What is it??
Narrowing of the canal &/or foramen at any spinal region. Common causes:1) OA: Spurs (endplates)2) DDD/Disc derrangement3) DJD of facets4) Thickening lig. Flavum5) Calcification of the PLL6) Tumors (more rare)7) Trauma (fracture)
MOST OFTEN, a COMBO!
2 Types: Central & Lateral/Foraminal(often co-exist)
Foramen

What is it??
Symptoms• Many people have evidence of spinal stenosis on an MRI or CT scan but may not have symptoms. • When they do occur, they often start gradually and worsen over time. • Symptoms vary depending on the location of the stenosis and which nerves are affected.

SGY: With ALL this discussion, isn’t it interesting how many varying opinions about management there are? James Pemberton, Eva Novakova, and Ronald Donaldson support Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT) for BOTH diagnosis & treatment, pending the results. I might add, prognostic reasons as well as in my experience when I can’t find ANY position of relief/decreased pain, the prognosis is usually poor. Here’s a GREAT follow-up 2004 article by Long, Donaldson, & Fung:

SUMMARY•38 yo M•CMT (HVLA) at 6th visit = radic•Neurosurg rec surg•Pt went to a dif. DC (DM)•MRI: 3 levels HNP C3-5•C-SMT = LVLA/mm energy + Exerc•Successful outcome w/ DC#2
CONCLUSION: “This paper reports a case of a patient with radiculopathy secondary to multileveldisc herniations that appeared to be precipitated by cervical manipulation and who was treated nonsurgically with resolution of the problem. It is doubtful that the manipulation actually caused thedisc herniations, but it is possible that it caused preexisting asymptomatic disc herniations to becomesymptomatic. Consideration should be given to nonsurgical referral of patients who havepostmanipulative complications but do not need immediate surgery.”
SGY: So what did DM do differently?

• (p460-1): “With this method, a contact (RH) was made as close to the anterolateral aspect of the involved segment as possible, and the spine was moved into a direction of combined flexion, lateral flexion away from the side of contact, and rotation toward that RT side (Fig. 2).• The movement was continued until the author felt the onset of the ‘‘barrier of resistance’’ [21], i.e., the point at which resistance to further movement was first perceived. • The patient was then asked to move the eyes away (LT) from the side of contact (in an attempt to
activate the muscles that would resist movement in the direction of manipulation) and take a deep breath (in an attempt to further activate these muscles).
• The patient was then asked to move the eyes toward the side of contact (RT) (in an attempt to
relax the muscles that would resist movement in the direction of manipulation) and breathe out (in an
attempt to further relax these muscles). • On the out breath, the ‘‘barrier’’ was felt to release, allowing for further movement into rotation. NO THRUST!• This was typically repeated two more times. Further information regarding the method of Muscle Energy can be found in the volume by Chaitow and Liebenson [20].”

(p461): “Manual neural mobilization to target the involved nerve roots was performed [22]. • Place the patient in a position that allowed for applying tension to the peripheral nerves (with a median nerve bias [23]), the brachial plexus, and the nerve roots. • The position was the same as that of the BPTT [BPTT: Brachial Plexus Tension Test] which, on examination, had reproduced the patient’s arm pain. • From this position, gentle oscillatory movements were applied, repeatedly moving the hand in an extension [DF] and flexion [PF]direction, away from the barrier and back to the barrier, within the patient’s tolerance. • The mechanism by which this treatment may be beneficial is not known, but it is thought to promote ‘‘neural gliding’’, having a positive impact on freedom of movement, intraneural circulation, and axonal transport [24]. • The patient was given home exercises designed to mobilize the involved nerve roots.
➢ These involved repetitive movements of the head and the upper extremity in a direction that mimicked the BPTT.”

SUMMARY•Case Study•C5-6 HNP •Referred by an MD to DM•Prior to the 1st visit (d/t a 10-day delay in scheduling), Pt developed acute myelopathy 2ndary to the HNP. •Myelopathy (like CES), is a “red flag” & considered a contraindication for HVLA-CMT. •The progression was d/t the “natural history” of C-HNP. •But, HAD HVLA-CMT been performed, HVLA CMT most likely would have been blamed

Conclusion: “Herniated disk in the cervical spine can progress to myelopathy as part of the natural history of this condition. Because of this, any interpretation of myelopathy that occurs after cervical manipulation, or any other procedure, must be made with caution.”

General guideline – no hard data (…as of 2007):
Severe (0–9)
Moderate (10–12)
Mild (13–17)**Best candidates for non-surg care of symptomatic cervical spine myelopathy (Mild only) (Rhee)
➢ Those w/ moderate to severe CSM had better outcomes w/ surgery (Rhee)
➢ **No hard data to support avoiding specific ADLs or minor trauma as being risk factors for neurological deterioration in those with myelopathy OR asymptomatic cord compression (Rhee & Bednarik)
➢ No hard evidence to support prophylactic surgery to prevent C-sp. cord injury in patients with asymptomatic C-spinal stenosis (Takao)

Study Design.Cross-sectional study.Objective.The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of abnormal findings on cervical spine magnetic resonance image (MRI).Summary of Background Data.Neurological symptoms and abnormal findings on MR images are keys to diagnose the spinal diseases. To determine the significance of MRI abnormalities, we must take into account the (1) frequency and (2) spectrum of structural abnormalities, which may be asymptomatic. However, no large-scale study has documented abnormal findings of the cervical spine on MR image in asymptomatic subjects.Methods.MR images were analyzed for the anteroposterior spinal cord diameter, disc bulging diameter, and axial cross-sectional area of the spinal cord in 1211 healthy volunteers. The age of healthy volunteers prospectively enrolled in this study ranged from 20 to 70 years, with approximately 100 individuals per decade, per sex. These data were used to determine the spectrum and degree of disc bulging, spinal cord compression (SCC), and increased signal intensity changes in the spinal cord.

Results.
• Most subjects presented with disc bulging (87.6%), which significantly increased with age in terms
of frequency, severity, and number of levels. • Even most subjects in their 20s had bulging discs, with 73.3% and 78.0% of males and females, respectively. • In contrast, few asymptomatic subjects were diagnosed with SCC (5.3%) or increased signal intensity (2.3%). • These numbers increased with age, particularly after age 50 years. • SCC mainly involved 1 level (58%) or 2 levels (38%), and predominantly occurred at C5–C6 (41%) and C6–C7 (27%).Conclusion.• Disc bulging was frequently observed in asymptomatic subjects, even including those in their 20s. • The number of patients with minor disc bulging increased from age 20 to 50 years. • In contrast, the frequency of SCC and increased signal intensity increased after age 50 years, and this was accompanied by increased severity of disc bulging.

One of those ‘‘dynamic’’ devices is the CoflexTM device which has been already implanted worldwide more than 14,000 times. The aim of implanting this interspinous device is to unload the facet joints, restore foraminal height and provide stability in order to improve the clinical outcome of surgery.
The purpose of our prospective study is to evaluate the surgical outcome of decompressivesurgery in comparison to decompressive surgery and additional implantation of the CoflexTM interspinous Device.

60 patients with one or two level symptomatic LSS were treated with decompressivesurgery. Group one (UD) included 30 patients with decompression surgery alone and group two (CO) in 30 patients with decompression surgery AND a CoflexTM device implanted.
At 1-year follow up there were no statistical differences between the 2 groups in all studied parameters including patient satisfaction and subjective operation decision. Because there is no current evidence of the efficacy of the CoflexTM device we need further data from randomized controlled studies for defining the indications for theses procedures. To the best of our knowledge this is the first prospective controlled study which compares surgical decompression of lumbar spinal stenosis with additional implanting of an interspinous CoflexTM device in the treatment of symptomatic LSS.

Conclusion: Based on the present study, it showed that Coflex implantation and fusion after spinal decompression had the same clinical outcomes and satisfaction in treatment of symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis after 7 years follow-up. Nevertheless, Cofleximplantation had the advantages of less bleeding loss, less trauma and quick recovery. Compared with fusion surgery, Coflex implantation had also advantages in maintaining intervertebral height and delaying intervertebral disc degeneration of adjacent segments.

Opioid Use Least Likely with Chiropractic > PT > GPs for LBP
https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjopen/9/9/e028633.full.pdf
Abstract
Objective This study examined the association of initial provider treatment with early and long-term opioid use in a national sample of patients with new-onset low back pain (LBP).
Design A retrospective cohort study of patients with new onset LBP from 2008 to 2013. Setting The study evaluated outpatient and inpatient claims from patient visits, pharmacy claims and inpatient and outpatient procedures with initial providers seen for new-onset LBP.
Participants 216 504 individuals aged 18 years or older across the USA who were diagnosed
with new-onset LBP and were opioid-naïve were included. Participants had commercial or Medicare Advantage insurance.
Exposures The primary independent variable is type of initial healthcare provider including physicians and conservative therapists (physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists).

Opioid Use Least Likely with Chiropractic > PT > GPs for LBP
https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjopen/9/9/e028633.full.pdf
Abstract (continued)
Main outcome measures Short-term opioid use (within 30 days of the index visit) following new LBP visit and long-term opioid use (starting within 60 days of the index date and either 120 or more days’ supply of opioids over 12 months, or 90 days or more supply of opioids and 10 or more opioid prescriptions over 12 months).
Results Short-term use of opioids was 22%. Patients who received initial treatment from chiropractors or physical therapists had decreased odds of short-term and long-term opioid use compared with those who received initial treatment from primary care physicians (PCPs) (adjusted OR (AOR) (95% CI) 0.10 (0.09 to 0.10) and 0.15 (0.13 to 0.17), DC & PT respectively). Compared with PCP visits, initial chiropractic and physical therapy also were associated with decreased odds of long-term opioid use in a propensity score matched sample (AOR (95% CI) 0.21 (0.16 to 0.27) and 0.29 (0.12 to 0.69), respectively).
Conclusions Initial visits to chiropractors or physical therapists is associated with
substantially decreased early and long-term use of opioids. Incentivising use of conservative therapists may be a strategy to reduce risks of early and long-term opioid use.
