Hip and Knee Pain Relief
Don’t Let Hip And Knee Pain Keep You From Living Your Best Life!
Physical Therapy Can Help In Pain Relief.
Do you have any problems with joint movement? Suppose your hip or knee can’t sustain your body weight without causing painful aches and dreadful sensations. In that case, you may be unable to perform your job, play sports, handle home duties, or even find a suitable resting or sleeping posture.
You may be tempted to use painkillers or seek joint replacement surgery as a result of these limits and frustrations. Fortunately, physical therapy — the natural approach to pain management — works well for hip and knee pain relief. At Optimus Health Center, we use cutting-edge treatment methods to help you get fast relief.
Why Are You Experiencing Hip And Knee Pain?
Osteoarthritis:
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the cartilage that ordinarily prevents the ends of the bones of a joint from rubbing against each other. Chronic discomfort and inflammation ensue from the friction.
Strains, Sprains, And Reptures:
Muscles, tendons, and ligaments allow the knee and hip joints to move. A strain (damage to muscles or tendons) or a sprain (damage to ligaments) can be caused by repetitive motion or an acute injury (hyperextension of a ligament). ACL ruptures can be dangerous for athletes (anterior cruciate ligament).
Bursitis:
Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that prevent friction between bones and soft tissues in the hips and knees. Unfortunately, misuse can cause bursitis, a painful condition in which these sacs become inflamed.
Hip or knee pain can be aggravated by a variety of health or lifestyle issues. A good example is carrying additional weight due to musculoskeletal misalignment or postural imbalance. A lack of activity can weaken the muscle, leading to chronic stress and joint instability.
