Oxford Back Pain Relief via Chiropractic Treatment Plan of Manipulation and Exercise
A new clinical trial is underway to study the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehab program blending education and exercises on walking capacity in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Satterwhite Chiropractic knows these Oxford spinal pain conditions very well…and offers a relieving treatment plan of Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and mobilization with exercise!
EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS TESTED
The aim of this described study is to investigate whether the addition of an exercise program to an educational program might improve walking capacity in those who are diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. This is a randomized controlled clinical trial with 60 participants who will be randomly put in either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will get an educational program plus an exercise program, while the control group will only receive 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) Satterwhite Chiropractic knows our Oxford spinal stenosis patients are very interested in these outcomes!LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS WITH NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION
Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is a condition that produces narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back region, which then puts pressure on the nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In severe cases, it can also cause difficulty walking. The condition is a very common one in people over the age of 50. These are just the people in Oxford who need to keep (or at least begin) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The particular exercises that will be employed in this trial are designed to enhance walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles around 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 receive an educational program about their condition and how to take care of it. While education is valuable, it is not usually enough on its own to provide significant relief from symptoms. That's why adding exercise is so valuable. It includes 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.
