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 interesting! It
reported the recommendation and use
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 proper intensity and frequency. (1)
Improved knee pain, function and quality of life resulted from
isolated hip and leg strengthening exercises. (2) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
invites 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 in combination 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 appear similar to 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 co-managed as well. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc makes sure our
patients receive the care they require!
BACK PAIN RELATED HIP PAIN
Patients who have non-specific mechanical low
back pain walk differently due to 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 important for back pain
sufferers. Changes in hip muscles may stem 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 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 has 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!
