SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Old Mill 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 suggestion and benefit of exercise for many 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 in addition to the proper 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) Old Mill Chiropractic welcomes 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 occur in combination with low back issues like spinal stenosis. Hips xrays alone are not reliable. MRIs are more dependable for confirming diagnosis. Hip pain may appear similar to lumbar spinal stenosis. (3) What Old Mill Chiropractic carefully checks 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. Old Mill Chiropractic makes sure our patients get the care they require!
BACK PAIN RELATED HIP PAIN
Patients who have non-specific mechanical low back pain walk differently because of different 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 a big deal 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? Developing an exercise program to improve hip muscle function is vital. (5) Surgeons are even noting 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…with no adverse side effects. (6) Old Mill Chiropractic offers treatment programs of exercise blended with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to prevent back surgery when feasible as well as56 pre-habilitate and rehabilitate St Peters back pain patients!
