San Jose Back Pain Relief via Chiropractic Treatment Plan of Manipulation and Exercise
A new clinical trial is starting that will examine the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehab program combining education and exercises on walking capacity in those who have lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Chiropractic Solutions knows these San Jose spinal pain conditions quite well…and delivers a relieving treatment plan of Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and mobilization with exercise!
EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS TESTED
The aim of this preposed study is to analyze whether the addition of an exercise program to an educational program might improve walking capacity in sufferers with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Being a randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive an educational program and an exercise program, while the control group will only get the educational program. The primary outcome measure is walking capacity, while the secondary outcome measures are pain intensity, disability level, and quality of life. (1) Chiropractic Solutions knows our San Jose spinal stenosis patients are quite interested in these outcomes!LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS WITH NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION
Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is a spinal issue that produces narrowing of the spinal canal in the low back area, which then puts pressure on the nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In really bad cases, it can also cause difficulty walking. The condition is a very common one in people over 50 years old. These are just the folks in San Jose who need to keep (or at least begin) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The particular exercises that will be utilized in this trial are designed to enhance walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine. The hope is that by doing these exercises regularly, patients will have less pain and disability and experience a better quality of life.
THE CONTROL GROUP
The control group in this trial will only get an educational program about their condition and how to take care of it. While education is important, it is not typically enough on its own to provide significant relief from symptoms. That's why adding exercise is so important. It involves the back pain patient in his or her relief! Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Michael McMurray on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he details The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for lumbar spinal stenosis.
