Plainville Back Pain and Spinal Stenosis and Osteoarthritis (Hip or Knee)
Osteoarthritis, knee or hip, may accompany low back pain for some folks. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a specific spinal condition that is growing as our population ages. Its symptoms often appear with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Layden Chiropractic shares pain relieving Plainville chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine pain conditions.
THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
Recent research related that 15% of knee and 23% of knee osteoarthritic patients also had 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 works for these patients? Research study after research study reports that exercise therapy likely improves patient outcomes for patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis while no one kind is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) Layden Chiropractic includes spinal manipulation to enhance the Plainville chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not startling to any of our current Plainville chiropractic patients, hands-on spinal manipulation is central to our treatment plan. A study of conservative treatment of low back pain as a result of lumbar spinal stenosis stated that incorporating flexion distraction spinal manipulation produced a more significant reduction in pain and disability scores. (5) Another study using a Cox® flexion distraction influenced 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 Layden Chiropractic and is surely yours as well!
