Have you heard? Exercise is good. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic bets you
have! Whether we like it or not, we all must exercise, move, and get
our blood flowing! Montreal chiropractic patients are encouraged
to do some sort of exercise as part of their general
treatment plan for hip pain as well as any related
Montreal back pain with good reason.
It’s good!
SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic treats 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
various 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 proper intensity and frequency. (1)
Patients with knee osteoarthritis benefitted
from isolated hip and leg strengthening exercises with
improvement of their knee pain, function and quality of life. (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
invites 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 appear similar to lumbar
spinal stenosis. (3) What Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic carefully examines for
are non-spine related issues like avascular necrosis of the hip and hip
fractures so that those may be co-managed as well. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic makes sure 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 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. Alterations in hip muscles may come from
alterations in the cross-sectional area and volume of muscle. Why is this important? It suggests that development of
exercise programs to improve hip muscle function in back pain
patients is essential. (5) Surgeons are even noting
value in having patients who choose 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)
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic offers treatment programs of exercise blended
with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to avert
back surgery when feasible and56 pre-habilitate
and rehabilitate Montreal back pain patients!
