Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you probably
know spinal stenosis. You have felt its painful
effects yourself or someone close to you does. Spinal
stenosis results in back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It’s no fun!
No magic pill heals it or prevents it. But chiropractic
care using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may relieve it, slowly
and bit by bit. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, Largo
chiropractic patients are well educated as to do what
they can to reduce the odds of future incidents,
armed with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
ideas, and the knowledge that Largo
chiropractic care at Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 revealed
that flexion distraction spinal manipulation was more valuable
for pain decrease and disability recovery. (2)
Another study presented that Cox® flexion distraction manipulation
resulted in pain improvement by 76% and disability by 73%.
(3) Today, one of the newest published reports
points out that there is indication that
chiropractic care is potentially useful for
patients experiencing pain of lumbar
spinal stenosis. It additionally highlights
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at
Hollstrom & Associates Inc! Largo spinal stenosis patients get
reprieve with our Largo chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its Largo 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)
Hollstrom & Associates Inc offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our Largo spinal stenosis patients. Hollstrom & Associates Inc treats the
whole patient, not just the pain.
