Williamson Back Pain and Spinal Stenosis and Osteoarthritis (Hip or Knee)
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 our population ages. Its symptoms often show up with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Apple Country Chiropractic shares pain relieving Williamson chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine pain conditions.
THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
Recent research reported that 15% of knee and 23% of knee osteoarthritic patients also had lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms. They both felt improvements in knee or hip related 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 reports that exercise therapy likely improves patient outcomes for patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis while no one kind is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) Apple Country Chiropractic adds spinal manipulation to boost the Williamson chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not shocking to any of our current Williamson chiropractic patients, hands-on spinal manipulation is central to our treatment plan. A study of conservative treatment of low back pain as a result of lumbar spinal stenosis found that incorporating flexion distraction spinal manipulation generated a more significant decrease in pain and disability scores. (5) Another study using a Cox® flexion distraction changed treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis recorded a mean drop 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 Apple Country Chiropractic and is surely yours as well!
