A new clinical trial is starting that will study
the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehabilitation program combining
education and exercises on walking capacity in patients with
lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Novelli Wellness Center knows
these Orchard Park, NY spinal pain conditions very well…and offers
a relieving treatment plan of Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and mobilization
with exercise!
EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS TESTED
The aim of this preposed study is to investigate
whether the addition of an exercise program to an educational
program can improve walking capacity in those who
have lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. This is a randomized
controlled clinical trial with 60 participants who will be randomly put in 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) Novelli Wellness Center knows our Orchard Park, NY spinal stenosis patients are
very concerned about 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 low back area, resulting in pressure on the nerves. This can lead to pain,
numbness, and weakness in the legs and buttocks. In really bad
cases, it can also cause difficulty walking.
The condition is most common in people over 50 years
old. These are just the people in
Orchard Park, NY who need to keep (or at least begin) exercising!
THE EXERCISES
The specific exercises that will be employed
in this study are designed to enhance
walking capacity by stretching and strengthening the muscles surrounding
the spine. The hope is that by doing these exercises on a
regular basis, patients will have less pain
and disability and have an improved quality of
life.
THE CONTROL GROUP
The control group in this trial will only get
an educational program about their condition and how to manage it. While education is important, it is not typically
enough on its own to provide significant relief from symptoms. That's why the addition of an exercise program is
so valuable. It includes the back
pain patient in his or her relief! Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Michael McMurray on The Back Doctors Podcast with
Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for lumbar spinal stenosis.
