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 growing as the 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 experienced improvements in knee or hip related 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 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) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office adds spinal manipulation to enhance the Groton chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.

TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS

Not startling to any of our current Groton 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 stated that incorporating flexion distraction spinal manipulation created a more significant decrease in pain and disability scores. (5) Another study using a Cox® flexion distraction impacted treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis documented 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 showed 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!
