Jeff Langmaid reviews a study on pain patterns in older adults with lumbar spinal stenosis over 12 months of conservative care. Lumbar spinal stenosis is the top reason for elective spine surgery in seniors, making conservative treatment options critical to understand.
This week. We are back with more research all around lumbar spinal stenosis. A fantastic new study, lots of clinical pearls. We'll dive into it and much more on today's episode. I'll drop a link to this in the show notes as well. In the title of today's study is pain trajectories over 12 months following Conservative Care Consultation in Patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. One of the number one things that we see in our practices each and every day. So this is a really, really important topic. The other thing that's really to keep in mind is the number one reason why seniors and the elderly have elective spine surgery is due to lumbar spinal stenosis. So if you want to make an impact in your community, if you want to make a real impact in people's lives, then taking care of people with lumbar spinal stenosis is a great way to do so. Literally, the number one reason why people have elective surgeries.
