Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you probably
know spinal stenosis. You experienced its painful
results yourself or someone near you does. Spinal
stenosis results in 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 incorporating 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, West Des Moines
chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what
they can to reduce the chances of future episodes,
prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
tips, and the experience that West Des Moines
chiropractic care at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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, 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 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 additionally highlights
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa! West Des Moines spinal stenosis patients get
relief with our West Des Moines chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication often accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its West Des Moines sufferers. Researchers found that twice
a week treatment involving 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)
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.
