Hip Pain & Injuries

Understanding Hip Pain

If you are experiencing hip pain or injuries, you know how debilitating it can be. The hip joint is one of the largest weight-bearing joints in the body and plays a crucial role in maintaining mobility and stability. Various factors like aging, trauma, overuse, or underlying medical conditions can contribute to hip pain.

At Naab Road Surgical Center, we specialize in Orthopedics and offer comprehensive care for a wide range of hip conditions. Our team of expert physicians, advanced diagnostic tools, and state-of-the-art facilities ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can have various causes, and it is essential to identify the underlying source to provide targeted treatment. Some common causes of hip pain and injuries include:

• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other forms of arthritis can affect the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
• Hip Fractures: Falls or trauma can result in hip fractures, causing severe pain and immobility.
• Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint, can cause pain and swelling.
• Tendonitis: Overuse or repetitive movements can lead to inflammation of the tendons surrounding the hip joint, causing pain and discomfort.
• Labral Tears: Tears in the labrum, a ring of cartilage that surrounds the hip socket, can cause hip pain and a feeling of instability.
• Hip Impingement: Structural abnormalities in the hip joint can result in impingement, causing pain and restricted range of motion.

Diagnosis and Treatment

At Naab Road Surgical Center, our experienced orthopedic specialists employ a comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat hip pain and injuries. We utilize advanced imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, and CT scans to assess the extent of damage and evaluate the underlying cause of your hip pain.

Based on the diagnostic results, our team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Treatment options may include:

• Medication: Over-the-counter pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, or prescribed medications can help manage pain and reduce inflammation.
• Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises and physical therapy can improve strength, flexibility, and mobility, enhancing overall hip function.
• Injections: Corticosteroid injections or hyaluronic acid injections may be recommended to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: In some cases, minimally invasive surgical procedures like arthroscopy or hip resurfacing may be necessary to repair damaged tissues or correct structural abnormalities.
• Joint Replacement: Severe hip pain or degenerative conditions may require total hip replacement surgery to replace the damaged joint with an artificial hip implant.

Our dedicated medical staff and state-of-the-art surgical facilities ensure that you receive the highest quality of care during your treatment and recovery process.

Preventing Hip Pain and Injury

While some causes of hip pain are unavoidable, there are measures you can take to reduce the risk of hip injuries and maintain overall hip health:

• Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight puts extra strain on your hip joints. Aim for a healthy weight range through regular exercise and a balanced diet.
• Stay Active: Regular exercise, particularly activities that strengthen the hip muscles, can help maintain hip joint integrity and stability.
• Use Proper Body Mechanics: Practice correct posture and body mechanics during activities like lifting heavy objects or performing strenuous exercises to minimize hip strain.
• Avoid Overuse: Give your hips ample rest and avoid overusing them in sports or physical activities that involve repetitive motions.
• Use Protective Equipment: When participating in high-impact sports or activities, wear appropriate protective gear like helmets, pads, or supportive footwear.
