Hip
Gluteal Tears & Hip Tendinosis
Tears or degeneration of the hip tendons causing pain and reduced mobility.
Symptoms
- Moderate to severe hip pain extending from the outside of the leg to the knee or lower leg
- Pain in the lower back, groin, or gluteal areas originating from the greater trochanter at the top of the thigh bone
Causes
Overuse, injury/trauma, obesity, inactivity, wide pelvis or instability.
Treatment options
Shockwave therapy, Prolotherapy, PRP
Hip Bursitis
Bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that exist around every joint and they are responsible for cushioning the bones, tendons, and muscles. Hip bursitis occurs when these sacs in the hip become inflamed.
Symptoms
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Tenderness
- Swelling
- Muscle spasms
Causes
Overuse, injury, gout, tendonitis, diabetes, thyroid disease.
Treatment options
Shockwave therapy, Prolotherapy, PRP.
Hip Labral Tears
The sockets of hip joints are covered with a layer of fibrocartilage called the labrum, which cushions, supports, and provides stability at end range of motion.
Symptoms
- Grinding, popping, and “sticking” in the hip socket
- Pain at night
- Decreased range of motion in the hip
- Loss of hip strength
Causes
Age, gender, obesity, family history, injury/overuse, autoimmune conditions (RA, gout).
Treatment options
Sockwave, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Meralgia Paresthetica
Meralgia paresthetica is a nerve compression condition caused by irritation or entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which provides sensation to the outer thigh. This condition leads to burning, tingling, numbness, or pain in the outer thigh, and may worsen with standing, walking, or tight clothing.
Symptoms
- Burning, tingling, or numbness in the outer thigh
- Sharp or aching pain on the lateral aspect of the thigh
- Heightened sensitivity to light touch
- Discomfort that worsens with standing, walking, or hip extension
- Relief when sitting or flexing the hip
Causes
Tight clothing, belts, or waistbands, obesity or recent weight gain, pregnancy, prolonged standing or walking, direct trauma or surgery near the pelvis or hip, diabetes or metabolic disorders
Treatment options
Nerve hydrodissection therapy , PRP.
Pudendal Neuralgia
Pudendal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition caused by irritation or compression of the pudendal nerve, which supplies sensation to the pelvic region. It can result from prolonged sitting, pelvic trauma, childbirth, surgery, or nerve entrapment. Left untreated, pudendal neuralgia can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.
Symptoms
- Burning
- Stabbing
- Aching pain in the perineum, genitals, or rectal area
- Numbness, increased sensitivity, or discomfort while sitting
Causes
Prolonged sitting, pelvic trauma, childbirth, surgery, nerve entrapment.
Treatment options
PRP, Nerve hydrodissection, Shockwave therapy, Ultrasound guided nerve blocks.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction
Located in the lower back, the sacroiliac (SI) joint plays a crucial role in supporting upper body weight. Significant discomfort occurs when this joint becomes inflamed. SI joint dysfunction typically begins with a dull or sharp pain in the lower back that extends to the buttocks, groin, upper back, and thighs.
Symptoms
- Lower back pain
- Radiating pain that extends to buttocks, groin, and thighs
- Stiffness / reduced flexibility
- Pain with movement
Causes
Sports injuries, repetitive running or motion, falls, trauma, hypermobility, biomechanical factors.
Treatment options
Prolotherapy, PRP, Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF).
