Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you likely
know spinal stenosis. You experienced its painful
effects yourself or someone near you does. Spinal
stenosis results in back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It is not much fun at all!
No magic pill heals it or prevents it. But chiropractic
care using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may relieve it, gradually
and bit by bit. Once on the other side of spinal stenosis’
pain, Baton Rouge
chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what
they can to reduce the odds of future episodes,
prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ modification
ideas, and the knowledge that Baton Rouge
chiropractic care at Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation 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, 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 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 reports
points out that there is evidence that
chiropractic care is possibly useful for
patients experiencing pain of lumbar
spinal stenosis. It additionally highlights
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at
Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation! Baton Rouge spinal stenosis patients find
relief with our Baton Rouge chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication often comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its Baton Rouge sufferers. Researchers discovered that treatments two times a week 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 as well
as structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies resulted in improved outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Baton Rouge spinal stenosis patients. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation treats the
whole patient, not only the pain.
