Fort Wayne Back Pain with Hip Pain Helped with Exercise

October 22, 2019

Have you heard? Exercise is good. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc bets you have! Whether we like it or not, we all need to exercise, move, and get our blood flowing! Fort Wayne chiropractic patients are encouraged to do some type of exercise as part of their overall treatment plan for hip pain in addition to any related Fort Wayne back pain with good reason.  It is beneficial!

SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

Since Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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 – explained the preventive and rehabilitative effects for each in addition to the correct 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) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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 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 mimic lumbar spinal stenosis. (3) What Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc ensures our patients receive the care they need!

BACK PAIN RELATED HIP PAIN

Patients with 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 influenced muscles of the lumbopelvic area. It is important for back pain sufferers. Changes in hip muscles may come from alterations in the cross-sectional area and volume of muscle. Why is this notable? It suggests that development of exercise programs to enhance hip muscle function in back pain patients is essential. (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…without adverse side effects. (6) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc offers treatment programs of exercise combined with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to prevent back surgery when feasible as well as56 pre-habilitate and rehabilitate Fort Wayne back pain patients!
