Auburn Back Pain and Spinal Stenosis and Osteoarthritis (Hip or Knee)
Osteoarthritis, knee or hip, may join low back pain to make some of us uncomfortable. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a specific spinal condition that is expanding its influence as the population ages. Its symptoms often appear with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. shares pain relieving Auburn chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine pain conditions.
THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
Recent research reported that 15% of knee and 23% of knee osteoarthritic patients also experienced lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms. They both experienced improvements in knee or hip related pain, function and quality of life when they went through a patient education and exercise program. So what brings about relief for these patients? Research study after research study states that exercise therapy likely enhances patient outcomes for patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis while no one type is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. includes spinal manipulation to boost the Auburn chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not startling to any of our current Auburn chiropractic patients, hands-on spinal manipulation is central to our treatment plan. A study of conservative treatment of low back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis stated that incorporating flexion distraction spinal manipulation produced a more significant decrease in pain and disability scores. (5) Another study using a Cox® flexion distraction changed treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis documented 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 documented clinical improvement for patients with knee pain. (6) Pain relief is our goal here at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. and is surely yours as well!
