DID YOU KNOW?
The hip is one of the largest joints responsible for a majority of balancing your spine and weight.
Factors such as advanced age, injuries, joint stress due to overuse, and some health conditions can cause the protective cartilage to deteriorate and allow painful bone friction to occur.
Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of chronic hip pain.
Inflammation causing wearing down of the protective cartilage results in pain, stiffness and joint adhesions resulting in decreased movement. This can interfere with the ability to move and perform everyday activities.
Pain that originates because of injury or dysfunction in the hip joint can also radiate to the lower back, thigh, groin and buttock area, affecting the patient’s normal range of motion, resulting in limited mobility, limping, or inability to walk. This is a common occurrence in elderly patients, however all age groups are susceptible to hip injury, notably highly active individuals who engage in strenuous physical activity, such as runners or athletes.
Highly-effective non-surgical therapies are available for patients who experience hip pain. Dr. Amandeep Walia is dedicated to providing the latest treatments to correct hip irregularities and eliminate pain, as well as prevent future injury through regular care and maintenance.
