Richmond Back Pain Relief via Chiropractic Treatment Plan of Manipulation and Exercise

A new clinical trial is starting that will examine the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehab program combining education and exercises on walking capacity in those who have lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Johnson Chiropractic knows these Richmond 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 described study is to investigate whether the addition of an exercise program to an educational program can improve walking capacity in those who are diagnosed 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 intervention or control 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)  Johnson Chiropractic knows our Richmond spinal stenosis patients are very 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 lower back region, 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 a very common one in people over 50 years old. These are just the people in Richmond who need to keep (or at least start) exercising!

THE EXERCISES

The particular exercises that will be employed in this study 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 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 usually enough on its own to deliver significant relief from symptoms. That's why the addition of an exercise program 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 describes The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for lumbar spinal stenosis.
