Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you probably
know spinal stenosis. You experienced its painful
effects yourself or someone near you does. Spinal
stenosis causes back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It is no fun!
No magic pill heals it or stops 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, Pflugerville
chiropractic patients are well educated as to do what
they can to decrease the odds of future episodes,
prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
tips, and the knowledge that Pflugerville
chiropractic care at Pflugerville Wellness Center can help.
COX® TECHNIC FOR SPINAL STENOSIS
One of the original 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 showed
that flexion distraction spinal manipulation was more effective
for pain reduction and disability recovery. (2)
Another study presented 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 potentially useful for
patients enduring pain due to lumbar
spinal stenosis. It further stresses
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at
Pflugerville Wellness Center! Pflugerville spinal stenosis patients obtain
relief with our Pflugerville chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its Pflugerville 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 lead to improved outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Pflugerville Wellness Center follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Pflugerville spinal stenosis patients. Pflugerville Wellness Center treats the
whole patient, not only the pain.
