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

A new clinical trial is underway to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehabilitation program blending education and exercises on walking capacity in those who have lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Moriarty Chiropractic knows these Nashua spinal pain conditions very 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 investigate whether the addition of an exercise program to an educational program can improve walking capacity in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Being a randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will get an educational program and 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) Moriarty Chiropractic knows our Nashua spinal stenosis patients are quite concerned about 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 result in pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In really bad cases, it can also cause difficulty walking. The condition is a very common one in people over the age of 50. These are just the people in Nashua who need to keep (or at least start) exercising!

THE EXERCISES

The specific exercises that will be utilized in this study are made to improve walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles around the spine. The hope is that by performing 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 important, it is not usually enough on its own to provide significant relief from symptoms. That's why adding exercise is so valuable. It involves the back pain patient 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.
