August 07, 2018

Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you probably know spinal stenosis. You have felt its hurting results yourself or someone close to you does. Spinal stenosis results in back pain, neck pain, arm pain and/or leg pain (sciatica). It’s not much fun at all! No magic pill heals it or prevents it. But chiropractic care incorporating the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation system may relieve it, slowly and steadily. Once on the other side of spinal stenosis’ pain, Richmond chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what they can to reduce the chances of future incidents, prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration ideas, and the knowledge that Richmond chiropractic care at Johnson Chiropractic 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 improvement. (2) Another study showed 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 indication that chiropractic care is potentially beneficial for patients experiencing pain of lumbar spinal stenosis. It additionally emphasizes that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at Johnson Chiropractic! Richmond spinal stenosis patients find relief with our Richmond chiropractic services.

FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION

Neurogenic claudication frequently accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for its Richmond sufferers. Researchers found that treatments two times a week 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 along with structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management strategies resulted in improved outcomes (pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5) Johnson Chiropractic follows a similar chiropractic care system with our Richmond spinal stenosis patients. Johnson Chiropractic treats the whole person, not just the pain.
