HIP Pain AND Mobility

Hip Replacement surgeries are growing at a rate of 10% per year. But Dr. Prather says that proper Structure-Function Care can help people avoid Hip Surgery, delay surgery for years, and even help those who have already had surgery. In this episode, you'll learn: —How Osteoarthritis is the cause of Hip Replacements. And 40 million Americans have Osteoarthritis, including 80% of those over the age of 50. —How NonSteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) can temporarily help the pain, but will make the problem worse by dissolving the cartilage in the joint. —How Hip Surgeries have "dramatically" improved over the years with increased patient satisfaction rates. But, you will still be considered permanently disabled after a Hip Replacement. —The natural products that work better than drugs to help with joint pain, including Glucosamine and Chondroitin. —The Vitamins, Minerals, and Herbals that are beneficial for joint health. —Why a combination of Chiropractic and Physical Therapy makes things go so much better for a patient. —The difference that treatments like Orthotics, Acupuncture, Dry Needling, Decompression, Ultrasound, Electrical Stimulation, and Diathermy can make for patients with Hip problems. —Why Dr. Prather calls the Rapid Release treatment "absolutely wonderful for Trigger Points" and has "been like a miracle" for patients. And the Chinese Liniments that are "highly recommended" to relieve pain. —What an exam for Hip Problems should include. And why good Imaging is important to figure out exactly what is going on, so the right treatment plan can be made. —The surprising connection between gut issues and hip degeneration. *Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:
