HIP
HOW Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT)/ Prolotherapy can solve my sore and painful HIP

   RIT/Prolotherapy  is effective because it attacks and eliminates the

                                   root cause of chronic pain.

RIT/Prolotherapy will cause growth of cells and tissue to stabilize and strengthen the  entire hip

structure, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.  Even if the cartilage is completely decomposed, new

cartilage will be formed.

 

The NEW Prolotherapy is called  PROLOZONE® which is also an injection procedure with a much greater

                                                                          success rate.

                                                 Snapping Hip Syndrome

This is the injury that has plagued Joan Benoit Samuelson, the famous track star. Snapping Hip

Syndrome is a clinical entity that causes pain and snapping in the hip joint. There are several known

causes, the most common being the iliotibial band snapping over the greater trochanter

(at the top of your thigh bone).

 

It can also be caused by snapping of the iliopsoas tendon over  the iliopectineal line (in general the

pubic area of the hip bone), the iliofemoral ligaments over the femoral head  (where the thigh

connects to the hip bone), as well as other places on the hip bone.

 

Prolotherapy is the treatment of choice for Snapping Hip Syndrome because it gets at the root cause of the problem, which is hip ligament laxity. Prolotherapy to the posterior hip capsule and ischiofemoral

ligaments generally resolves the problem if the condition involves snapping of the iliotibial band or

gluteal  muscles, because posterior hip laxity is involved in these conditions.

                                            Pain After Dislocation

The hip joint is a very stable joint, made that way in part by massive ligaments. Therefore the

amount of forces required to dislocate a hip is great and usually found in car accidents, falls

from high places, and sports injuries.

                                   Hip, Groin Pain and Prolotherapy
Chronic groin pain is easily treated with Prolotherapy because there are multiple ligament

laxities that cause groin pain. This diagnosis is accomplished by the physician having a listening

ear and a strong thumb (TO PALPITATE THE PAINFUL AREA.). An interesting case will illustrate

this point.

 

The hip joint will sustain the brunt of any bio-mechanical abnormality that may occur. If one

leg is shorter than the other, the hip joints will be stressed because the leg length discrepancy

causes an abnormal gait (manner of walking). With leg length discrepancy either hip joint can

cause pain  and usually both hip joints hurt to some degree. 'To propel the leg forward, the hip

joint must be raised which strains the gluteus medius muscle and the posterior hip ligaments.

Leg length  problems are also associated with recurrent lower back problems because they

cause the pelvis to be asymmetric. Prolotherapy to the sacroiliac and hip joints will correct the

asymmetries in the majority of cases.

A hip injury occurred while preparing for a weight lifting completion that put Joe flat on his

back. After the competition, the injury stayed aggravated.  Even after the most feeble leg

workouts I would be limping for hours.  And strangely, I developed a baseball sized rock-hard

lump on the  side of my thigh.  After about six months of this pain, I was introduced to Dr.

Darrow at the Joint Rehabilitation and Sports Medical Center, Inc. 

Dr. Darrow told me the trigger point effect of his injections might relieve the pain, but there

was nothing he could do to reduce the lump on my hip. And the possible Prolotherapy effect

might even grow some new collagen and assist the healing. "I didn't care if it was trigger

points or Prolotherapy because the results were miraculous."  After six months of pain and the

inability to squat 225, I performed repetitions with 500 lbs.!  This was after only four treatments.

Not only that, but that big rock on my thigh disappeared.  Now I'm back to 700 lbs.

While I never admit even to myself how bad the situation may have been, there was always the

feeling that those heavy days of squatting and dead lifting were over for good.

                       Prolotherapy literally gave me a new lease on my training life."

Remember to do warm-up and stretch exercises before playing any sport. This will

usually prevent joint and muscle problems.
