No. 168 [Case Report “Spinal Stenosis”]

Today’s case report is about “Spinal Stenosis”

The patient is a 78 year old women. She complained she felt numb on her right leg, specifically blow the knee for the last 5 years. She feels severe pain constantly and has visited various clinics such as a Hospital, Acupuncture, PT, Massage, and Chiropractic where she was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis. She visited Connect Chiropractic because her friend recommended getting an adjustment from Dr. Kosuke.

The patient was given an assessment and was found to have a subluxation at L5 and right SI joint. When she got an adjustment with Thompson technique, her pain dramatically decreased. After she also got an adjustment with Flexion Distraction Table. She did not feel pain after it and was told to recheck within a week.

Spinal Stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. Spinal Stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and the neck. Some people with spinal stenosis may not have symptoms. Others may experience pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness. Symptoms can worsen over time.

Spinal stenosis is most commonly caused by wear-and-tear changes in the spine related to osteoarthritis. In severe cases of spinal stenosis, doctors may recommend surgery to create additional space for the spinal cord or nerves.

If you need a place for chiropractic adjustment, please call 03-6904-5022, English is available. I look forward to seeing you.
