treatment plan for hip pain in addition to any related
Colorado Springs back pain with good reason.
It’s good!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR 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 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 –
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 stemmed from
isolated hip and leg strengthening exercises. (2) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR
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 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 The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR 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. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR ensures our
patients get the help 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 influenced muscles of the
lumbopelvic area. It is a big deal for back pain
sufferers. Alterations in hip muscles may stem from
alterations in the cross-sectional area and volume of muscle. Why is this important? 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 do
“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)
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR has treatment programs of exercise combined
with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert
back surgery when feasible as well as56 pre-habilitate
and rehabilitate Colorado Springs back pain patients!
