A new clinical trial is underway to evaluate
the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehabilitation program combining
education and exercises on walking capacity in patients with
lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows
these Tonawanda 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 analyze
whether the addition of an exercise program to an educational
program might enhance walking capacity in those who
have lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Being a
randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 participants will be randomly allocated to either the intervention or control
group. The intervention group
will get an educational program plus an exercise
program, while the control group will only receive the educational
program. The main outcome measure is walking capacity, while the
secondary outcome measures are pain intensity, disability level, and quality of
life. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows our Tonawanda spinal stenosis patients are
quite interested in 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, resulting in 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 folks in
Tonawanda who need to keep (or at least start) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The specific 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 performing these exercises regularly, patients will experience 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 typically
enough on its own to deliver significant relief from symptoms. That's why the addition of an exercise program is
so significant. It includes 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 describes The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for lumbar spinal stenosis.
