NEW HOPE FOR COMPLEX SPINE CASES: GENTLE CHIROPRACTIC CARE SHOWS PROMISE FOR TANDEM SPINAL STENOSIS

Here's an encouraging development in Fort Wayne spine care: tandem spinal stenosis—where narrowing occurs at multiple spinal levels—has usually been a delicate spinal issue to treat. Back in 2017, Overley and his team wrote an important systematic review that really emphasized just how complex this condition can be, with patients often having overlapping symptoms that make diagnosis and treatment planning especially challenging. (1) Fast forward to 2025, and we now have some encouraging news! McKee, Cox, and Olding just published a case report describing how Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction—a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic approach—successfully helped a patient with tandem spinal stenosis. (2) This is particularly exciting because it shows that non-invasive approaches such as gentle chiropractic care may provide meaningful relief for certain patients with this complex condition, possibly helping them sidestep more intensive treatments. It's a terrific reminder that personalized, safe approaches to spine care deserve a place at the treatment table! (Pun intended!)

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Cameron McConville on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about the effectiveness of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for Fort Wayne spinal stenosis.

[[Targetlocation]] CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Calm Your Mind, Heal Your Back

If you're managing chronic back pain, introducing soothing movement practices could complement your path to recovery. Growing research confirms what many patients already know—practices like meditation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong can be effective tools for managing back pain. A 2025 clinical guideline summary by Silva and colleagues underscores the valuable contribution of these integrative and complementary approaches to chronic pain care, while Yang and team's recent investigation into tai chi and qigong for back pain showed promising outcomes, with participants experiencing notable reductions in pain and enhanced overall well-being. (3,4) Through the synergy of mindful movement, breathwork, and relaxation, these practices address muscle tension, support flexibility, and help regulate the nervous system. The beauty is that they're low-impact and easily tailored to your individual fitness level. This month, why not experiment with one of these peaceful approaches? Even just 10-15 minutes a day of gentle, mindful movement might help you find relief while bringing more peace and balance to your daily routine.
