Physical characteristics of spinal canal stenosis and what can be done with our treatment
From specific treatment examples
*This is the same example introduced on the "Condition Check" page below, but we have used it here as well because it is suitable as an explanation.
A case of a patient who visited the hospital with spinal canal stenosis (cervical vertebra number 5 and lumbar vertebra number 3)Let me introduce it to you.
The main symptoms are pain and tightness in the back of the right thigh.,Difficulty raising the left arm.
To the doctorSurgery for spinal stenosis was recommended.But,I want to improve my physical condition without surgery.That's what I wanted.
In the figureThe red areas are the symptom areas and stiff areas..The green area is the first treatment area. will be important.
・This time,By relaxing the subclavian artery from the first left rib, the left arm becomes easier to raise.became.Improved blood circulation in the neck and left arm has restored functionIt seems that you did.
-By loosening the joint capsule of the right knee to the medial meniscus, and also the right sacroiliac joint to the right side of the sacrum, the tension in the back of the right thigh was relieved.It turned out that this happened.
of courseThe effects of spinal stenosis are strong enoughAlthough it is considered thatIn addition, tension in the lower right body is related to the symptoms.It seems like he was.
Understanding symptoms and goals
premiseThe first thing you need to understand is that
Spinal stenosis cannot be cured
Ligamentum yellow and intervertebral discsThe tissue itself becomes deformed and puts pressure on the nerves..
Physical transformations are essentially irreversible..
Therefore, surgery is often recommended at hospitals to resolve the underlying problem.

However, itPhysical organization statusBecause it is aboutWhen it comes to symptoms like pain, it's a different story..
There are organic and functional problems.
Tissue deformation and cell necrosisTurning a physically irreversible problem into an organic problemIt is said that it improves tension in the body and blood circulation.Changeable problems into functional problemsIs called.
このTo what extent can functional problems be improved?However, this is the key to improving symptoms without surgery.
This is a huge problem, because it involves the physical transformation of body tissue.
It is very difficult to improve the condition through manual therapy or exercise therapy.But that's why it's a chance to show off your skills.In our school, we place special emphasis on.
therefore,The goal of treatment is to maximize functional condition..
Physical characteristics of spinal canal stenosis and what can be done with our treatment
We will look at the bodies of people with spinal stenosis from the perspective of manual treatment.
The biggest characteristic is that the area of spinal canal stenosis and the vertebrae above and below it are much harder than in the general population.
This can be easily identified by palpating the spinous processes on the back.
Almost without exception, those with spinal stenosis who have symptomsHardness like lead or concretein XNUMX minutes by bus from Yonago Station.
This meansCompression of surrounding blood circulation due to tissue deformation, and by thatSlowing down of metabolism in surrounding tissuesThis is thought to be the main cause.
However, in addition to that,Above exampleAs stated inThe influence of other body parts that are contributing to the stiffness or tension in the spineThat also exists.
At our clinic, we first identify the affected area and then perform treatment.
In addition, ② It also helps to loosen the stiffness of the vertebral body, periosteum, and surrounding ligaments in the affected area..
In order to relax the stiffness of the bone itself, as well as the periosteum and surrounding ligaments, extremely difficult techniques are required, even in osteopathy..
Taking advantage of these two treatment techniques,
Although the tissue is deformed, the tissue is still soft.,
We will aim for this state.
(When the muscles become softer, circulation of blood, lymph, and other bodily fluids becomes smoother, making symptoms less likely to occur.)
ThisEven for those who have had difficulty in changing their symptoms, we have been able to achieve a certain degree of effectiveness.I feel.
The effectiveness of the treatment will of course vary from person to person (depending on the degree of spinal canal stenosis, immunity, etc.).
This is a treatment you should try if you are looking to improve your condition without surgery.
