Montreal 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 blending education and exercises on walking capacity in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows these Montreal 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 adding an exercise program to an educational program can enhance walking capacity in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. This is a randomized controlled clinical trial with 60 participants who will be randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group. The intervention group will receive an educational program and an exercise program, while the control group will only receive 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) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows our Montreal 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 produces 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 severe cases, it can also make walking quite difficult. The condition is most common in people over 50 years old. These are just the folks in Montreal who need to keep (or at least start) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The specific exercises that will be directed in this trial are designed to enhance walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine. The hope is that by performing these exercises on a regular basis, 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 get an educational program about their condition and how to control 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 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.
