Hip pain can make sleeping, getting out of bed, working, and enjoying your favorite hobbies difficult. Our team can help identify what is driving your discomfort and create a clear plan for recovery.
Hip pain can be excruciating, and you may assume over-the-counter drugs are the only way to alleviate it. At Comprehensive Physical Therapy, physical therapy offers a safe and comfortable way to get to the bottom of the problem—without relying on dangerous drugs or invasive surgery.
Whether hip pain is disrupting your sleep, making mornings difficult, limiting your ability to work, or keeping you from the activities you enjoy, you do not have to face it alone. Our physical therapists in Metairie and Mandeville will evaluate your movement and build a treatment plan around your needs and goals.
Our body parts work together to help us move freely. When something is out of whack, hip discomfort may occur. A thorough evaluation with a licensed physical therapist is the best way to determine the true cause of your pain.
Hip pain may be related to unbalanced posture or gait, tight hip flexors, weak gluteus medius muscles, or a pinched sciatic nerve.
Acute injuries such as sprains, strains, and dislocations, as well as cartilage or labral tears, hip flexor injuries, and muscle strains can contribute to pain.
Repetitive demands can lead to overuse injuries such as tendinitis or iliotibial band syndrome, creating pain and limiting comfortable movement.
Hip pain does not have to keep you from doing what you want. Your physical therapist will first examine your hips for signs of misalignment or structural damage and evaluate your stance, posture, gait, and range of motion.
From there, we establish a tailored treatment plan designed to remove additional tension or pressure, relieve joint pain, and improve mobility. Your plan may include routines to strengthen the back, lower abdominal, pelvic, and core muscles. Core exercises can help distribute weight more evenly and improve posture.
Joint mobilization and other specialized therapies may also be included. Joint mobilization can enhance joint movement, support repair of injured tissues, and relieve pain. The goal is to help you return to your favorite hobbies with more flexibility and less discomfort.
Hands-on techniques may be used to address joint movement and reduce tension that contributes to pain.
Targeted strengthening and core-building exercises can improve posture, mobility, and everyday function.
Receive one-on-one guidance and an individualized plan focused on pain relief, mobility, strength, and independence.
