Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you likely
know spinal stenosis. You experienced its painful
results yourself or someone close to you does. Spinal
stenosis gives rise to back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It is not much fun at all!
No magic pill heals it or stops 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, Burlington and Hamilton
chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what
they can to decrease the odds of future incidents,
armed with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
tips, and the experience that Burlington and Hamilton
chiropractic care at Spinal Care Clinic is effective.
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) More recently, 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 showed 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 suffering with lumbar
spinal stenosis. It further highlights
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at
Spinal Care Clinic! Burlington and Hamilton spinal stenosis patients get
relief with our Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its Burlington and Hamilton 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 along with structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies resulted in improved consequences
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Spinal Care Clinic follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Burlington and Hamilton spinal stenosis patients. Spinal Care Clinic treats the
whole person, not just the pain.
