Hip Replacement

Hip replacements deteriorate. Degeneration breeds misalignment.  Pain increases. Hip replacement surgery and rehabilitation is now performed in younger more active patients. The problem is that deterioration may be faster. Let me explain…

The number of hip replacement surgeries is growing at an estimated rate of 8-10% each year. Approximately 70,000 revision hip replacements are performed every year in the United States.1 Explore how a chiropractor can reduce the pain of misalignment. Read on…

A revision hip replacement replaces a worn out hip replacement surgery. Increased activity level in younger patients with unrestricted activities makes loosening of the prosthesis a greater possibility.  Combined with a high BMI makes the risk even higher. There may be no apparent symptoms for some ears. Then discomfort in the hip or knee escalates. Pain follows. Followed by feeling the hip or knee gives way. Hip Replacements Wear Out because…

·        Aseptic loosening (hip implant becomes loose within the bone)

·        Infection

·        Breaking of the prosthesis

·        Breaking of the bone around the prosthesis

·        Other complications

A problem with revision hip replacement is that the surgery itself can be more complicated. The patient is generally older and effects of surgery are more significant. Therefore the necessary rehabilitation may be more of an obstacle postoperative. Revision hips replacements are generally not as good as the first hip replacement. Quality of the bone. Ability to adequately secure the revision hip replacements into position. More extensive surgery. 2

Researchers are constantly exploring new technologies. But every effort should be made to delay the replacement. Pain relief is near. You’re not alone.
