Have you heard? Exercise is good. New Roads Chiropractic Center bets you
have! Whether we like it or not, we all must exercise, move, and get
our blood flowing! New Roads chiropractic patients are encouraged
to do some type of exercise as part of their whole
treatment plan for hip pain in addition to any related
New Roads back pain with good reason.
It’s beneficial!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since New Roads Chiropractic Center treats a lot of
musculoskeletal pain like back pain and neck pain and related arm and leg pain,
new research was quite interesting! It
documented the recommendation and use
of exercise for several specific conditions. A list of exercises for
assorted diseases – musculoskeletal system diseases
like low back pain, hip fracture, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis –
explained the preventive and rehabilitative effects for each as
well as 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) New Roads Chiropractic Center
invites patients with knee, back and hip pain to our
chiropractic practice.
HIP PAIN…OR BACK PAIN?
Hip pain issues occur alone. Hip
pain issues may arise along with
low back issues like spinal stenosis. Hips xrays alone are not reliable. MRIs are more reliable
for confirming diagnosis. Hip pain may mimic lumbar
spinal stenosis. (3) What New Roads Chiropractic Center carefully examines for
are non-spine related issues like avascular necrosis of the hip and hip
fractures so that those may be managed with other healthcare
practitioners as well. New Roads Chiropractic Center makes sure our
patients get 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 are less able
to extend their hip flexors and abductor muscles. (4) Researchers further described
how low back pain influenced muscles of the
lumbopelvic area. It’s important for back pain
sufferers. Alterations in hip muscles may come from
alterations in the cross-sectional area and volume of muscle. Why is this notable? It suggests that development of
exercise programs to improve hip muscle function in back pain
patients is essential. (5) Surgeons are even finding
value in having patients who choose back surgery perform
“prehabilitation” exercises before back surgery as it improved
range of motion, leg pain intensity, lumbar spine extensor muscle endurance and
walking capacity…with no adverse side effects. (6)
New Roads Chiropractic Center offers treatment programs of exercise combined
with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert
back surgery when possible and56 pre-habilitate
and rehabilitate New Roads back pain patients!
