Groton 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 expanding its influence as our population ages. Its symptoms often show up with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office offers pain relieving Groton chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine pain conditions.
THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
Recent research related 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 reports that exercise therapy likely enhances patient outcomes for patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis while no one type is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office includes spinal manipulation to boost the Groton chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not surprising to any of our current Groton chiropractic patients, hands-on spinal manipulation is pivotal 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 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 documented clinical improvement for patients with knee pain. (6) Pain relief is our goal here at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office and is surely yours as well!
