Tonawanda 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 our population ages. Its symptoms often appear with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation shares pain relieving Tonawanda 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 went through 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) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation includes spinal manipulation to enhance the Tonawanda chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.

TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS

Not surprising to any of our current Tonawanda 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 decrease 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 Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation and is surely yours as well!
