Manchester Back Pain Relief via Chiropractic Treatment Plan of Manipulation and Exercise
A new clinical trial is underway to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehabilitation program blending education and exercises on walking capacity in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries knows these Manchester spinal pain conditions quite 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 adding an exercise program to an educational program can improve walking capacity in those who experience lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Being a randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 participants will be randomly divided into either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will get 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) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries knows our Manchester 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 causes narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back region, resulting in pressure on the nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In severe cases, it can also make walking quite difficult. The condition is most common in people over the age of 50. These are just the folks in Manchester who need to keep (or at least start) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The particular exercises that will be directed in this study are designed to improve walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine. The hope is that by doing 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 deliver significant relief from symptoms. That is why the addition of an exercise program is so significant. It involves the back pain sufferer 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.
