SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Since Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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 reported the suggestion and use of exercise for several specific conditions. A list of exercises for assorted 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 proper intensity and frequency. (1) Improved knee pain, function and quality of life resulted from isolated hip and leg strengthening exercises. (2) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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 in combination with low back issues like spinal stenosis. Hips xrays alone are not reliable. MRIs are more reliable for confirming diagnosis. Hip pain may mimic lumbar spinal stenosis. (3) What Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC ensures 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 are less able to extend their hip flexors and abductor muscles. (4) Researchers further described how low back pain affected muscles of the lumbopelvic area. It’s 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 of value? Developing an exercise program to increase 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 improved range of motion, leg pain intensity, lumbar spine extensor muscle endurance and walking capacity…with no adverse side effects. (6) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers treatment programs of exercise blended with evidence based spinal manipulation and nutrition to prevent back surgery when possible and56 pre-habilitate and rehabilitate La Grande back pain patients!
