Ashburn and Herndon 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 appear with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers pain relieving Ashburn and Herndon 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 experienced lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms. They both experienced improvements in knee or hip associated pain, function and quality of life when they went through a patient education and exercise program. So what produces results 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 type is said to be better than the others. (1,2,3,4) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn includes spinal manipulation to enhance the Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not surprising to any of our current Ashburn and Herndon 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 found that adding flexion distraction spinal manipulation generated a more significant decrease in pain and disability scores. (5) Another study using a Cox® flexion distraction changed treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis documented 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 showed clinical improvement for patients with knee pain. (6) Pain relief is our goal here at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn and is most likely yours as well!
