Understanding Hip Arthritis
While there are many types of arthritis, most people with hip arthritis have osteoarthritis, the most common type. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the hip joint degenerates. Without this cushioning, bones rub against each other, leading to pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Symptoms of Hip Osteoarthritis
- Aching pain in the hips, especially during movement
- Limited range of motion in the hips
- Stiffness after resting
- Discomfort in the groin, thighs, or buttocks
Unfortunately, osteoarthritis has no cure, and its symptoms can dramatically impact your quality of life, making once-simple daily tasks much more challenging. That’s why hip arthritis management focuses on reducing your pain and improving your overall hip function.
With a proper treatment plan from BOSH Physical Therapy, you can increase strength, improve flexibility, and reduce pain, helping you stay active.
What to Expect from Hip Arthritis Management at BOSH Physical Therapy
Physical therapy offers an effective, non-invasive approach to managing hip arthritis. Our team will learn more about you and your goals to create a customized program that works best for your needs–no matter what they are.
The most effective way to manage hip arthritis is through regular exercise and physical activity. However, we understand how intimidating that can be! That’s why we offer various approaches to managing pain and restricted mobility, including several hands-on manual therapy techniques.
We’ll then work with you to create a targeted therapeutic exercise program to help reduce your symptoms in the long term. Hip arthritis management often begins with exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the hip, which helps relieve pressure from the damaged joint and improve balance.
We also want to help you get more active outside of the clinic. We’ll work with you to develop a low-impact exercise routine that matches your interests and ability levels. Every exercise we suggest is designed to gently enhance your body’s ability to move freely without causing strain. We’ll also ensure you perform every exercise correctly, minimizing risks and maximizing benefits.
