Hip
Hip pain can stem from a variety of factors, including poor biomechanics, muscular tension, and lifestyle choices. In many cases, issues such as inadequate posture and mobility contribute to instability in the lower extremities, leading to discomfort. Moreover, inefficient core or foot stabilization strategies are often responsible for these pains unless there has been an acute trauma. Additionally, irritated soft tissue structures can exacerbate the situation, making it essential to address the underlying causes to promote recovery and enhance overall function.

Conditions We Treat
Hip Impingement
Hip impingement, or femoral acetabular impingement (FAI), happens when the hip muscles or labrum are compressed, especially during deep squats or prolonged sitting with flexed hips. This can cause tearing and inflammation, leading to localized pain that may radiate around the hip. Understanding hip impingement mechanics is crucial for effective symptom management and injury prevention. Early intervention and proper treatment can alleviate pain and restore mobility.
