St Peters 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 growing as the population ages. Its symptoms often show up with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Old Mill Chiropractic offers pain relieving St Peters chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine pain conditions.
THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
New 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 works for these patients? Research study after research study states 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) Old Mill Chiropractic adds spinal manipulation to enhance the St Peters chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not startling to any of our current St Peters 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 stated that incorporating flexion distraction spinal manipulation produced a more significant reduction in pain and disability scores. (5) Another study using a Cox® flexion distraction changed 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 Old Mill Chiropractic and is surely yours as well!
