Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you likely
are familiar with spinal stenosis. You have felt its painful
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 heals it or stops it. But chiropractic
care incorporating the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may relieve it, slowly
and bit by bit. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Colorado Springs
chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what
they can to reduce the chances of future episodes,
prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ modification
tips, and the experience that Colorado Springs
chiropractic care at The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR 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, 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 valuable
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 reports
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
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR! Colorado Springs spinal stenosis patients obtain
reprieve with our Colorado Springs chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication often comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Colorado Springs sufferers. Researchers discovered that treatments two times a week including 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 outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Colorado Springs spinal stenosis patients. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR treats the
whole patient, not only the pain.
