Concord, NC 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 expanding its influence as the population ages. Its symptoms often show up with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Pure Chiropractic shares pain relieving Concord, NC 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 had lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms. They both experienced improvements in knee or hip related pain, function and quality of life when they went through a patient education and exercise program. So what brings about relief 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 kind is said to be better than the others.
