Mostly encountered in adults over the age of 50, spinal stenosis is a painful condition that refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal. Often, the narrowing occurs because of the onset of arthritis that reduces the space in between vertebrae; as it narrows, it causes pain, numbing and other symptoms by pinching the spinal cord and the nearby spinal nerves. Other symptoms include:

  • Sciatica
  • Difficulty with bladder or bowel control 
  • Difficulty standing and walking 

Unfortunately, there is no cure for spinal stenosis; however, there are steps we can take to manage your pain naturally!

The Cox Technique has shown great efficacy in treating the symptoms associated with spinal stenosis 

Surgery should be a last resort when it comes to spinal stenosis. We have found great success treating people with more conservative methods: chiropractic, noninvasive therapy and exercise allows people to keep the pain down and live well. The Cox Technique is one of the best modalities we have for managing spinal stenosis. It works because: 

  • Opens the spinal canal area
  • Reduces intradiscal pressure

This method of flexion-distraction provides a soothing decompression to narrowing spines and allows for great improvements in spinal stenosis symptoms. 

Living well despite spinal stenosis

It is an unfortunate reality that our spines are not designed to live as long as we are (at least not anymore). However, if you are suffering the effects of spinal stenosis, there are ways to make your life easier! Consider giving our office a call to schedule an appointment and learn about how the Cox technique can help with your spinal stenosis starting today!

Sciatica, which describes pain, numbness and weakness in the leg, is caused by a number of different conditions, making it important to get a proper diagnosis as to what is causing your sciatica before proceding with a given treatment. Often, sciatica pain is sourced in the lower back, where a potential impingement of the sciatic nerve can send pain shooting through the buttocks and down the back of the legs along the course of the sciatic nerve. Common causes of sciatica include: piriformis syndrome, in which the nearby piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve, herniated disc and subluxation in the lumbar vertebrae.

The Cox Technique offers natural pain relief for people suffering from sciatica

When it comes to dealing with the debilitating and annoying pain of sciatica, many people have found relief with the Cox Flexion Distraction technique. Using a specialized table, which can be moved and adjusted to account for your specific condition, we put you in a position of comfort that relieves pressure from the back and neck. Once we have established a relaxing position, we perform low-force adjustments with the goal of creating a vacuum effect in the affected region. In the case of a herniated disc impinging on the sciatic nerve, the bulging material will retract into its original place and stop causing sciatic nerve pain.
