Are you Experiencing Hip Pain?
Hip pain is a common issue that affects many individuals. If you're suffering from hip discomfort, it's important to seek advice from a professional orthopedic doctor. Hip pain can emerge without any apparent cause, be related to an injury, or be due to chronic overuse. The cartilage in the hip joint, which provides a smooth surface for the bones to move on, can wear down, causing pain and inflammation.
Cause & Treatment of Hip Pain
Hip pain may also arise from repetitive strain conditions such as bursitis and tendonitis, or from a significant injury that results in a torn labrum or damaged ligaments. Not every hip condition necessitates surgery. Many instances of hip pain can be managed with conservative treatments like rest, anti-inflammatory medications, injections, or physical therapy, avoiding the need for surgical procedures.
What is Hip Arthoscopy?
Hip arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows orthopedic specialists to view the hip joint with a minimally invasive procedure that does not require making large incisions in skin or soft tissue. Arthoscopy is used to diagnose a wide range of potential hip problems.
