Ashburn and Herndon SPINAL STENOSIS AND LEG PAIN
Low back pain patients with spinal stenosis and leg pain show decreased cross sectional area of the spinal extensor muscles and fat infiltration on MRI. What does that mean? They have a loss of muscle power in the low back when pain bothers a patient. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). A type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo revealed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn checks for such causes and has just the exercise to address the issue.

Ashburn and Herndon BACK PAIN
Chronic low back pain patients with weak abs were cared for with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”). This produces a spine-stabilizing effect by tightening the muscles increasing intraabdominal pressure and increasing the efficiency of these muscles to make them better spine stabilizers. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered a way for patients with weak abs and intractable low back pain who have failed conservative management.

INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION (cramp-like pain in the legs upon exercise like walking)
Peripheral artery disease patients with intermittent claudication were cared for with a home-based exercise program a supervised exercise program and usual-care control. Both exercise programs had patients exercise with a step activity monitor for 12 weeks. The patients continued with these programs which both proved useful in improving claudication measures comparable to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise appears more effective in getting patients to exercise in the community setting than supervised exercise.
