Have you heard? Exercise is good. Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic bets you
have! Whether we like it or not, we all must exercise, move, and get
our blood flowing! Eugene chiropractic patients are recommended
to do some type of exercise as part of their whole
treatment plan for hip pain as well as any related
Eugene back pain with good reason.
It is beneficial!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Rethwill 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 thought-provoking! It
documented the suggestion and benefit
of exercise for several specific conditions. A list of exercises for
assorted diseases – musculoskeletal system diseases
like low back pain, hip fracture, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis –
explained the preventive and rehabilitative effects for each as
well as the correct intensity and frequency. (1)
Improved knee pain, function and quality of life resulted from
isolated hip and leg strengthening exercises. (2) Rethwill 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 occur in combination with
low back issues like spinal stenosis. Hips xrays alone are not reliable. MRIs are more dependable
for confirming diagnosis. Hip pain may appear similar to lumbar
spinal stenosis. (3) What Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic 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. Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic makes sure our
patients get the help they need!
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 described
how 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 important? Developing an exercise program to increase hip
muscle function is vital. (5) Surgeons are even finding
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)
Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic offers treatment programs of exercise combined
with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert
back surgery when possible and56 pre-habilitate
and rehabilitate Eugene back pain patients!
