HIPS (YOUR HEALTH FROM HEAD TO TOE #8)

We are in Week #8 of our series, "Your Health From Head To Toe". The hips are too often overlooked as a problem for those with low back or leg pain. In this episode, you'll learn:--How hips are the root cause of a patient's problem 30% of the time, but only diagnosed correctly 5% of the time.--That hip replacement surgeries are doubling every few years.--Why Dr. Prather says hip misalignment is the reason for increasing hip problems.--How most of the imaging is done on the low back, while imaging of the hip is neglected (which too often leads to a misdiagnosis).--Why a doctor MUST be able to reproduce a patient's pain for a correct diagnosis.--The consequences of misdiagnosing a hip issue, such as unnecessary surgery or treatments without any benefit.--How the life of a hip replacement is about 15 years. And how the second hip replacement surgery does not go as well as the first one.--That recovery time after a hip surgery can be cut by 50% with proper Chiropractic care.--Why proper nutrients and minerals can reduce the amount of pain medication a patient needs.--Why Dr. Prather says chiropractic combined with rehab is necessary for long-term results so that the problem does not have to be fixed again.www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
