Heal Hip Tendinitis with Medica Stem Cell Therapy

It is possible you may not get relief from hip pain permanently even after taking steroid injections and pain killers. The physician will tell you not to overuse the muscles or to go for surgery. You will require treatment for hip tendonitis, but you don’t have to go in for surgery. Avoid this invasive technique of hip surgery and opt for our Medica Stem Cells treatment in the U.K. This can be the best option for treating hip tendinitis.

Let us first find out what is hip tendinitis before knowing about the importance of Medica stem cell therapy.

What is hip tendinitis?

Hip flexor tendonitis is the other name for hip tendinitis. In the case of hip tendinitis, there will be irritation of the tendon in the hip region, and this irritation will cause inflammation and pain.

A hip tendon is the tiny fibres of the cord that connect the muscles to the hip bone. The hip tendon helps keep both the thigh bones and the muscles connected when we move the leg. You can feel inflammation and irritation if there is a severe pull on the hip tendon or overuse of your hip muscles.

Three muscles help in the movement and flexibility of the hip:

• Psoas muscle

• Iliac muscle

• Gluteus medius

Psoas muscle starts from the lower spine, and the iliac muscle starts at the hip bone. We make use of both these muscles in lifting the leg towards the chest and bringing them down. These muscles rotate and flex the thigh bone externally. These muscles help in maintaining the body posture properly. Both the psoas muscle and the iliac muscle extend to the top of the thigh bone and stretch towards its lesser trochanter. It is here that the hip tendinitis takes place. Hence, pain develops on the front side of the hip.

Likewise, the gluteus medius forms a flat tendon, and it spreads towards the greater trochanter of the thigh bone. Along with the lateral and the medial rotation of the hip, it also helps in hip abduction. Tendinopathy or tendinitis happens due to the overuse of this muscle in doing activities. Tendinitis is the primary cause and the most common form of the lateral hip ache and its instability. This causes pain that initiates from the outer side of the hip, and it may spread to the knee, passing through the thighs. The pain worsens when we move upstairs and downstairs. Also, there will be a pain in crossing the legs when we sit and while lying on the affected side.

Tendinitis affects around 10-25% of the population. We can see that more females are affected than males between the age group of 40-60. Athletes who are active in sports like cycling, swimming, and running are more prone to this condition. It’s because they use their hip excessively. Hip tendinitis can also restrict this hip movement. The condition can worsen if it is not treated correctly.

Conservative treatment for hip tendinitis

It is possible to treat hip tendonitis with physical therapy, R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation), corticosteroid injection, and NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) use. These methods can reduce the inflammation and the pain of your tendons. But these methods can provide only short-term relief. Using corticosteroid injections and NSAIDs for an extended period can give rise to side effects like heart problems, kidney problems, and gastrointestinal problems. When all these non-surgical methods fail to produce any effect, physicians advise you to proceed with surgery as a last resort. Surgery is an invasive method, and in this, the damaged tissues are removed. Once the surgery is over, you will have to undergo a post-rehabilitation program.

Regenerative treatment for hip tendinitis

If you opt for regenerative therapy, you can naturally and quickly repair and restore the damaged tissues without any risk. In our non-surgical regenerative therapies, P.R.P. therapy and cell treatment are included. The plasma or the cells from the patient’s own body is used to treat in this therapy. Hence, there won’t be any risk of allergy, infection, or rejection. There can be a very significant improvement within two to four weeks if you follow this less invasive regenerative therapy. In this method, the improvement time will also be very minimal. Hence, if you want to avoid surgery and lookout for an alternative to it, you must indeed consider our regenerative therapy.
