Lumbar Stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, where the spinal cord and nerves connected to the legs are situated. This condition commonly results from natural degenerative changes linked to aging.
As the spinal canal narrows, it can put pressure on the nerves, restricting blood flow and causing symptoms such as tingling, weakness, and pain in the legs. These symptoms often worsen with activities like standing or walking and may ease when sitting or bending forward.
With the aging population on the rise, lumbar stenosis has become a leading cause of pain, disability, and loss of independence among older adults. Fortunately, research indicates that non-invasive treatments like the Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Bootcamp can significantly improve function, reduce pain, and decrease disability.
The Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Bootcamp is a structured, 6-week program aimed at improving mobility and reducing symptoms associated with lumbar stenosis. The program begins with a thorough initial assessment by Dr. Peter Miele, our experienced Chiropractor and Clinic Director.
Following the assessment, you will participate in hands-on manual therapy sessions twice weekly. Additionally, you’ll receive a personalized exercise regimen, weekly progress updates, and a set of at-home exercises designed to reinforce your therapy.
The bootcamp’s objective is to help patients quickly regain function and increase walking endurance while equipping them with the tools and knowledge to maintain their progress beyond the 6-week period.
Your journey in the Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Bootcamp begins with a comprehensive history and physical evaluation tailored to your specific challenges and goals. This initial assessment will be conducted by Peter Miele and will include an introduction to the program, including an overview of the initial at-home exercises and stretches.
Over the following 6 weeks, you will engage in manual therapy and exercise sessions at the clinic twice a week. These sessions will include hands-on therapy and a review of your at-home exercises, which will be adjusted as needed to match your individual progress. While the exercise routine is generally consistent, it can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
The exercises in the bootcamp are designed to be performed without specialized equipment. However, access to an upright stationary bike is recommended for some at-home exercises, and a pedometer will be used to monitor improvements in your walking tolerance.
As part of the program, you’ll also receive a Lumbar Stenosis Bootcamp workbook, which includes detailed exercise instructions and progress-tracking tools.
