Tired of Wasting Your Time with Ineffective Treatments? We Can Help!?
Hip pain can stop your normal lifestyle in its tracks, sometimes with no end in sight. But don’t worry, because you’re not alone. In fact, most of us will deal with nagging hip pain at some point in our lives. But that doesn’t make your hip pain any easier to get through, and knowing what you can do about your hip pain to make it go away can be the missing link to your recovery.
If you’ve been trying different fixes for your hip pain like stretching, foam rolling, and getting adjusted by your chiropractor – all with no luck – then you’re in the right place. The big issue with treatments like these is that they can often get you short-term relief, but quickly lead you right back to pain, frustration, and disappointment.
But don’t get too discouraged, because with the right help you can get lasting relief for your hip pain and live life on your terms again.
Introduction: Hip Pain Basics & How Our Specialists Can Help
Even though hip pain is a common struggle for people of all ages, it can still have a massive impact on your life and stop you from enjoying yourself in the moment. For example, constantly adjusting your sitting position because of hip soreness, avoiding long car rides or vacations with flying and sailing, and putting a hard stop on all of your favorite sports and outdoors activities.
Although you probably notice your hip pain the most at your hip, the source of your pain could be a combination of problems in places above and below your hip that ultimately cause the pain that you feel. Because hip pain can be complex, knowing how to treat each of the pain sources (and where to start) is the best way to get long-term results for your hip pain.
The Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT) are a team of hip pain specialists in Scottsdale who help you treat the root causes of your hip pain and reach your goals on your schedule. That means less pain, more confidence, and a faster recovery.
Understanding Your Hip Pain: Common Causes
Hip pain can come in many different varieties, but your pain should always be taken seriously and treated as quickly as possible. Among the many common causes of hip pain, there are a few that we most commonly see and help our patients with at The Doctors of Physical Therapy in Scottsdale.
Tendinitis is a common condition and can happen just about anywhere around your hip. Tendinitis is most often caused by repetitive activities like running, jumping, or squatting. Knowing which of the tendons around your hip are inflamed is vital to building an effective treatment plan.
Muscle Strains in the hip usually happen after an intense squat, kick or jump and can start out seriously painful. Some of the most commonly strained hip muscles are the glutes and hip flexors. Just like tendinitis, pinpointing the affected muscle is key to knowing which treatments will work best for you.
Arthritis is exceedingly common among older adults with hip pain, but can also become an issue for people in their 30s or 40s with very demanding jobs or sports. Identifying and starting a plan for your arthritis as quickly as possible is one of the best things you can do to slow down progression and promote a healthier hip joint over the years.
Muscle Imbalances are common for people who do repetitive activities with their hips, like running. As muscle imbalances develop, some areas around your hips and knee will take more than their fair share of stress, leading to inflammation and pain.
Body Mechanics are the way that you move, and they’re an easily missed part of why your hip pain starts in the first place. For example, if you sit at your desk in an awkward position or squat at the gym with poor form, your hip can become irritated and weak over time.
No matter how your hip pain started, a successful recovery should start with top-of-the-line, tailored care from hip pain specialists who know what you’re going through.
