What is Snapping Hip Syndrome?

 

Snapping hip syndrome, also known as “dancer’s hip,” is a condition characterized by a snapping or clicking sound or sensation around the hip joint. This phenomenon can be:

 

  • External: A tendon (iliotibial band or gluteus maximus) snaps over the bony prominence on the side of the hip.

  • Internal: The iliopsoas tendon snaps over a structure at the front of the hip joint.

  • Intra-articular: A loose piece of cartilage or a labral tear within the joint causes the snapping.

While often painless, the snapping can sometimes lead to inflammation and pain, particularly in athletes and individuals involved in repetitive hip movements.

 

 

Our Integrated Treatment Approach

 

Our comprehensive treatment plan for snapping hip syndrome combines the expertise of our orthopedic specialists with targeted advanced physiotherapy to address the root cause of the snapping and alleviate any pain or discomfort.

 

Orthopedic Management

 

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by our orthopedic specialist. They will:

  • Conduct a detailed physical examination to determine the type of snapping hip you have (internal, external, or intra-articular) and identify any underlying causes.

  • Order diagnostic imaging, such as an ultrasound or MRI, to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions like a labral tear or bursitis.

  • Develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication to reduce inflammation or, in rare cases, a targeted injection to provide relief and facilitate rehabilitation.

 

Advanced Physiotherapy

 

Our advanced physiotherapy program is central to effectively treating and managing snapping hip syndrome. Our expert physiotherapists will guide you through a tailored program to:

  • Reduce Inflammation and Pain: Using therapeutic modalities like heat or ice and manual techniques to soothe the affected tendons and muscles.

     

  • Correct Muscle Imbalances: We focus on strengthening weak muscles and stretching tight ones, especially those in the hip and core, to improve joint stability and function.

  • Improve Flexibility: Targeted stretching exercises are prescribed to lengthen the tight muscles and tendons that are causing the snapping, such as the iliotibial band or iliopsoas.

     

  • Retrain Movement Patterns: Our therapists will provide gait analysis and functional training to help you modify your movements and avoid actions that trigger the snapping.
