Chiropractic eases conditions like spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis is everywhere today. Why? An aging population.

Chiropractic care is a solution for many spinal stenosis pain patients. Satterwhite Chiropractic offers gentle, evidence-based chiropractic care in the form of Cox Technic to help control and relieve back pain due to spinal stenosis.
Lumbar spinal stenosis may be the result of any of a number of issues like a disc herniation, disc bulge or contained disc, synovial cyst. Anything that narrows the spinal canal area that results in reduced space for the spinal nerves and other elements may cause spinal stenosis and pain. Surgeons and medical device companies offer surgical means to reduce spinal stenosis and open the spinal canal space12. Conservative care back pain specialists like chiropractors and your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic pursue non-surgical means - like Oxford spinal manipulation and mobilization which are reported to positively affect the water flow and diffusion into the disc, keeping it healthy (1) - to do the same thing: diminish spinal stenosis and open the spinal canal area.
A comparison of surgical and conservative treatments of spinal stenosis demonstrates that conservative care is better. At 6 months post-care – surgical or non-surgical – no significant differences are reported in the spinal stenosis patients. At 12 and 24 months post-care, the surgical spinal stenosis patients report higher disability scores. Surgical spinal stenosis patients experienced higher complication rates than the conservative care spinal stenosis patients. Based on their reviews of the published data, the researchers still do not feel that there is decisive proof to endorse surgical or non-surgical care to lumbar spinal stenosis sufferers.
