La Grande WALKING
Walking is vital for La Grande living. How often do you think about walking? How many times are you thankful for being able to walk? Most La Grande folks do not give walking a second thought until we or a La Grande loved one can’t do it or isn’t able do it as easily as we once did. Chronic non-specific
low back pain tends to affect La Grande back pain patients’ motor control when trying to walk normally. It’s suspected that the erector spinae are operating intensely in these patients, resulting in a stiff lumbar-pelvic region and tougher time walking.
(1) A new report points out that
spinal manipulation in combination with individualized exercise enhances the walking ability in back pain patients like those Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC sees every day who are dealing with
lumbar spinal stenosis better than medical care (medications/epidural steroid injections) and/or group exercise in the short term.
(2) Further,
spinal manipulation for patients with lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) also promotes the relief of leg and back pain, disability, range of motion and patient satisfaction. (3) The La Grande
chiropractic care at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC uses one or all these approaches as needed to get you the La Grande back pain relief you want and keep you walking without your giving it a second thought.
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Dan Shuman on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about leg pain relief with his chiropractic care using the Cox® Technic System and exercise.
