In order for a dislocation to be caused, a major force would need to be used due to the stability of the hip. The hip is more prone to bone and joint damage. As a weight-bearing joint, it is commonly affected by degenerative changes and fracture in senior patients in NV. Age related injuries in the hip are more associated with age than other joints in the body (for example – arthritic conditions in seniors, young adult traumatic injury, adolescent vascular problems, infant disorders of a congenital nature).
Patients often complain of hip pain when, in fact, the pain is in either the low back or buttocks. Pain in the hip can be caused by internal issues in the hip joint itself, as well as other surrounding structures. Falls are most often the cause of traumatic hip pain, states Dr Israel Villasenor DC. This often results in soft tissue injury such as a contusion or a trochanteric bursitis. Very often with hip pain, the pain is worse during activity and relieved by rest.
Here’s how to relieve hip pain, according to Henderson Chiropractor: 1. Keep your appointments with your chiropractor 2. Eliminate stressful situations as they can increase hip pain 3. Get plenty of rest and don’t take on too many activities 4. Get into an exercise routine – muscle fatigue can contribute to injury, which in turn can cause pain 5. Have a positive attitude – focus on the activities that you enjoy and look forward to activities you can do when you are pain free
Chiropractic visits in Henderson include a historical background investigation, such as diagnostic radiography, neuro-testing, orthopaedic examination, and more, in order to find the exact cause of the hip pain. Then they will develop a specific plan of management tailored to your case.
