Physical therapy is commonly prescribed to patients, but the quality of evidence supporting its use for neurogenic claudication is also low. [10] One quarter of all epidural injections are administered to treat symptoms of LSS . [ 18 ]
Individuals are generally advised to avoid stressing the lower back, particularly with the spine extended. A physical-therapy program to provide core strengthening and aerobic conditioning may be recommended. [7] Overall scientific evidence is inconclusive on whether conservative approach or a surgical treatment is better for lumbar spinal ...
Intermittent neurogenic claudication [17] [20] [21] characterized by lower limb numbness, weakness, diffuse or radicular leg pain associated with paresthesia (bilaterally), [20] weakness and/or heaviness in buttocks radiating into lower extremities with walking or prolonged standing. [17]
IPD's were developed for patients who have lumbar spinal stenosis, suffer symptoms of neurogenic intermittent claudication, and who are able to relieve their symptoms when they bend forward or flex their spines. [1]
Spinal or neurogenic claudication may be differentiated from arterial claudication based on activity and position. In neurogenic claudication, positional changes lead to increased stenosis (narrowing) of the spinal canal and compression of nerve roots and resultant lower extremity symptoms. Standing and extension of the spine narrows the spinal ...
Physical therapy is not a one size fits all profession. We use evidenced based practice to prescribe exercises and use techniques to treat patients. Having someone try to follow exercises on here is a huge liability risk (for example they may have disc issues which you would want to avoid flexion based exercises).
