New York City Back Pain Relief via Chiropractic Treatment Plan of Manipulation and Exercise

A new clinical trial is underway to study the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehab program combining education and exercises on walking capacity in those who have lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Rosenberg Wellness Center knows these New York City spinal pain conditions very well…and delivers a relieving treatment plan of Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and mobilization with exercise!

EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS TESTED

The aim of this described study is to analyze whether adding an exercise program to an educational program can improve walking capacity in those who have lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Being a randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 participants will be randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group. The intervention group will get an educational program and an exercise program, while the control group will only receive the educational program. The main outcome measure is walking capacity, while the secondary outcome measures are pain intensity, disability level, and quality of life. (1) Rosenberg Wellness Center knows our New York City spinal stenosis patients are quite interested in these outcomes!

LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS WITH NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION

Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is a spinal issue that causes narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back region, which then puts pressure on the nerves. This can result in pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In really bad cases, it can also make walking quite difficult. The condition is most common in people over the age of 50. These are just the people in New York City who need to keep (or at least start) exercising!

THE EXERCISES

The particular exercises that will be employed in this trial are made to enhance walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine. The hope is that by performing these exercises regularly, patients will experience less pain and disability and experience an improved quality of life.

THE CONTROL GROUP

The control group in this trial will only receive an educational program about their condition and how to manage it. While education is valuable, it is not usually enough on its own to deliver significant relief from symptoms. That is why adding exercise is so important. It involves the back pain patient in his or her relief!
