Treatment for Hip Pain in McKinney, Texas

If you’ve been told that you need physical therapy for conditions like hip tendonitis, bursitis, osteoarthritis, or any other “itis,” it’s essential to understand the root cause of your pain. Is your hip pain coming from the muscles around the hip (extra-articular), or is it originating from within the hip joint itself (intra-articular)? Identifying the source of your pain is crucial in determining the most effective course of treatment.

What makes this tricky is that several muscles cross both the hip and the lower back, so it’s important to rule out whether your pain is actually coming from the back. At Tempered Physical Therapy, we specialize in thoroughly evaluating your condition to pinpoint the exact source of your pain. From there, we can create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Types of Hip Pain and Treatment Focus:

• Extra-Articular Hip Pain
  If you have been diagnosed with things like hip bursitis, hip tendinitis, or a muscle strain, this is your category. This type of pain affects the muscles, tendons, or soft tissues surrounding the hip joint. If your pain is coming from these areas, the focus will be on:
• Reducing your pain and inflammation
• Loading your muscles appropriately through a progressive strengthening program to improve strength and function
• Working on improving flexibility and mobility to prevent future injuries.
• Lifestyle modifications
• Intra-Articular Hip Pain (Joint-related)
  If you have been diagnosed or think you have hip osteoarthritis, hip impingement, or a labral tear, you would fall into this category. If the pain is coming from inside the hip,the treatment focus will shift toward:
• Improving your hip range of motion to help you perform daily activities with greater ease
• Joint mobilization to improve hip mobility, and sometimes hip distraction to decrease irritability.
• Relieving pain by improving joint function and stability
• Incorporating strengthening exercises to support the joint and reduce the stress placed on it during movement.
