It’s beneficial!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Aurora 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 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 – described the preventive and rehabilitative effects for each as well as 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) Aurora 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 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 Aurora 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. Aurora Chiropractic Center ensures 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 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 is 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 important? Developing an exercise program to increase hip muscle function is vital. (5) Surgeons are even noting 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…with no adverse side effects. (6) Aurora Chiropractic Center offers treatment programs of exercise combined with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert back surgery when possible as well as56 pre-habilitate and rehabilitate Juneau back pain patients!
