What is Hip Impingement?

 

Hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), is a condition where extra bone grows on one or both of the bones that form the hip joint—the ball (femoral head) or the socket (acetabulum). This extra bone causes the bones to rub against each other during movement, leading to:

  • Hip or groin pain 📍

  • A stiff or limited range of motion in the hip joint 🚶‍♀️

  • A clicking or catching sensation in the hip ⚙️

  • Pain that worsens with activities like sitting, walking, or bending at the hip 🤸

There are two main types of hip impingement: Cam impingement (extra bone on the femoral head) and Pincer impingement (extra bone on the rim of the hip socket). Many people with FAI can manage their symptoms successfully through conservative treatment.

 

Our Integrated Treatment Approach

 

Our comprehensive treatment program for hip impingement combines the expertise of our orthopedic specialists with advanced physiotherapy. We focus on relieving pain, improving joint mechanics, and strengthening the hip to provide long-term relief.

 

Orthopedic Management

 

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

  • Conduct a detailed physical examination to assess your hip’s range of motion, strength, and pinpoint the exact location of your pain.

  • Utilize diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or an MRI, to confirm the diagnosis, identify the type of impingement, and rule out other hip conditions.

  • Discuss your treatment options and work with you to create a personalized non-surgical plan. This may include anti-inflammatory medication or, in some cases, a targeted injection to reduce inflammation and provide temporary pain relief.

 

Advanced Physiotherapy

 

Our advanced physiotherapy program is the cornerstone of our conservative approach to managing hip impingement. Our expert physiotherapists will guide you through a tailored program designed to:

  • Reduce Pain and Inflammation: Using therapeutic modalities like heat, ice, or ultrasound, along with manual therapy to alleviate discomfort and soothe the irritated joint.

  • Improve Flexibility and Range of Motion: We prescribe specific stretching exercises for the muscles surrounding the hip, such as the hip flexors, glutes, and hamstrings, to reduce tightness and improve joint movement.

  • Strengthen Supporting Muscles: A strong core, glutes, and hip abductor muscles are essential for stabilizing the hip joint and reducing the load on the impinged area. Our therapists will guide you through targeted strengthening exercises.

  • Correct Biomechanics and Movement Patterns: We will analyze your gait and movement patterns to identify and correct faulty mechanics that contribute to impingement. We provide guidance on how to modify activities and avoid positions that aggravate your hip.
