Non-Surgical Hip Pain Treatment in Durham NC

Hip pain in Durham NC can be caused by a variety of factors, and no matter what the source of your pain is, you should be aware of your non-surgical treatment choices. Mainstream treatment options seem to revolve around painkillers and major surgery, even when there are other alternatives available.

Osteoarthritis is a prevalent cause of hip discomfort that affects around 10 million people in the United States. Over time, this degenerative illness causes the cartilage that cushions the bones of your joint to degrade and eventually disintegrate completely. Simple movements can become excruciatingly painful, and many sorts of motion are rendered impossible. In addition to muscle strains and bursitis, hip discomfort can be caused by an injury or a sprain.

Following hip replacement, certain measures are needed to avoid problems such as blood clots (which have the possibility to become life-threatening if severe enough).

Oftentimes patients are also encouraged to consult with a physical therapist. Patients need to learn how to utilize their new hip and to assist speed up their recovery.
