Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you likely
are familiar with spinal stenosis. You have felt its painful
effects yourself or someone near 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 prevents it. But chiropractic
care incorporating the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may relieve it, slowly
and steadily. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Manchester
chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what
they can to reduce the chances of future episodes,
armed with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
tips, and the experience that Manchester
chiropractic care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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, 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 decrease and disability improvement. (2)
Another study presented that Cox® flexion distraction manipulation
brought about pain improvement by 76% and disability by 73%.
(3) Today, one of the most recent published reports
points out that there is indication that
chiropractic care is potentially beneficial for
patients experiencing pain of lumbar
spinal stenosis. It further emphasizes
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries! Manchester spinal stenosis patients find
relief with our Manchester chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Manchester sufferers. Researchers found that twice
a week treatment 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 resulted in improved outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our Manchester spinal stenosis patients. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries treats the
whole person, not just the pain.
