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

A new clinical trial is starting that will 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. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic knows these McHenry 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 preposed study is to investigate whether adding an exercise program to an educational program can enhance walking capacity in sufferers with 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 main outcome measure is walking capacity, while the secondary outcome measures are pain intensity, disability level, and quality of life. (1)  OrthoIllinois Chiropractic knows our McHenry spinal stenosis patients are very interested in these outcomes!

LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS WITH NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION

Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is a condition that produces narrowing of the spinal canal in the low back area, which in turn puts 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 folks in McHenry who need to keep (or at least begin) exercising!

THE EXERCISES

The specific exercises that will be utilized in this trial are made to enhance walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles around the spine. The hope is that by performing these exercises regularly, patients will feel less pain and disability and have a better 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 valuable. It includes 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.
