NEW HOPE FOR COMPLEX SPINE CASES: GENTLE CHIROPRACTIC CARE SHOWS PROMISE FOR TANDEM SPINAL STENOSIS

Here's an encouraging development in Fort Wayne spine care: tandem spinal stenosis—where narrowing occurs at multiple spinal levels—has typically been a delicate condition to treat. Back in 2017, Overley and his team published an important systematic review that really highlighted just how complex this condition can be, with patients often feeling overlying symptoms that make diagnosis and treatment planning especially challenging. (1) And this year, we now have some encouraging news! McKee, Cox, and Olding recently published a case report describing how Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction—a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic approach—successfully managed a patient with tandem spinal stenosis. (2) This is especially exciting because it demonstrates that conservative care options like our gentle chiropractic treatment can offer real relief for some patients dealing with this complicated condition, potentially helping them avoid more aggressive interventions. It's a great reminder that personalized, safe approaches to spine care deserve a place at the treatment table! (Pun intended!)

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Cameron McConville on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about the effectiveness of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for Fort Wayne spinal stenosis.

If you're dealing with chronic back pain, consider adding some peaceful movement to your healing routine. Emerging evidence backs up what countless individuals have discovered on their own—meditation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong can serve as valuable allies in the fight against chronic back pain. Silva and colleagues' 2025 clinical guideline summary emphasizes how these integrative and complementary methods support chronic pain management, and Yang's team recently found encouraging evidence that tai chi and qigong can help—study participants reported significant improvements in both pain levels and quality of life.
