Spinal stenosis. If that isn’t a familiar term to you, it
likely is to a loved one. It’s the most frequent reason for spinal surgery in
older adults
(1) (and cause of angst among some younger folks, too!). Spinal stenosis results from all kinds of variety of
issues, but the bottomline is that the spinal canal space is narrowed which
leaves little room for the spinal nerves and back pain results. New Roads Chiropractic Center
offers a gentle, effective,
non-surgical approach to relief for
New Roads back pain patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
The New Roads non-surgical approach
New Roads Chiropractic Center offers is called Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal
manipulation. It’s a highly researched and effective approach to back pain and
neck pain relief. A most recent article states that patients who have lumbar
spinal stenosis report more significant pain reduction and disability when
treated with flexion distraction compared with conservative physical therapy. It
goes on to say that “flexion distraction appears to be an effective
intervention for pain and disability among patients with lumbar spinal
stenosis”. (2) New Roads Chiropractic Center recalls an earlier study reporting similar
outcomes for lumbar spinal stenosis patients: Long-term follow up results with
flexion distraction showed 75.6% patient-reported improvement in pain and 73.2% improvement in
disability. (3) Further, these flexion distraction outcomes are impressive when
compared with reported surgical versus non-surgical outcomes like those of the
Maine Lumbar Spine Study: 53% of surgical patients reported relief of low back
pain due to spinal stenosis while 50% of non-surgical patients reported the
same. (4) New Roads Chiropractic Center is poised to offer higher outcomes with its
New Roads chiropractic treatment plan involving flexion distraction.
Granted, some research studies point to surgery as being
effective for severe cases of spinal stenosis, but often the patients with mild
to moderate spinal stenosis don’t require surgery. They necessitate
and oftentimes want a non-surgical treatment to manage the symptoms and the
pain. (1) New Roads Chiropractic Center approaches back pain that way: there is often not a
cure for back pain, but there is control. There is hope. If you miss walking
around the block with a friend or your dog, let’s get you in good enough shape
to do that again. New Roads Chiropractic Center knows that our New Roads back pain
patients want relief enough to enjoy their lives as fully as possible.
Now we encourage all of our New Roads back pain
patients with lumbar spinal stenosis to come to scheduled visits for optimal
clinical relief. New Roads Chiropractic Center knows that most patients only make 75% of their
appointments. (5) Just imagine the boost
in outcomes if patients made closer to 100% of their New Roads
chiropractic visits to New Roads Chiropractic Center!
