Coexistent vascular and spinal claudication: A report of two cases

HW Thiel, SA Mior
PMCID: PMC2484432

Abstract

Two cases of patients with evidence of both vascular and spinal intermittent claudication are presented. When patients present with low back pain and post-exercise lower extremity pain, confusion may arise with respect to the etiology of the symptoms. These cases stress the need for a rational and logical approach to the patient with intermittent claudication.

Keywords: Vascular claudication, neurogenic claudication, manipulation, chiropractic
