Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you probably
know spinal stenosis. You have felt its painful
effects yourself or someone near you does. Spinal
stenosis gives rise to back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It is not much fun at all!
No magic pill heals it or stops it. But chiropractic
care incorporating the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may ease it, gradually
and bit by bit. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Malverne
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 Malverne
chiropractic care at Malverne Health & Wellness 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) Lately, a comparison study of flexion distraction treatment to
conservative treatment for patients with spinal stenosis showed
that flexion distraction spinal manipulation was more valuable
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 most recent published papers
points out that there is indication that
chiropractic care is possibly beneficial for
patients suffering with lumbar
spinal stenosis. It additionally highlights
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at
Malverne Health & Wellness! Malverne spinal stenosis patients find
relief with our Malverne chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication often accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Malverne 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 as well
as structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies resulted in improved outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Malverne Health & Wellness follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Malverne spinal stenosis patients. Malverne Health & Wellness treats the
whole person, not just the pain.
