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

Lumbar spinal stenosis may be the result of a variety of issues like a disc herniation, disc bulge or contained disc, synovial cyst. Anything that shrinks the spinal canal area resulting in less space for the spinal nerves and other elements may bring about spinal stenosis and pain. Surgeons and medical device companies seek surgical means to reduce spinal stenosis and open the spinal canal area. Conservative care back pain specialists like chiropractors and your Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic Center seek non-surgical means - like Minster spinal manipulation and mobilization which are shown to positively affect the water flow and diffusion into the disc, keeping it healthy (1) - to do the same thing: reduce spinal stenosis and widen the spinal canal area.
A comparison of surgical and conservative treatments of spinal stenosis shows that conservative care is better. At 6 months post-care – surgical or non-surgical – no significant differences are presented in the spinal stenosis patients. At 12 and 24 months post-care, the surgical spinal stenosis patients had higher disability scores. Surgical spinal stenosis patients experienced higher complication rates than the conservative care spinal stenosis patients.
