Hip pain and discomfort can disrupt your life, affecting your ability to walk, sit, or perform daily activities. The road to hip recovery begins with specialized hip rehab whether caused by an injury, a medical condition, or the natural aging process. For New Jersey residents, Twin Boro Physical Therapy is a trusted partner in helping individuals regain their hip mobility and overall well-being.
What Causes Hip Pain?
The hip joint is a complex structure that supports our body’s weight and facilitates movement. Hip pain can result from various factors, including:
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint condition, osteoarthritis can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced hip mobility as the protective cartilage in the hip joint wears down.
- Hip Fractures: Fractures in the hip, often due to falls or accidents, can lead to acute pain and the need for rehabilitation to regain mobility.
- Hip Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa sacs in the hip can lead to pain and discomfort, particularly during movement.
- Hip Impingement: Also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), this condition involves the abnormal shape of the hip joint, causing friction, pain, and restricted mobility.
- Labral Tears: Tears in the labrum, a ring of cartilage surrounding the hip socket, can result from injury or overuse, leading to pain and reduced hip stability.
Hip Rehabilitation at Twin Boro
At Twin Boro, our experienced physical therapists are trained to help patients recover from various hip injuries and conditions. The focus is on providing tailored rehabilitation programs that address each patient’s needs and goals.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Your session will begin with a thorough assessment of the hip’s condition. This evaluation encompasses a range of motion, strength, and any contributing factors to the pain and is the foundation for a personalized treatment plan.
