Osteoarthritis of Hip
Osteoarthritis of the hip is a condition in which the cartilage that cushions the hip joint gradually wears down over time, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Pain in the hip joint, buttocks, groin, or thigh
- Stiffness in the hip joint, especially after sitting or resting for extended periods
- Decreased range of motion in the hip joint
- Difficulty walking or standing for extended periods
- A clicking or grinding sensation in the hip joint during movement
- Age-related wear and tear of the hip joint
- Obesity
- Injuries to the hip joint
- Genetics
- Physical examination and medical history
- X-rays or other imaging tests to evaluate the extent of the damage to the hip joint
- Blood tests to rule out other conditions
- Pain relievers such as acetaminophen or NSAIDs
- Pulsed Signal Repair Therapy helps to improve cellular function and promote healing in the body. It stimulates cellular metabolism and increases circulation, which can help to reduce pain and inflammation, improve tissue repair, and promote overall healing.
- A proper diet routine along with a nutrition program will help manage the condition better.
- Physical therapy and exercises to strengthen the muscles around the hip joint
- Use of assistive devices such as canes or crutches to reduce pressure on the hip joint
