The occurrence of spinal stenosis and spinal disc degeneration in patients over 50 years old is a growing problem that leads to peripheral neuropathy, gait and balance difficulty and disability. Spinal stenosis is often treated surgically with only marginal long term results. The application of specific Chiropractic adjusting using Cox Flexion-Distraction by a qualified Chiropractor is the method of choice to handling these difficult cases. This includes post surgical pain patients as most spinal surgery results in more than a 60% failure rate in these cases for long term relief. Dr. Propper is trained by Dr. Cox and has been helping patients with spinal stenosis, Spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, discogenic spondylosis (arthritis of the spine) and post surgical pain syndromes successfully for many years.

You may wonder why the "number of days" statistics are split at 90 days. If you re-call the "pain" discussion, at 90 days pain becomes "chronic." Chronic pain is very disturbing to your life so being able to stop pain before it reaches this stage is preferable.
