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 show
up with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms.
New Roads Chiropractic Center shares pain relieving New Roads
chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine
pain conditions.
THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
Recent research reported that 15% of
knee and 23% of knee osteoarthritic patients also had lumbar
spinal stenosis symptoms. They both felt improvements in knee
or hip associated pain, function and quality of life when they went
through a patient education and exercise program. So what works for these patients? Research study after
research study states that exercise therapy likely enhances
patient outcomes for patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis while no one kind
is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) New Roads Chiropractic Center includes
spinal manipulation to enhance the New Roads chiropractic care
and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not shocking to any of our
current New Roads chiropractic patients, hands-on spinal manipulation
is central to our treatment plan. A study of conservative
treatment of low back pain due to lumbar spinal
stenosis found that incorporating flexion
distraction spinal manipulation created a more
significant decrease in pain and disability scores. (5) Another
study using a Cox® flexion distraction changed
treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis documented a mean drop
in VAS (visual analog scale 0-10)-patient reported pain scores from 7.7 to 1.8 in
5.3 treatments in 3 weeks. This study showed clinical
improvement for patients with knee pain. (6) Pain relief is our goal here at New Roads Chiropractic Center
and is surely yours as well!
