Vancouver Back Pain Relief via Chiropractic Treatment Plan of Manipulation and Exercise
A new clinical trial is underway to examine 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. Vancouver Disc Centers knows these Vancouver spinal pain conditions very well…and offers a relieving treatment plan of Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and mobilization with exercise!
EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS TESTED
The aim of this described study is to investigate whether the addition of an exercise program to an educational program can enhance walking capacity in those who are diagnosed with 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 receive an educational program and an exercise program, while the control group will only get 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) Vancouver Disc Centers knows our Vancouver spinal stenosis patients are quite concerned about these outcomes!LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS WITH NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION
Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is a spinal issue that produces narrowing of the spinal canal in the low back area, resulting in pressure on the nerves. This can result in pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In really bad cases, it can also cause difficulty walking. The condition is most common in people over the age of 50. These are just the folks in Vancouver who need to keep (or at least start) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The specific exercises that will be utilized in this study are designed to enhance walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles around the spine. The hope is that by performing these exercises regularly, patients will have 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 take care of it. While education is valuable, it is not typically enough on its own to deliver significant relief from symptoms. That is why adding exercise is so important. 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.
