Heal Hip Labrum Tear with Medica Stem Cell Therapy

Never underestimate the pain in your hip as well as the groin area! You might be having a labral tear in your hip due to the repeated excessive movement across the labrum and hip joint. People, especially in the dance and sports industry, who use their hip joints excessively are more prone to having a labral tear. Either you should stop overusing your hips, or you will have to opt for surgery if the conventional methods do not give any significant improvement. Hold on for a moment before proceeding with the surgical option. Our Medica Stem Cells Clinic in the U.K. suggests Medica stem cell therapy and P.R.P. therapy to be an effective alternative to hip labrum tears.

Before understanding Medica stem cell therapy's efficiency, let us go through what occurs when the hip labrum tears.

What is a hip labrum tear?

The hip joint resembles a ball and socket joint where the ball like thigh bone (femur) fits appropriately into the socket like acetabulum. It is this hip joint that stabilises the hip shape as well as moves smoothly without any discomfort. The hip labrum is a fibrous, cartilaginous ring that conceals the socket and helps in effortless movement. It functions as a shock absorber by protecting the hip bones. The hip labrum sustains proper alignment along with reducing the friction between the ball and socket. It also maintains the level of synovial fluid in the hip joint region.

A tear in the hip labrum occurs due to frequent overuse of hip joints while performing exercises, sports activities, strenuous activities, dancing, or trauma. Femoroacetabular impingement (F.A.I.) is the most common cause of labrum tear. In this condition, the ball (femur) does not appropriately fit into the socket (acetabulum).

Symptoms of hip labrum tear

The symptoms of hip labrum tear include

• Hip or groin pain as well as discomfort while moving, rotating or bending your hips

• Stiffness

• Restricted range of hip movement

• Hip instability

• Clicking or locking sound during hip joint movement

If left untreated at the right time, hip labrum tear may lead to hip osteoarthritis.

Conventional Treatment for Hip Labrum Tear

Various conventional therapeutic methods for hip labrum tear are available. This method includes

• R.I.C.E. formula (Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation),

• physiotherapy rehabilitation,

• lifestyle and activity modification, and

• administration of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), as well as injection of corticosteroids.

These conventional modalities can give only temporary relief as they do not treat the underlying cause of the problem. For instance, physical therapy can only improve the muscular function around the affected labrum part. It neither heals the affected part nor halts its further degeneration. Moreover, if you opt for surgery, there is a risk of permanent damage to the nerve. While opening the hip joint surgically, the femoral nerve will lose its capability to conduct signals.

Regenerative cell therapy for Hip Labrum Tear

If it is possible to help treat the underlying cause of the hip labral tear naturally and non-surgically, will you opt for surgery? The answer will be a big NO. Here comes the regenerative therapy offered by our Medica Stem Cells Clinic in the U.K.

Regenerative treatment includes cellular therapy, platelet-rich plasma (P.R.P.) therapy, and prolotherapy. This minimally invasive therapy can repair and restore the affected tissues quickly and naturally. Usually, in hip labral tears, there will be insufficient blood supply to the labrum part. Henceforth, it is hard to heal the labrum tear only with the above listed conventional approaches. However, our regenerative treatment can help improve the labrum functioning, rebalance the alignment of the ball and the socket joint, and the healing mechanism of affected areas. Hence, regenerative therapy can be a non-surgical option for treating labrum tears.
