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

Osteoarthritis, knee or hip, may accompany low back pain for some folks. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a particular spinal condition that is expanding its influence as our population ages. Its symptoms often show up with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Vancouver Disc Centers shares pain relieving Vancouver chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine pain conditions.

THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis

New research reported 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 underwent a patient education and exercise program. So what produces results for these patients? Research study after research study reports that exercise therapy likely improves 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) Vancouver Disc Centers adds spinal manipulation to enhance the Vancouver chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.

TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS

Not surprising to any of our current Vancouver chiropractic patients, hands-on spinal manipulation is pivotal to our treatment plan. A study of conservative treatment of low back pain owing to lumbar spinal stenosis stated that adding flexion distraction spinal manipulation created a more significant reduction in pain and disability scores. (5) Another study using a Cox® flexion distraction influenced treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis recorded 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 Vancouver Disc Centers and is surely yours as well!
