Manchester Back Pain and Spinal Stenosis and Osteoarthritis (Hip or Knee)

Its symptoms often appear with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms.

THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
New research related that 15% of knee and 23% of knee osteoarthritic patients also experienced lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms. They both experienced improvements in knee or hip related pain, function and quality of life when they went through a patient education and exercise program. So what produces results for these patients? Research study after research study reports that exercise therapy likely enhances patient outcomes for patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis while no one type is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries includes spinal manipulation to boost the Manchester chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
