Spinal Stenosis Treatment in Lake in the Hills IL

Non-Surgical Care Using the Precise Disc Correction System™

If you’ve been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, you may be dealing with:

• Chronic low back or neck pain
• Leg pain, heaviness, or fatigue when walking
• Numbness or tingling in the legs or arms
• Symptoms that worsen with standing or walking
• Relief when sitting or bending forward

Spinal stenosis is not just normal aging and it’s not simply a pain problem.

It is a mechanical narrowing problem inside the spine that places ongoing pressure on nerves — and it requires a more advanced, system-based approach.

At Precise Chiropractic Center, we specialize in non-surgical care for complex spinal conditions, including spinal stenosis.

What Is Spinal Stenosis?

Spinal stenosis occurs when:

• The spaces inside the spine narrow
• Discs lose height or bulge
• Joints become stiff or arthritic
• Ligaments thicken over time

This narrowing can compress nerves, especially during standing or walking, which is why many stenosis patients feel worse upright and better sitting.

The issue isn’t weakness or flexibility — it’s loss of space and poor spinal mechanics.

Why Spinal Stenosis Often Gets Worse Over Time

Many patients are told:

• “It’s just degeneration”
• “You’ll have to live with it”
• “Come back when it’s bad enough for surgery”

The problem is that stenosis is driven by ongoing mechanical stress.

Without correcting that stress:

• Discs continue to collapse
• Joints stiffen further
• Nerve pressure increases
• Walking tolerance decreases

Doing nothing often allows the condition to progress faster.

Why Basic Treatments Often Fall Short

People with spinal stenosis commonly try:

• Physical Therapy — Helpful for mobility and strength, but it does not restore lost space around compressed nerves.
• Medications or Injections — May temporarily reduce inflammation, but they don’t change spinal mechanics or structure.
• Surgery — A last resort, but often avoidable — and it still doesn’t correct the underlying joint mechanics that contribute to ongoing stress inside the spine.
• General Chiropractic — Helpful for mobility in mild cases, but often not sufficient for moderate to advanced stenosis.

Spinal stenosis is a structural and mechanical problem, not a symptom problem.

How We Approach Spinal Stenosis Differently

We do not treat stenosis with a single therapy.

We use the Precise Disc Correction System™, built on three core pillars that work together, with emphasis adjusted based on severity and tolerance.

The Three Pillars of Disc Correction for Spinal Stenosis

Pillar 1: Mechanical Correction

Stenosis places abnormal stress on spinal joints and discs.

We focus on:

• Restoring as much healthy joint motion as possible
• Reducing mechanical compression patterns
• Improving spinal alignment and load distribution

This helps reduce ongoing narrowing forces.

Pillar 2: Nerve Decompression

Many stenosis cases benefit from carefully applied non-surgical spinal decompression.

Decompression can help:

• Reduce pressure inside collapsed discs
• Improve spinal spacing where possible
• Decrease nerve irritation

When applied correctly, decompression can significantly improve walking tolerance and nerve symptoms.

Pillar 3: Tissue Regeneration

Chronic stenosis often involves inflamed, irritated soft tissues around the spine.

We use SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology and Class IV Laser Therapy to:

• Improve circulation
• Reduce chronic inflammation
• Support healthier tissue response

This helps calm irritated nerves and improve overall spinal function.

Stabilization & Result Retention

From the very beginning, we integrate stabilization strategies to:

• Support corrected mechanics
• Reduce daily stress on narrowed spinal segments
• Help patients tolerate upright activities longer
• Protect improvements over time

Many stenosis patients transition into lower-frequency stabilization care after initial correction to help prevent regression.

Who Is a Candidate for Non-Surgical Stenosis Care?

You may be a candidate if you have:

• Mild to moderate spinal stenosis
• Leg or arm symptoms worsened by standing or walking
• Failed physical therapy or injections
• Been told surgery is the only option but want alternatives
• A desire to improve function and quality of life without surgery

Who Is NOT a Candidate?

Not every stenosis case can be treated non-surgically.

• Stenosis is severe and unstable
• There is progressive neurological loss requiring immediate surgery
• You are looking for a quick or temporary fix

That’s why we evaluate carefully before recommending care.

Start With a Disc Evaluation

Spinal stenosis varies widely from person to person.

We start with a doctor-led Disc Evaluation to determine:

• The severity and location of stenosis
• How much disc and joint collapse is present
• Whether non-surgical care is appropriate
• How the three pillars should be emphasized in your case

If we do not believe we can help you, we will tell you honestly.

Book Your Disc Evaluation

If spinal stenosis is limiting your ability to walk, stand, or live normally — and you want to explore non-surgical options first — the next step is proper evaluation.

Book Your Disc Evaluation

At Precise Chiropractic Center, we don’t guess.

We evaluate the mechanics, assess nerve pressure, and determine whether the Precise Disc Correction System™ can help you move forward safely and effectively.
