Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka Uses the "Most Commonly Used" Cox® Technic to Relieve Sitka Spinal Stenosis Related Back Pain
Stenosis. If you are a bit older, you probably are familiar with spinal stenosis. You experienced its hurting effects yourself or someone near you does. Spinal stenosis gives rise to back pain, neck pain, arm pain and/or leg pain (sciatica). It is no fun! No magic pill heals it or stops it. But chiropractic care incorporating the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation system may ease it, slowly and steadily. Once on the other side of spinal stenosis’ pain, Sitka 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’ modification tips, and the knowledge that Sitka chiropractic care at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka 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) Lately, 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 decrease 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 indicates that there is evidence that chiropractic care is possibly useful for patients enduring pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis. It further highlights that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka! Sitka spinal stenosis patients obtain reprieve with our Sitka chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, causing cramping leg pain for its Sitka sufferers. Researchers found that twice a week treatment 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) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka follows a similar chiropractic care system with our Sitka spinal stenosis patients. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka treats the whole patient, not only the pain.
