Spinal Stenosis

 

Resulting from the narrowing of the spinal canal, spinal stenosis can be treated with manipulation, exercise and a self-care plan. Spinal stenosis can cause limping, back pain, strange pains or sensations in the legs and other unusual symptoms.

Spinal stenosis can be a serious condition, but the problem can get considerable relief from spinal cord compression. Flexion-distracted manipulation with increases of traction forces at intervals can have a positive impact on the symptoms of spinal stenosis. The thrust increase must be gradual, following a progressive approach throughout the application of the treatment. 

The patient is usually sent home with some exercises to do on his or her own. The good news is that the long-term results are very highly successful. Chiropractic care can reduce the effects of spinal stenosis and you can regain movement and relieve all the pain and discomfort resulting from the problem. 

If you are experiencing symptoms that mimic spinal stenosis, you should schedule an appointment to be evaluated. The examination will enable the doctor to come up with a definite diagnosis and then set up a treatment plan targeted toward your personal needs.
