Say Goodbye To Hip Pain with Physical Therapy
Struggling with hip pain? You’re not alone–around 20% of adults will experience hip pain at some point in their lives. Fortunately, physical and occupational therapy at Miss-Lou Physical Therapy offers treatment solutions to relieve pain and improve mobility.
Hip pain can range from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing sensation throughout the joint. You might also experience additional symptoms beyond just pain, including the following:
- Limited range of motion
- Weakness in the hip muscles
- Issues with balance
- Difficulty with everyday tasks like walking or climbing stairs
If left untreated, hip pain can have some severe consequences. Certain types of hip pain, such as the sort caused by osteoarthritis, can increase your fall risk. A bad fall could cause further injury or impairment and might even land you in the hospital!
