Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you probably are familiar with spinal stenosis. You experienced its hurting results yourself or someone near you does. Spinal stenosis gives rise to back pain, neck pain, arm pain and/or leg pain (sciatica). It’s no fun! No magic pill heals it or stops it.

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 decrease 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 points out that there is evidence that chiropractic care is possibly useful for patients suffering with lumbar spinal stenosis. It further emphasizes that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa!

FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION

Neurogenic claudication frequently comes with lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for its West Des Moines 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 consequences (pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers a similar chiropractic care system with our West Des Moines spinal stenosis patients. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa treats the whole person, not only the pain.
