Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you likely
know spinal stenosis. You have felt its painful
results yourself or someone close to you does. Spinal
stenosis results in 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 using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may ease it, slowly
and steadily. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, San Jose
chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what
they can to decrease the chances of future episodes,
prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
ideas, and the knowledge that San Jose
chiropractic care at Chiropractic Solutions 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) 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 presented that Cox® flexion distraction manipulation
resulted in pain improvement by 76% and disability by 73%.
(3) Today, one of the newest published papers
indicates that there is evidence that
chiropractic care is potentially useful for
patients experiencing pain of lumbar
spinal stenosis. It additionally emphasizes
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at
Chiropractic Solutions! San Jose spinal stenosis patients get
relief with our San Jose chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its San Jose sufferers. Researchers discovered 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 consequences
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Chiropractic Solutions offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our San Jose spinal stenosis patients. Chiropractic Solutions treats the
whole patient, not just the pain.
