Osteoarthritis, knee or hip, may accompany low back pain for some folks. Lumbar
spinal stenosis is a specific spinal condition that is expanding
its influence as the population ages. Its symptoms often show
up with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms.
Minster Chiropractic Center shares pain relieving Minster
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 experienced lumbar
spinal stenosis symptoms. They both experienced improvements in knee
or hip associated pain, function and quality of life when they underwent a patient education and exercise program. So what brings about relief for these patients? Research study after
research study states that exercise therapy likely enhances
patient outcomes for patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis while no one type
is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) Minster Chiropractic Center adds
spinal manipulation to enhance the Minster chiropractic care
and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not startling to any of our
current Minster chiropractic patients, hands-on spinal manipulation
is pivotal to our treatment plan. A study of conservative
treatment of low back pain as a result of lumbar spinal
stenosis stated that adding flexion
distraction spinal manipulation produced a more
significant decrease in pain and disability scores. (5) Another
study using a Cox® flexion distraction impacted
treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis documented a mean decrease
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 showed clinical
improvement for patients with knee pain. (6) Pain relief is our goal here at Minster Chiropractic Center
and is surely yours as well!
