33-2 Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

In this issue of D.C. Tracts, we have a panel of experts outlining the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. Scientific literature estimates a 30% prevalence of lumbar stenosis in older adults along with a significant financial burden. In addition, surgical rates are high among those with stenosis, and in the United States, lumbar stenosis is attributed to the gaining increase in lumbar surgery in older adults. Nonsurgical management options for lumbar spinal stenosis include manual therapy, exercise and medications.

Our renowned contributors for this issue emphasize the contemporary best practices for managing lumbar spinal stenosis. Dr. Carlo Ammendolia’s pragmatic feature article summarizes the clinical features and appropriate interventions for lumbar stenosis. In addition, audio lectures by Drs. Michael Schneider and Sean Mathers highlight the psychosocial implications of lumbar stenosis, including managing chronic pain, along with other similar clinical presentations. Dr. Brian Gleberzon continues his Juris-Proofing discussion of COVID-19 preparedness for chiropractors. Dr. Brad Muir rounds out this issue with an abstract review of scientific articles that outline clinical practice guidelines for chiropractors treating patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.

I trust that as the reader, you will find this issue of D.C. Tracts both informative and interesting, refining your clinical expertise and patient services.

33-1 Chiropractic Care of Older Adults

Letter from the Editor-in-Chief

Welcome...

We are excited to present this issue of D.C. Tracts highlighting the increasingly important subject of chiropractic care of older adults. According to published best practices for the chiropractic profession, older adults often seek chiropractic care for the management of musculoskeletal pain, either as a sole primary care provider and/or as a co-provider. In addition, best practices indicate that chiropractic care appears safe and effective, with associated high levels of patient satisfaction.

Our contributors for this issue detail the evidence-informed management of caring for our growing number of older patients. Dr. John Srbely’s feature article outlines the fundamental role of chiropractic care for managing chronic musculoskeletal pain in older adults, while audio lectures by Drs. Lisa Killinger and Brian Gleberzon discuss the role of chiropractic care in health promotion and balance disorders. In addition, Dr. Gleberzon offers a discussion of an extremely important contemporary topic in his Juris-Proofing series – COVID-19 preparedness for chiropractors. Finally, we welcome Dr. Brad Muir as he joins the D.C. Tracts team as Abstracts and Commentaries Editor! In his first issue, Dr. Muir summarizes scientific literature investigating chiropractic care for older populations, including case presentations to encapsulate key clinical applications.

I trust that as the reader, you will find this issue of D.C. Tracts both informative and interesting, refining your clinical expertise and patient services.
