Stenosis. If you are of a certain age, you likely
know spinal stenosis. You experienced its painful
results yourself or someone near 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 stops it. But chiropractic
care using the gentle Cox® Technic flexion distraction
spinal manipulation system may ease it, slowly
and steadily. After the spinal stenosis pain is better, La Grande
chiropractic patients are well educated as to do what
they can to decrease the chances of future episodes,
armed with exercises, diet tips, daily activities’ alteration
tips, and the knowledge that La Grande
chiropractic care at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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 revealed
that flexion distraction spinal manipulation was more valuable
for pain decrease and disability improvement. (2)
Another study showed that Cox® flexion distraction manipulation
resulted in pain improvement by 76% and disability by 73%.
(3) Today, one of the most recent published papers
indicates that there is indication that
chiropractic care is possibly beneficial for
patients experiencing pain of lumbar
spinal stenosis. It further highlights
that chiropractic treatments of spinal stenosis are most often
flexion-distraction manipulation. (4) That is true at
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC! La Grande spinal stenosis patients obtain
reprieve with our La Grande chiropractic services.
FLEXION DISTRACTION FOR STENOSIS-RELATED NEUROGENIC
CLAUDICATION
Neurogenic claudication frequently accompanies lumbar spinal stenosis, producing cramping leg pain for
its La Grande sufferers. Researchers discovered 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 lead to improved consequences
(pain, disability, walking ability, treatment satisfaction). (5)
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers a similar chiropractic care system with
our La Grande spinal stenosis patients. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC treats the
whole patient, not only the pain.
