La Grande 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 show up with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers pain relieving La Grande chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine pain conditions.
THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
New 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 related pain, function and quality of life when they underwent a patient education and exercise program. So what works for these patients? Research study after research study states that exercise therapy likely enhances 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) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC adds spinal manipulation to boost the La Grande chiropractic care and clinical outcomes.
TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Not surprising to any of our current La Grande chiropractic patients, hands-on spinal manipulation is central to our treatment plan. A study of conservative treatment of low back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis stated that adding flexion distraction spinal manipulation produced a more significant reduction in pain and disability scores. (5) Another study using a Cox® flexion distraction impacted 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 Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC and is most likely yours as well!
