Suffering from hip pain? Dr. Darin Bush and the team at Mobility Spine and Sports in Fort Lauderdale, FL are here to help you find the relief you deserve.
Guide to Natural Hip Pain Treatment
Your hips are responsible for some very important jobs. They help balance the upper body, bend so that you can sit, allow you to walk and move your legs, and more. These ball-and-socket joints are incredibly busy – and incredibly important to your overall function.
When hip pain rears its ugly head in your life, it can lead to some rough days. Fortunately, there are natural methods that can help relieve your pain. Dr. Bush and the team at Mobility Spine and Sports in Fort Lauderdale, FL share some of the causes and treatments in the guide below.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Hip pain can be due to a wide range of issues, including but not limited to soft tissue damage from overuse, misalignment, arthritis, hip bursitis, osteoarthritis, and more. Additionally, pain in the hip may not be caused by an issue in the hip. For example, misalignment in the back can compress the sciatic nerve, which can cause pain anywhere from the back to the foot.
Hip Pain Treatment
Effective treatment requires personalized care. Therefore, the first step is to determine what exactly is causing your hip pain. Does the problem lie within the hip or somewhere else? Is it a soft tissue problem, a misalignment, or something different?
Once the underlying cause is determined, a customized care plan can be developed. This can include any of the following natural techniques.
Therapeutic Exercise
Targeted stretching and strengthening movements can help relieve pain and prevent pain from returning. They can also help stabilize the hip joint.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Techniques like therapeutic massage help relieve pain and tension. They also help restore range of motion and stimulate the natural healing process.
Joint Mobilization
Joint mobilization helps restore proper alignment, relieve pain, improve mobility, reduce muscle spasms, and more.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Often, it’s habits and daily motions that lead to pain and injuries. Therefore, it’s imperative to address those factors. For example, if your hip pain is due to overuse during exercise, lifestyle adjustments can include switching up your routine.
Additional treatments may include osteopathic manipulation, neuromuscular reeducation, interventional injections, and PRP ( Platelet Rich Plasma).
