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

Here's an encouraging development in Murfreesboro spine care: tandem spinal stenosis—where narrowing occurs at multiple spots along the spine—has usually been a delicate spinal issue to treat. Back in 2017, Overley and his team published an important systematic review that really stressed just how complex this condition can be, with patients often feeling overlapping symptoms that make diagnosis and treatment planning particularly challenging. (1) And this year, we now have some promising 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 particularly exciting because it shows that non-invasive approaches such as gentle chiropractic care may provide meaningful relief for certain patients with this complex condition, possibly helping them sidestep more intensive treatments. 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 Murfreesboro spinal stenosis.

[[Targetlocation]] CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Calm Your Mind, Heal Your Back

If chronic back pain is part of your daily life, exploring calm, intentional movement could support your healing process. 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. A 2025 clinical guideline by Silva and colleagues points to the importance of these integrative and complementary strategies in chronic pain treatment, and Yang's research team found that tai chi and qigong produced favorable results—participants reported considerable improvements in pain intensity and general well-being. (3,4) Through the synergy of mindful movement, breathwork, and relaxation, these practices address muscle tension, support flexibility, and help regulate the nervous system. The beauty is that they're low-impact and easily tailored to your individual fitness level. This month, why not experiment with one of these peaceful approaches? Even just 10-15 minutes a day of gentle, mindful movement might help you find relief while bringing more peace and balance to your daily routine.
