Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you probably
know spinal stenosis. You experienced its hurting
effects yourself or someone near you does. Spinal
stenosis results in back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It is no fun!
No magic pill heals it or prevents it. But chiropractic
care using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may relieve it, slowly
and steadily. Once on the other side of spinal stenosis’
pain, Plainville
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
tips, and the knowledge that Plainville
chiropractic care at Layden Chiropractic 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 improvement. (2)
Another study showed that Cox® flexion distraction manipulation
resulted in pain improvement by 76% and disability by 73%.
(3) Today, one of the newest published reports
indicates that there is evidence that
chiropractic care is potentially beneficial for
patients suffering with lumbar
spinal stenosis. It further stresses
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at
Layden Chiropractic! Plainville spinal stenosis patients find
reprieve with our Plainville chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication often comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its Plainville sufferers. Researchers discovered that treatments two times a week 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 as well
as structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies lead to improved consequences
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Layden Chiropractic offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our Plainville spinal stenosis patients. Layden Chiropractic treats the
whole patient, not just the pain.
