treatment plan for hip pain in addition to any related
San Jose back pain with good reason.

SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Chiropractic Solutions 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
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) Chiropractic Solutions
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 Chiropractic Solutions carefully examines 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. Chiropractic Solutions makes sure our
patients receive the care they require!
BACK PAIN RELATED HIP PAIN
Patients with non-specific mechanical low
back pain are different in their pelvic, hip
and knee movements while walking. 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 is important for back pain
sufferers. Alterations in hip muscles may come from
alterations in the cross-sectional area and volume of muscle. Why is this notable? 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 decide to have 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)
Chiropractic Solutions has 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 San Jose back pain patients!
