Fernandina Beach Back Pain with Hip Pain Helped with Exercise

October 22, 2019

Have you heard? Exercise is good. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic bets you have! Whether we like it or not, we all need to exercise, move, and get our blood flowing! Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients are recommended to do some type of exercise as part of their overall treatment plan for hip pain in addition to any related Fernandina Beach back pain with good reason.  It’s good!

SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

Since Amelia Chiropractic Clinic 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 documented the suggestion and use of exercise for many specific conditions. A list of exercises for various 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 found relief with 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 happen singularly. Hip pain issues may come about along with low back issues like spinal stenosis. Hip xrays are not reliable on their own. MRIs are more reliable for confirming diagnosis. Hip pain may mimic lumbar spinal stenosis. (3) What Amelia Chiropractic Clinic carefully examines for are non-spine related issues like avascular necrosis of the hip and hip fractures so that those may be co-managed as well. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic 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 different pelvic, hip and knee movements. They also have less ability to extend their hip flexors and abductor muscles. (4) Researchers further explained that 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 vital. (5) Surgeons are even finding value in having patients who decide to have 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…with no adverse side effects. (6) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic has treatment programs of exercise blended with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert back surgery when feasible as well as56 pre-habilitate and rehabilitate Fernandina Beach back pain patients!
