Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you probably
know spinal stenosis. You experienced 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’s not much fun at all!
No magic pill heals 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, Sandy Springs
chiropractic patients are well educated as to do what
they can to reduce the odds of future incidents,
prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ modification
tips, and the experience that Sandy Springs
chiropractic care at Cross Chiropractic Center 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) Lately, a comparison study of flexion distraction treatment to
conservative treatment for patients with spinal stenosis revealed
that flexion distraction spinal manipulation was more effective
for pain reduction and disability recovery. (2)
Another study showed that Cox® flexion distraction manipulation
brought about pain improvement by 76% and disability by 73%.
(3) Today, one of the most recent published reports
indicates that there is indication that
chiropractic care is possibly useful for
patients suffering with lumbar
spinal stenosis. It additionally stresses
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at
Cross Chiropractic Center! Sandy Springs spinal stenosis patients obtain
reprieve with our Sandy Springs chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Sandy Springs sufferers. Researchers found that twice
a week treatment 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 outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Cross Chiropractic Center follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Sandy Springs spinal stenosis patients. Cross Chiropractic Center treats the
whole person, not only the pain.
