Have you heard? Exercise is good. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center bets you
have! Whether we like it or not, we all must exercise, move, and get
our blood flowing! Manahawkin chiropractic patients are recommended
to do some type of exercise as part of their overall
treatment plan for hip pain as well as any related
Manahawkin back pain with good reason.
It’s beneficial!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 suggestion and value
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 correct intensity and frequency. (1)
Improved knee pain, function and quality of life stemmed from
isolated hip and leg strengthening exercises. (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
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 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 Manahawkin Chiropractic Center carefully checks for
are non-spine related issues like avascular necrosis of the hip and hip
fractures so that those may be co-managed as well. Manahawkin Chiropractic 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 different
pelvic, hip and knee movements. They also have less ability
to extend their hip flexors and abductor muscles. (4) Researchers further described
how low back pain affected muscles of the
lumbopelvic area. It is important 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? Developing an exercise program to improve hip
muscle function is vital. (5) Surgeons are even noting
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)
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers treatment programs of exercise combined
with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert
back surgery when possible and56 pre-habilitate
and rehabilitate Manahawkin back pain patients!
