Give a little love to your lower back -reverse back extensionsWritten by Karri Koivula
Continued from page 1
The actual performance of exercise is simple. After you have positioned yourself properly, arch your back and lift your legs slowly parallel to your body, then lower. Here is a very good and complete description with pictures. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/henkin16.htm (you’ll have to scroll down a little to find reverse hyperextension.) Like in all exercises, there are no absolute rights or wrongs. You must find groove that feels good and doesn’t hurt. Do it for few sets every other day or so, add some trigger point massage to mixture, and be prepared to say “you’re welcome” when your lower back thanks you for it.

| | Research into the Efficacy of Hyaluronic Acid Knee Injections ContinuesWritten by Jana Willinger
Continued from page 1
Three hundred one patients were randomly assigned to receive three courses of NRD101 injections, each involving one injection weekly for three weeks, every three months, along with a placebo capsule; placebo injections and diacerein twice daily; or placebo injections and capsules. Symptoms were evaluated both by patients and clinicians, and X-rays were performed to evaluate effects of treatment on knee structure at beginning and end of study. Patients in all three groups reported improvement of their symptoms and few patients dropped out of study, which suggests injections are a feasible approach to treating knee osteoarthritis. However, doctors did conclude that further studies were needed to evaluate other treatment approaches using this route of administration Furthermore, based on research by publication American Family Physician, although clinical experience and studies of available Hyaluronic acid injection products including hyaluronan and hylan G-F 20, are inconclusive, they appear to produce beneficial effects with minimal adverse reactions in a significant number of patients. Thus, although research is ongoing into benefits of Hyaluronic acid knee injections, it is clear that injections are at present a viable alternative to orally administered arthritis relief.
