A new clinical trial is underway to study
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. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows
these Auburn spinal pain conditions quite 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 preposed study is to analyze
whether the addition of an exercise program to an educational
program might enhance walking capacity in those who experience lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Being a
randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 participants will be randomly put in either the control group or the intervention group. The intervention group
will get an educational program and an exercise
program, while the control group will only receive the educational
program. The primary outcome measure is walking capacity, while the
secondary outcome measures are pain intensity, disability level, and quality of
life. (1) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows our Auburn spinal stenosis patients are
very 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 lower back region, resulting in pressure on the nerves. This can lead to pain,
numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In really bad
cases, it can also make walking quite difficult.
The condition is a very common one in people over the age of 50. These are just the folks in
Auburn who need to keep (or at least begin) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The particular exercises that will be used
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 feel less pain
and disability and have an improved quality of
life.
THE CONTROL GROUP
The control group in this trial will only receive
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 provide significant relief from symptoms. That
is why adding exercise is
so important. 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.
