OrthoIllinois Chiropractics October 2017 Healthy Newsletter
McHenry knee pain is a pain that OrthoIllinois Chiropractic sees often. Pain medications and surgical procedures abound while a new non-surgical chiropractic approach is supplying quite promising results. Principles of Cox® Technic flexion distraction and decompression - a technique used in clinic daily for McHenry back pain and neck pain relief - were tailored for use with knee pain. They are shown to be of help in relieving knee pain. Overall, knee pain patients’ mean pain scores dropped from 7.7 to 1.8 on a 10 point scale 1 least pain, 10 most pain in a mean of 5.3 visits over 3 weeks. More specifically, acute knee pain patients’ pain scores fell more dramatically from a mean of 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. Chronic knee pain patients’ scores dropped from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks. None of the patients had any adverse side-effects. (1) It's gentle, relieving, and comfortable.

McHenry CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Strengthen the Hip Abductors
We all can gain from stronger hip abductors, and McHenry elder folks gain even more. A new article reports that people with chronic low back pain usually have hip abductor weakness, too. (OrthoIllinois Chiropractic agrees as these two are seen often in this McHenry chiropractic practice.) A simple series of hip abductor exercises helped reduce pain and improve function for a group of older chronic low back pain sufferers. (2) Easy! OrthoIllinois Chiropractic will give you some hip strengthening exercise moves you can do at home alongside the McHenry chiropractic spinal manipulation with Cox Technic in office to experience such relief yourself.
