Spinal Stenosis Relief with chiropractic Cox Technic
Spinal stenosis is a familiar term to many people, especially as we enter the middle to older years of life and suffer with low back pain and leg pain. Spinal stenosis is very likely a factor in the lives of you and your fellow St Peters community members. If such pain is made worse by standing or walking, the term spinal stenosis becomes even more familiar. Spinal stenosis is a common cause of the condition termed intermittent claudication, which is leg pain of a cramp-like nature that occurs with walking or exercise.

Let’s look at some common facts and findings of spinal stenosis that may be familiar to our local St Peters neighbors:
- Clinical signs of spinal stenosis (1) are
- relief of leg pain when sitting and
- relief of leg pain when bending forward.
- Lumbar spinal stenosis is the most frequent reason for spinal surgery in elderly people. Researchers recommend different conservative and surgical treatment modalities for patients with moderate or severe symptoms. Medical literature cites several different approaches with the ultimate goal to facilitate optimal, knowledge-based and individualized treatment recommendations for patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis. (2) While researchers continue their study of the various options for spinal stensois relief, Old Mill Chiropractic is following these reports and offers chiropractic's gentle, research-based

- Has anyone in St Peters ever said "Misery loves company." It may well be true in this instance. The degree of pain and misery accompanying spinal stenosis determines the outcome of surgically treated patients with spinal stenosis. Patients in the misery group showed greater symptom severity and greater disability than the patients in the non-misery group. (4) Don't be miserable! You'll recover better!
