Have you heard? Exercise is good. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic bets you
have! Whether we like it or not, we all must exercise, move, and get
our blood flowing! Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients are encouraged
to do some sort of exercise as part of their overall
treatment plan for hip pain as well as any related
Fernandina Beach back pain with good reason.
It is good!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Amelia Chiropractic Clinic treats a lot of
musculoskeletal pain like back pain and neck pain and related arm and leg pain,
a new paper was quite thought-provoking! It
documented the suggestion and value
of exercise for several specific conditions. A list of exercises for
different diseases – musculoskeletal system diseases
like low back pain, hip fracture, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis –
described 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) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
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 come about 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 Amelia Chiropractic Clinic 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. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic makes sure our
patients receive the care 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 a big deal for back pain
sufferers. Changes in hip muscles may come from
alterations in the cross-sectional area and volume of muscle. Why is this of
value? 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 helped improve
range of motion, leg pain intensity, lumbar spine extensor muscle endurance and
walking capacity…without adverse side effects. (6)
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic offers treatment programs of exercise blended
with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to prevent
back surgery when possible and56 pre-habilitate
and rehabilitate Fernandina Beach back pain patients!
