Finally, you can get rid of that sharp or dull achy pain you always feel in your hip , without those harmful painkillers that can damage your organs and without surgery.
Physical therapy helps by providing relief to your pain without the use of harmful painkillers and surgery (in most cases). Patients that have undergone physical therapy with us have achieved results in less time than it would take to get rid of their hip pain. Our team of certified physical therapists begins by examining your medical history before we proceed to examine your hip. We don’t just stop at your hip, but also examine your knee and ankle in some cases as well. A physical examination is performed, where you will be required to perform some series of movements. This will help us determine your range of motion, coordination, and strength of your hip joint and diagnose the cause of your hip pain. We also walk closely with your medical doctor for other diagnostic and imaging tests.
Causes of Hip Pain
If you’re experiencing pain in your hip, it might be caused by:
This is an inflammation of your hip joint, where the cartilage that covers the joint becomes to wear out. This can be as a result of age (osteoarthritis), rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis.
Hip bursitis occurs when the bursae - thin fluid-filled sacs in the hip become inflamed, resulting in pain. This is usually caused by overuse or repetitive movements of the hip.
Fracture in the hip can be a result of a fall, direct hit to the hip, or involvement in automobile accidents. The thigh bone or the hip socket gets broken.
When there is a tear to a ligament or muscle in your hip, a sprain or strain occurs.
This is an inflammation of the IT band that runs from the pelvis, through the thigh, and to the knee. Although pain is usually felt at the knee, this pain can spread to your thigh and hip
