THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis

Recent research related that 15% of knee and 23% of knee osteoarthritic patients also experienced 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?
