Diagnosis of Hip Pain:

Our healthcare providers will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of your hip pain. This may include a physical exam, medical history review, and diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or MRI scans.

Types of Hip Pain:

1. Osteoarthritis:
   
   • Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage in the hip joint wears down over time, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is more common in older adults but can also occur in younger individuals due to injury or overuse.

           2.  Hip Bursitis:

• Hip bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the hip joint. It can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the hip area, especially when walking or climbing stairs.

           3.  Hip Fracture:

• A hip fracture is a break in the upper part of the thigh bone (femur) near the hip joint. It can cause severe pain, swelling, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg. Hip fractures are more common in older adults, especially those with osteoporosis.

           4.  Hip Labral Tear:

• A hip labral tear is a tear in the labrum, the cartilage that lines the hip socket. It can cause pain, stiffness, and a feeling of catching or locking in the hip joint, especially during certain movements.

           5.  Muscle Strain:

• A muscle strain occurs when the muscles around the hip joint are stretched or torn, usually due to overuse or sudden movements. It can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the hip area.

           6.  Hip Impingement (Femoroacetabular Impingement):

• Hip impingement occurs when there is abnormal contact between the ball and socket of the hip joint, leading to pain and limited range of motion. It can result from structural abnormalities in the hip joint or repetitive activities that cause wear and tear.

Treatment Options for Hip Pain:

1. Physical Therapy or exercise therapy:
   

Our physical therapists will create a customized treatment plan to strengthen the muscles around your hip, improve range of motion, and reduce pain.

             2.  Regenerative Medicine:

Regenerative treatments such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy or stem cell therapy can help promote tissue repair and regeneration in the hip joint.

             3.  Trigger Point Injections:

           Trigger point injections can help alleviate muscle knots and tightness in the hip, reducing pain and improving mobility.

            4.  Joint Injections:

Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections into the hip joint can help reduce inflammation and pain, improving function.

           5.  Chiropractic Care:

            Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the hip joint and spine, reducing pain and improving hip             function.

           6.  Massage Therapy:

            Massage therapy can help relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce pain and stiffness in the hip.
