McHenry Back Pain Relief via Chiropractic Treatment Plan of Manipulation and Exercise
A new clinical trial is underway to examine the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehabilitation program combining education and exercises on walking capacity in those who have lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic knows these McHenry spinal pain conditions very 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 described study is to investigate 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 divided into either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive an educational program and an exercise program, while the control group will only get 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) 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 spinal issue that causes narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back region, which then puts pressure on the nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In severe cases, it can also cause difficulty walking. The condition is a very common one in people over 50 years old. These are just the people in McHenry who need to keep (or at least start) 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 surrounding the spine. The hope is that by doing these exercises regularly, patients will have less pain and disability and experience an improved 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 deliver significant relief from symptoms. That's why the addition of an exercise program is so important. It involves the back pain patient in his or her relief!
