Murfreesboro 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. Most Chiropractic Clinic knows these Murfreesboro 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 preposed study is to investigate whether the addition of an exercise program to an educational program can enhance walking capacity in those who experience lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. This is a randomized controlled clinical trial with 60 participants who will be randomly allocated to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive 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) Most Chiropractic Clinic knows our Murfreesboro spinal stenosis patients are quite concerned about these outcomes!LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS WITH NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION
Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is a condition that causes narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back region, 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 most common in people over 50 years old. These are just the people in Murfreesboro who need to keep (or at least begin) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The particular exercises that will be employed in this study are made to enhance walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine. The hope is that by performing these exercises regularly, patients will feel less pain and disability and have an improved quality of life.
THE CONTROL GROUP
The control group in this trial will only receive an educational program about their condition and how to manage it. While education is valuable, 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 significant. It involves 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.
