Its symptoms often appear with other osteoarthritic conditions and stenosis symptoms. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers offers pain relieving Baton Rouge chiropractic care for spine pain relief for spinal stenosis and other spine pain conditions.
THE COMBINATION: Back Pain and Osteoarthritis
Recent research reported 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 reports 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.
