OrthoIllinois Chiropractic has a system of care to help McHenry spinal stenosis patients even though there still is not an agreed upon approach to care for McHenry lumbar spinal stenosis for all [[sufferers of spinal stenosis|spinal stenosis sufferers]. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic bases its care on some well documented facts in the spine research. McHenry back surgery patients have more complications from treatment than non-surgical patients for lumbar spine stenosis. Back surgery showed no significant differences in the first 6 months after treatment compared with conservative treatment. Disability scores were greater for surgical patients at 12 and 24 months. (1) Another review of the effects of spinal manipulation and mobilization on the spine and its painful discs reported that there is a change in water flow in the disc to keep it healthy. (2) What’s a McHenry spinal stenosis patients to do? The treatment plan is not set or the same for every patient with spinal stenosis. There are many factors involved in this decision, but with non-surgical care, the complication rates and downtime from life are less. These factors influence OrthoIllinois Chiropractic’s choosing to use the Cox Technic system of spine care for treating McHenry spinal stenosis. Chiropractic Cox® Technic is gentle, safe, evidence-based spinal manipulation and mobilization treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis due to all sorts of contributing factors from disc herniation to synovial cyst. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic looks forward to discussing how McHenry chiropractic may relieve your back pain.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Vitamin D and Calcium Prevent Falls

As we age, falls are disconcerting as are the fractures that may ensue. Fall prevention strategies often are around exercise, balance/proprioception, and addressing depression and dizziness. Nutrition may help! Supplementation with vitamin D and calcium significantly reduces the risk of a fall. Taking D2 or D3 alone didn’t have such an effect. (3) Simple enough! Any little bit will help!
