The epidemic of opioid abuse in the United States has pushed the CDC to establish new guidelines for providers to prescribe opioids to patients with chronic pain. Among the guidelines to use restraint when prescribing these medications that cause dependency and more times than not, addiction, the CDC is also encouraging providers to try other alternatives. Physical therapy can help patients not just relieve the pain, but also manage it and improve the quality of their patients’ lives.

Your hip joint is a ball and socket joint, consisting of the femur (the ball) and the acetabulum (the socket). The hip is designed to withstand an incredible amount of force. In fact, an activity as simple and low impact as walking, can impart 1.3-5.8 times your body weight onto your hips!
Located between the two bones, which make up your hip joint, are articular cartilage and synovium. The synovium is a thin lining that produces fluid for the cartilage, minimizing friction and allowing for smooth movement of your bones. The articular cartilage provides a protective cushion which accepts and dissipates the forces imparted on the hip joint. These structures are crucial in maintaining hip health.
1. Monitor adjustment – Make sure to adjust your computer monitor so the top of the screen is at eye level so you do not feel the need to tilt your head down or up to read the screen. Monitor stands are available online and can make a big difference.
2. Adjust arm rests – Having a computer chair with adjustable armrests is useful because when adjusted properly there is a significant reduction in stress on the shoulders. The arm rests should be adjusted so when you are using your mouse/keyboard your elbows rest comfortably on them. A table attachment can also be useful if you are unable to purchase a new chair with adjustable arm rests.
