treatment plan for hip pain in addition to any related
Millville back pain with good reason.
It is good!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Wilson Family Chiropractic cares for a lot of
musculoskeletal pain like back pain and neck pain and related arm and leg pain,
a new paper was quite interesting! It
reported the recommendation and value
of exercise for several specific conditions. A list of exercises for
various diseases – musculoskeletal system diseases
like low back pain, hip fracture, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis –
described the preventive and rehabilitative effects for each in addition to the correct intensity and frequency. (1)
Patients with knee osteoarthritis benefitted
from isolated hip and leg strengthening exercises with
improvement of their knee pain, function and quality of life. (2) Wilson Family Chiropractic
invites patients with knee, back and hip pain to our
chiropractic practice.
HIP PAIN…OR BACK PAIN?
Hip pain issues happen singularly. Hip
pain issues may occur in combination with
low back issues like spinal stenosis. Hip
xrays are not reliable on their own. MRIs are more dependable
for confirming diagnosis. Hip pain may mimic lumbar
spinal stenosis. (3) What Wilson Family Chiropractic carefully checks for
are non-spine related issues like avascular necrosis of the hip and hip
fractures so that those may be co-managed as well. Wilson Family Chiropractic ensures our
patients receive the help they require!
BACK PAIN RELATED HIP PAIN
Patients with non-specific mechanical low
back pain are unique in their pelvic, hip
and knee movements while walking. They also have less ability
to extend their hip flexors and abductor muscles. (4) Researchers further described
how low back pain affected muscles of the
lumbopelvic area. It’s important for back pain
sufferers. Alterations in hip muscles may stem from
alterations in the cross-sectional area and volume of muscle. Why is this of
value? Developing an exercise program to increase hip
muscle function is vital. (5) Surgeons are even noting
value in having patients who choose back surgery perform
“prehabilitation” exercises before back surgery as it helped improve
range of motion, leg pain intensity, lumbar spine extensor muscle endurance and
walking capacity…without adverse side effects. (6)
Wilson Family Chiropractic offers treatment programs of exercise blended
with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert
back surgery when feasible and56 pre-habilitate
and rehabilitate Millville back pain patients!
