Connected Chiropractic Uses the "Most Commonly Used" Cox® Technic to Relieve Elgin Spinal Stenosis Related Back Pain
Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you probably are familiar with spinal stenosis. You experienced 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 cures it or stops it. But chiropractic care incorporating the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation system may relieve it, gradually and steadily. Once on the other side of spinal stenosis’ pain, Elgin chiropractic patients are well educated as to do what they can to reduce the chances of future incidents, prepared with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration tips, and the knowledge that Elgin chiropractic care at Connected Chiropractic can help.
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, 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 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 enduring pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis. It further emphasizes that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That’s true at Connected Chiropractic! Elgin spinal stenosis patients find relief with our Elgin chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication often comes with lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for its Elgin sufferers. Researchers found that twice a week treatment 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 as well as structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management strategies lead to improved consequences (pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5) Connected Chiropractic offers a similar chiropractic care system with our Elgin spinal stenosis patients. Connected Chiropractic treats the whole patient, not just the pain.
