Hip Pain Treatment

Say Bye Bye to Hip Pain

Hip pain is not merely a discomfort; it’s an adversary that disrupts your daily activities. The affliction of it can vary, stemming from age-related wear and tear, injuries, or inflammation caused by conditions like arthritis, bursitis, or tendinitis. Imagine, even the simplest acts of walking and standing become arduous tasks due to severe or acute hip pain.

Sciatica Treatment

Our hip pain treatment program lies restoration, guiding you back to reduced pain, discovering preventative measures and experiencing improved joint mobility through physical therapy.

  

Causes of Hip Pain

Hip Arthritis: Arthritis, commonly affecting older adults, is a frequent contributor to hip pain. It manifests through inflammation, stiffness, and discomfort within the hip joint.

Injuries: Various hip injuries, including fractures, dislocations, and sprains, can result in significant hip pain and discomfort within the hip joint.

Hip Bursitis: Bursitis arises when the bursae, fluid-filled sacs cushioning the joints, become inflamed. This inflammation leads to hip pain and swelling.

Tendinitis: Tendinitis, characterized by tendon inflammation, induces hip joint discomfort and stiffness.Other Issues Associated with Hip Pain:

Hip Pain

Hip and Lower Back Pain

Hip and lower back pain often occur together, as these areas are interconnected through the pelvic joint, known as the sacroiliac joint. This joint links the sacrum, located at the base of the spine, to the ilium, the large hip bone. Therefore, issues in one area can affect the other.

Sciatica is a common culprit behind hip and lower back pain. It happens when the sciatic nerve, running from the lower back down through the hips and legs, gets compressed or irritated. This leads to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in these regions, often due to a herniated disc in the lower back. 

At VITAL Health, we understand the significant impact hip and lower back pain can have on daily life. That’s why we offer effective hip pain treatment aimed at addressing the root causes and restoring mobility and comfort.

Our skilled team conduct thorough assessments to identify the underlying issues contributing to your pain. Employing a holistic approach, we treat not just the symptoms but the whole person.

Hip Pain

Hip and Leg Pain

Hip pain often coincides with leg pain due to the intricate connection between the hip joint and the lower extremity. Serving as a pivotal ball-and-socket joint, the hip facilitates a wide range of movements essential for mobility, such as bending, twisting, and rotating the leg. Discomfort originating from the hip can extend to the leg, resulting in knee pain and restricted movement.

One prevalent cause of hip and leg pain is hip osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint condition affecting cartilage health. Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the hip joint, often radiating down the leg. While more prevalent among older adults, osteoarthritis can also affect younger individuals with a history of hip injuries or trauma.

Additionally, hip bursitis can contribute to hip and leg discomfort. This condition arises from inflammation of the bursae, fluid-filled sacs responsible for cushioning the hip joint. Overuse, repetitive movements, or hip injuries commonly trigger bursitis, resulting in hip tenderness that may extend down the leg.

In certain instances, hip and leg pain may stem from sciatica, characterized by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Manifesting as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness, sciatica can affect the leg, hip, and lower back regions.

    As a fitness enthusiast who loves training hard at the gym and going on long walks/ hikes I have found myself needing longer rest periods within the last year. However, this hasn’t been the case recently since seeing Georgia and receiving her amazing sports massages that truly release the tension and knots in my back and legs. Apart from being professional she’s also so bubbly and makes getting my regular massages a fun experience. Can’t recommend her enough!

  • Knee Pain Client

    After just 1 visit I was able to get a full night’s sleep! I’ve been unable to get more than 4hrs for at least the last year! Very knowledgeable, and confident in knowing what they’re doing here. Actually listened! And worked a base plan out to help my severe knee problems.

    Georgia is very professional and really knows her stuff. Came in with a very painful shoulder and other issues. She has talked me through all my aches and pains and given me exercises to help alleviate the pains!! So glad something is finally working. Thanks Georgia you’re a star.

  • Sciatica Client

    I have had a course of six sessions with Georgia and the sciatica I have had for many years is now greatly improved. I no longer have the constant pain in my back and leg. My posture has also improved. Everyone is very friendly and always smiling. I would happily recommend any one to try them.

  • Sarah S

    Lauren is amazing, she is sorting my back pain from the first session, even though I have suffered with it my whole life. Great professional, very friendly, warm environment and attention to detail. Personalised sessions and progress from the first appointment.  Highly recommended.

  • Back Pain Client

    I was sceptical of physio but was prepared to try anything to relief the pain in my back. It was a lovely atmosphere, a very relaxing experience and I actually felt an improvement straight away. Would highly recommend.  My partner has been using them for some time.

  • Back Pain Client

    Outstanding service, very welcoming environment- I have been to an osteopath and had physio in the past and never felt heard but coming to Vital Health changed everything! After a few sessions I already feel so much better and back pain I was getting from a gym injury has almost disappeared. Thank you for helping me get back to feeling normal again Georgia!

  • Neck Pain Client

    For the last 10 years I have had progressive spine issues in my lower back and more recently my neck. Being in my mid 40’s life convinces you that this is something to “just get on with”. Dan and his team at Vital Health have a different view. Their determination to help me be mobile and as pain free as possible is unbelievable. 6 months ago I hit my lowest ever point after going on holiday with my family and being in continuous pain. Taking painkillers like sweets and feeling mentally drained I contacted Vital Health for Help. Most importantly for me Dan listened and tailored a treatment plan specific to my request of being pain free. Dan surpassed that and has got me to a place both mentally and physically I never thought I’d be again. Thank you to the whole team at Vital Health for your dedication and understanding to a difficult case.

  • Neck Pain Client

    Cannot recommend VITAL Health enough. Was met with a warm welcome from reception staff followed by fantastic treatment from Lauren who was able to reduce my pain after just one session. I have seen Lauren for various treatments for both neck pain as well as lower back pain and have never felt better. I currently visit for treatment once a month to keep on top of my aches and pains. Fabulous clinic with fabulous staff, would never go anywhere else.

  • Neck Pain Client

    Been using VITAL Health now for a few weeks after suffering with a few muscular issues stopping me playing football at my best. The treatment I’ve received has been fantastic and I’ve been able to keep playing weekly and stay on top of the issues I’ve been dealing with. From the moment you walk in till the moment you leave, you are in really good hands! Highly Recommend!

  • Chris Willis

    First visit, everyone was very friendly & welcoming. Discussed my issues with Lauren & she has formulated a plan to deal with my pain. I’m having my first treatment on Friday. A follow up call from Sophie was unexpected but very nice. I am already recommending the practice to my friends.

  • Daniel Williams

    Very helpful and friendly team. Everyone was very welcoming for my first time visiting them and the 4 sessions that I received helped with my sports injury and was very happy with how helpful and in depth the information given to me was. Would highly recommend VITAL Health to anyone with any aches or pains and will definitely be back the next time I require any help with injuries.

  • Julia Magnay

  • Paul Dwyer

    This is my second batch of treatment at VITAL Health. The first time I was treated by Dan and greeted by his partner Holly. He worked absolute wonders on my knee and I was back to normal in a very short time. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming which made me come back when i needed treatment for a back problem. This time I’m being treated by Lauren, she is fantastic and after every visit I feel so much better. Every time I visit the clinic I get a lovely welcome from reception which brightens my day. I would recommend that if you have a problem give VITAL Health a call.

  • Mickey Whittle

    I went in with lower back pain, and symptoms of sciatica. After a careful and in depth examination of the issue, I was given an 8 week programme, everything they did helped, with pain moving around the back and legs they adapted each session to target what was need whilst not forgetting to work on the main issue. Everything went perfectly for 8 weeks and the pain slowly but surely subsided with their help and the programme they provided.

  • Chelsea Gingell

    Would like to say a big Thank you to VITAL Health for my deep tissue massage today with Grace it was AMAZING!

    The lovely receptionist went out of her way to fit me in at short notice as I have my driving test tomorrow and was in need of some work on my back. I feel brand new.

    Thank you!

  • Wendy Dines

    I can highly recommend having treatment at VITAL Health. At my consultation meeting I explained to Lauren the pain I had in my arm & shoulder for so long. With her professional expertise she got to work on it straight away. Over these past few weeks I am almost pain free, just a tiny little niggle now & then still in my shoulder but with Lauren’s magic thumbs & 3 more treatment’s to go I know she will be rid of it. Plus there is always a warm welcome smile when you arrive by one of the lovely team receptionist’s.
