Juneau Back Pain Relief via Chiropractic Treatment Plan of Manipulation and Exercise
A new clinical trial is underway to examine the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehabilitation program combining education and exercises on walking capacity in those who have lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Aurora Chiropractic Center knows these Juneau 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 enhance walking capacity in patients 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 control group or the intervention 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) Aurora Chiropractic Center knows our Juneau 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, resulting in pressure on the nerves. This can result in pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In really bad cases, it can also make walking quite difficult. The condition is most common in people over the age of 50. These are just the people in Juneau who need to keep (or at least begin) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The specific exercises that will be directed in this study are designed to enhance walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine. The hope is that by performing these exercises on a regular basis, patients will experience 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 manage it. While education is important, it is not typically enough on its own to provide significant relief from symptoms. That is why adding exercise is so valuable. It involves the back pain patient in his or her relief!
