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.
