Hip Pain

Is Hip Pain Preventing You From Lifting Weights, Running, Jumping, Squatting, Climbing Stairs, Getting up From a Low Seat, Sleeping, or Performing Your Normal Work or Home Duties?

Does this describe you?

You expected the discomfort to go away after a few days or weeks, but it didn't.
You tried heating pads, ice, and home TENS machines, but nothing worked?
You had a couple of massages, but the discomfort reappeared after a few days.
You went to a doctor, who took some photos and gave you an injection or advised you to take some medications, but the relief was short-lived?
You've tried physical therapy before but it didn't work?
You've determined that if you just avoid the painful activities, you'll be fine.

Pre/Post-Op Total Hip Replacement

The Most Common Causes

Impaired Mechanics: joint stiffness or diminished muscular flexibility leads to a restricted range of motion; weakness and muscle imbalance, poor posture
An injury is caused by a sudden impact or load on the tissue.
Chronic compensations: a previous injury or fear of future harm might cause avoidance of activity in specific muscle groups while overuse of other tissues occurs.

Kinetic Sports & Spine Physical Therapy Approach

Breaking the cycle of pain requires knowledge, manual therapy, and increased tissue mobility.
Improve the mechanics of the area's joints, muscles, and nerves during daily functional duties as well as exercise/sport-specific activities.
Load the tissue to increase strength, power, and endurance, ensuring that the tissues are ready for all required demands without concern of reinjury.

Treatments for the Hips

Correct Pelvic and Low Back Posture
Improve joint fluid exchange and nutrition (particular manual procedures to open the joint space)
Strengthen the Gluteal and Hip Rotator Muscle Groups, which promote hip stability.
Massage, instrument-assisted mobilization, cupping, dry needling, and stretching can all help to increase tissue mobility.
Reduce nerve sensitivity (numbness, tingling, and discomfort that travels down the leg) using particular nerve workouts.
Plyometric and functional activities (jumping, running, squatting, climbing) should be increased.

Important Concepts to Understand

Tissues mend. The body is meant to repair itself, but occasionally our system becomes stuck in the inflammatory phase of tissue repair and needs assistance to get to the recovery phase.
The true cause of discomfort is frequently unrelated to X-ray and MRI imaging results. On imaging, tissue injury that causes no discomfort or functional limits is possible. It is also possible to have pain with no obvious findings on imaging, which is frequently caused by nerve tissue oversensitivity.
Soreness after exercise is not desirable, but it is not necessarily a cause for concern. True strength gains necessitate a system overload, which causes micro-damage. When that tissue heals, it becomes thicker and stronger than before. Soreness should be utilized to determine whether the tissue is ready to take on an additional load, whether it should remain at the current level, or whether training intensity should be reduced until the tissue is more prepared.
Through appropriate education, proper mechanics, and progressive tissue loading, it is nearly always possible to return to previous/desired activities.

What People Say About Kinetic Sports & Spine PT

Very knowledgeable, personable, and focuses on exactly what you need during the visit. I've seen Jessica several times and she's been a great help getting mobility back for me as well as helping fix very tight stressful areas. Being a bodybuilder I've had over a decade of stress and pressure on muscles and I've been to masseuses, done hot/cold baths, acupuncture, and dry needling was the only thing that helped fix a super tight pec issue I had for months. Highly recommend this place, I just wish I had put more money in my HSA to go more consistently.

Before going to see Jason, I spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars on different Physical Therapists around the valley... I had a bad shoulder injury that was never diagnosed by the first PT's properly. Thanks to Jason, after our very first meeting, I had crystal clear clarity on what exactly was causing my shoulder to never fully heal and after a few visits, my shoulder was operating close to 100%. With Jason's expertise, different treatments including dry needling, cupping, and even some stretching and at home exercise routines he gave me, I have never felt better and he is the only PT i'll see in the future for any injury ever again. His schedule fills up fast and is usually booked 1-month in advance, and there's a good reason for that too, it's worth the early scheduling and well worth the wait. I've sent 2 friends to him already and will send more if any more friends have injuries!

Professional and friendly. Nick my therapist spends time explaining all options to create a tailored treatment plan. Maryann
