San Jose Back Pain and Spinal Stenosis and Osteoarthritis (Hip or Knee)
Osteoarthritis, knee or hip, may join low back pain to make some of us uncomfortable. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a particular spinal condition that is growing as the population ages. Its symptoms often appear with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Chiropractic Solutions shares pain relieving San Jose chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine pain conditions.
THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
Recent research related that 15% of knee and 23% of knee osteoarthritic patients also had lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms. They both felt improvements in knee or hip related pain, function and quality of life when they underwent a patient education and exercise program. So what brings about relief for these patients? Research study after research study reports that exercise therapy likely enhances patient outcomes for patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis while no one type is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) Chiropractic Solutions adds spinal manipulation to boost the San Jose chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
