Have you heard? Exercise is good. Back And Neck Care Center bets you
have! Whether we like it or not, we all need to exercise, move, and get
our blood flowing! Severna Park chiropractic patients are encouraged
to do some type of exercise as part of their whole
treatment plan for hip pain in addition to any related
Severna Park back pain with good reason.
It’s beneficial!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Back And Neck Care Center 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 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 –
explained the preventive and rehabilitative effects for each in addition to 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) Back And Neck Care 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 occur along with
low back issues like spinal stenosis. Hips xrays alone are not reliable. MRIs are more reliable
for confirming diagnosis. Hip pain may appear similar to lumbar
spinal stenosis. (3) What Back And Neck Care Center 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. Back And Neck Care Center ensures our
patients get the care they need!
BACK PAIN RELATED HIP PAIN
Patients who have non-specific mechanical low
back pain walk differently because of unique
pelvic, hip and knee movements. They also have less ability
to extend their hip flexors and abductor muscles. (4) Researchers further explained that low back pain affected muscles of the
lumbopelvic area. It’s a big deal for back pain
sufferers. Alterations in hip muscles may come from
alterations in the cross-sectional area and volume of muscle. Why is this of
value? 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 do
“prehabilitation” exercises before back surgery as it improved
range of motion, leg pain intensity, lumbar spine extensor muscle endurance and
walking capacity…with no adverse side effects. (6)
Back And Neck Care Center offers treatment programs of exercise blended
with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert
back surgery when possible as well as56 pre-habilitate
and rehabilitate Severna Park back pain patients!
