Manchester Back Pain with Hip Pain Helped with Exercise

October 22, 2019

Have you heard? Exercise is good. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries bets you have! Whether we like it or not, we all need to exercise, move, and get our blood flowing! Manchester chiropractic patients are recommended to do some sort of exercise as part of their general treatment plan for hip pain as well as any related Manchester back pain with good reason.  It is good!

SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

Since Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 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 – described the preventive and rehabilitative effects for each as well as the correct 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) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 appear similar to lumbar spinal stenosis. (3) What Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries ensures our patients receive the care they require!

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 explained that low back pain influenced muscles of the lumbopelvic area. It is a big deal for back pain sufferers. Changes in hip muscles may stem from alterations in the cross-sectional area and volume of muscle. Why is this notable? Developing an exercise program to improve 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…without adverse side effects. (6) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries has treatment programs of exercise combined with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to prevent back surgery when possible as well as56 pre-habilitate and rehabilitate Manchester back pain patients!
