Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you likely
are familiar with spinal stenosis. You have felt its hurting
effects 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 no fun!
No magic pill cures it or stops it. But chiropractic
care using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may ease it, gradually
and bit by bit. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Fort Wayne
chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what
they can to decrease the odds of future episodes,
armed with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ modification
tips, and the experience that Fort Wayne
chiropractic care at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is effective.
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, was
about stenosis. (1) More recently, 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 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
indicates that there is evidence that
chiropractic care is potentially beneficial for
patients experiencing pain of lumbar
spinal stenosis. It additionally stresses
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc! Fort Wayne spinal stenosis patients get
relief with our Fort Wayne chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Fort Wayne sufferers. Researchers found that twice
a week treatment 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 consequences
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Fort Wayne spinal stenosis patients. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc treats the
whole person, not just the pain.
