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 not much fun at all!
No magic pill cures 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. Once on the other side of spinal stenosis’
pain, Pensacola
chiropractic patients are well educated as to do what
they can to reduce the chances of future incidents,
prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
tips, and the knowledge that Pensacola
chiropractic care at Pensacola Spinal Rehab 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, discussed 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 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
points out that there is indication that
chiropractic care is possibly 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’s true at
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center! Pensacola spinal stenosis patients find
relief with our Pensacola chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its Pensacola sufferers. Researchers discovered 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 along with structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies lead to improved consequences
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our Pensacola spinal stenosis patients. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center treats the
whole person, not only the pain.
