West Des Moines Back Pain Relief via Chiropractic Treatment Plan of Manipulation and Exercise
A new clinical trial is starting that will 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. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa knows these West Des Moines spinal pain conditions quite 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 analyze whether adding an exercise program to an educational program might enhance walking capacity in sufferers with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. This is a randomized controlled clinical trial with 60 participants who will be randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group. The intervention group will receive an educational program plus 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) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa knows our West Des Moines 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 low back area, 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 people in West Des Moines who need to keep (or at least start) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The specific exercises that will be directed in this trial are made to improve walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine. The hope is that by doing these exercises regularly, patients will have 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 control it. While education is important, it is not typically enough on its own to provide significant relief from symptoms. That is why adding exercise 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.
