Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you probably
are familiar with spinal stenosis. You experienced its painful
results yourself or someone close to you does. Spinal
stenosis gives rise to back pain, neck pain, arm pain
and/or leg pain (sciatica). It is not much fun at all!
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, Montreal
chiropractic patients are more fully equipped to do what
they can to reduce the chances of future episodes,
armed with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ modification
ideas, and the experience that Montreal
chiropractic care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is effective.
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, was
about 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 effective
for pain reduction and disability recovery. (2)
Another study showed 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 evidence that
chiropractic care is possibly useful for
patients suffering with lumbar
spinal stenosis. It further highlights
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic! Montreal spinal stenosis patients find
reprieve with our Montreal chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently comes
with lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for
its Montreal sufferers. Researchers discovered that treatments two times a week 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 as well
as structured home-based exercises, and instruction of self-management
strategies lead to improved outcomes
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our Montreal spinal stenosis patients. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic treats the
whole patient, not only the pain.
