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 cures it or stops it. But chiropractic
care using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may ease it, slowly
and bit by bit. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Toronto
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 experience that Toronto
chiropractic care at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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) More recently, a comparison study of flexion distraction treatment to
conservative treatment for patients with spinal stenosis revealed
that flexion distraction spinal manipulation was more valuable
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 newest published reports
indicates that there is indication that
chiropractic care is potentially useful for
patients experiencing pain of lumbar
spinal stenosis. It additionally stresses
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre! Toronto spinal stenosis patients obtain
reprieve with our Toronto chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication often comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its Toronto 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 along with structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies lead to improved outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre follows a similar chiropractic care system with
our Toronto spinal stenosis patients. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre treats the
whole person, not just the pain.
