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 cures it or prevents it. But chiropractic
care using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may ease it, slowly
and steadily. Once on the other side of spinal stenosis’
pain, Lynchburg
chiropractic patients are well educated as to do what
they can to reduce the chances of future incidents,
armed with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
tips, and the experience that Lynchburg
chiropractic care at Palmer Chiropractic Center can help.
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 recovery. (2)
Another study presented that Cox® flexion distraction manipulation
brought about 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
Palmer Chiropractic Center! Lynchburg spinal stenosis patients find
reprieve with our Lynchburg chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Lynchburg sufferers. Researchers found that treatments two times a week involving 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)
Palmer Chiropractic Center follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Lynchburg spinal stenosis patients. Palmer Chiropractic Center treats the
whole patient, not only the pain.
