West Des Moines SPINAL STENOSIS AND LEG PAIN
Low back pain patients with spinal stenosis and leg pain show decreased cross sectional area of the spinal extensor muscles and fat infiltration on MRI. What does that mean? They have a loss of muscle power in the low back when pain bothers a patient. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). One type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo showed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa looks for such causes and has just the exercise to address the issue.

West Des Moines BACK PAIN
Chronic low back pain patients with weak stomach muscles were cared for with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”). This tightens and stabilizes the ab muscles by making the muscles work better and increase intraabdominal pressure to make them better spine stabilizers. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered a way for patients with weak ab muscles and stubborn low back pain who have failed conservative management. (4) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa can offer you some individualized exercises that will be just right for you before resorting to a surgery!
INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION (cramp-like pain in the legs upon exercise like walking)
Peripheral artery disease patients with intermittent claudication were cared for with a home-based exercise program a supervised exercise program and usual-care control. Both exercise programs had patients exercise with a step activity monitor for 12 weeks. The patients kept at these programs which both proved useful in improving claudication measures similar to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise appears more successful in getting patients to exercise in the community setting than supervised exercise.
