The hip flexor, specifically the psoas muscle, is the only muscle directly connecting the lower body to the upper body, making it a vital component of movement and stability. In my experience, targeting the hip flexor has been profoundly effective in facilitating overall low back recovery.

As chiropractors, we are often regarded as low back specialists. However, I believe the psoas muscle's attachment to the lower lumbar vertebrae plays a pivotal role. Restrictions in these segments can significantly impact mobility, and addressing them can greatly improve treatment outcomes. Enhancing hip flexor function not only restores range of motion but also contributes to lasting pain relief.

Chiropractors are widely regarded as specialists in addressing low back pain. After 25 years of practice, I’ve learned that the causes of low back pain are incredibly diverse and often difficult to enumerate. However, one thing remains clear: chiropractic adjustments are the most impactful tool I’ve found for improving patient outcomes. Whether treating young individuals, older adults, or athletes, the benefits of chiropractic care as part of a comprehensive treatment plan are profound.

That said, I also recognize that adjustments aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. This is why I incorporate various modalities to ensure a tailored approach to each patient’s needs. For me, the key to a successful adjustment lies in identifying specific joint restrictions through motion palpation. I always assess the joint both before and after the adjustment to determine its appropriateness and effectiveness.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Public Service Announcement on Corticosteroid Use

Before undergoing any treatment, especially injections, it’s important to confirm whether the solution contains corticosteroids. While corticosteroids, such as cortisone, are effective anti-inflammatories, they can disrupt nutrient flow within the inflammatory pathway. This disruption may accelerate existing degenerative changes, potentially making it harder to achieve sustainable results with conservative care after injections.

Consider exploring conservative treatment options before opting for corticosteroid injections or surgical intervention.

Love this guy. He’s been such an inspirational part of my journey as a person, father and physician. We certainly help each other grow, and he has been an instrumental figure in my life.

Awesome couple, so good to continue to see patients and have both the desire and heart to do so. I think the word I was looking for there was succinct.😂
