Have you heard? Exercise is good. Layden Chiropractic bets you
have! Whether we like it or not, we all need to exercise, move, and get
our blood flowing! Plainville chiropractic patients are encouraged
to do some type of exercise as part of their whole
treatment plan for hip pain as well as any related
Plainville back pain with good reason.
It is beneficial!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Layden Chiropractic treats a lot of
musculoskeletal pain like back pain and neck pain and related arm and leg pain,
a new paper was quite interesting! It
documented the suggestion and benefit
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) Layden Chiropractic
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 in combination with
low back issues like spinal stenosis. Hips xrays alone are not reliable. MRIs are more reliable
for confirming diagnosis. Hip pain may appear similar to lumbar
spinal stenosis. (3) What Layden Chiropractic 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. Layden Chiropractic makes sure our
patients receive the care they need!
BACK PAIN RELATED HIP PAIN
Patients who have non-specific mechanical low
back pain walk differently because of unique
pelvic, hip and knee movements. They also are less able
to extend their hip flexors and abductor muscles. (4) Researchers further explained that low back pain affected muscles of the
lumbopelvic area. It is important for back pain
sufferers. Changes 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 finding
value in having patients who choose back surgery do
“prehabilitation” exercises before back surgery as it improved
range of motion, leg pain intensity, lumbar spine extensor muscle endurance and
walking capacity…without adverse side effects. (6)
Layden Chiropractic offers treatment programs of exercise blended
with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert
back surgery when possible as well as56 pre-habilitate
and rehabilitate Plainville back pain patients!
