Manahawkin Back Pain and Spinal Stenosis and Osteoarthritis (Hip or Knee)
Osteoarthritis, knee or hip, may join low back pain to make some of us uncomfortable. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a specific spinal condition that is growing as our population ages. Its symptoms often appear with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers pain relieving Manahawkin 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 associated pain, function and quality of life when they underwent a patient education and exercise program. So what produces results 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 kind is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center adds spinal manipulation to enhance the Manahawkin chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not startling to any of our current Manahawkin chiropractic patients, hands-on spinal manipulation is central to our treatment plan. A study of conservative treatment of low back pain owing to lumbar spinal stenosis reported that adding flexion distraction spinal manipulation generated a more significant reduction in pain and disability scores. (5) Another study using a Cox® flexion distraction impacted treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis recorded 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 documented clinical improvement for patients with knee pain. (6) Pain relief is our goal here at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center and is surely yours as well!
