Largo 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. Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows these Largo spinal pain conditions very 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 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. 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 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)  Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows our Largo spinal stenosis patients are very concerned about these outcomes!

LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS WITH NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION

Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is a spinal issue that causes narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back region, which then puts pressure on the nerves. This can result in pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In severe cases, it can also make walking quite difficult. The condition is a very common one in people over 50 years old. These are just the people in Largo who need to keep (or at least start) exercising!

THE EXERCISES

The particular exercises that will be used in this trial are made to improve walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles around the spine. The hope is that by performing these exercises regularly, patients will have less pain and disability and have 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 valuable, it is not usually enough on its own to provide significant relief from symptoms. That is why the addition of an exercise program is so significant. 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.
