SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Executive Chiropractic of Iowa cares for 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 value of exercise for several specific conditions. A list of exercises for various 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 proper intensity and frequency. (1) Improved knee pain, function and quality of life resulted from isolated hip and leg strengthening exercises. (2) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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 along 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 mimic lumbar spinal stenosis. (3) What Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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 described how low back pain influenced muscles of the lumbopelvic area. It is 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 notable? Developing an exercise program to increase hip muscle function is vital. (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…without adverse side effects. (6) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers treatment programs of exercise blended with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to prevent back surgery when feasible and56 pre-habilitate and rehabilitate West Des Moines back pain patients!
