Inflammation of the hip

Inflammation of the hip can occur due to several causes. Typical symptoms of inflammation of the hip are local swelling, reddish irritated skin and pain on pressure. An inflammation (mild inflammatory response) is a normal natural response when soft tissues, muscles or tendons become irritated or damaged.

When tissue is damaged or irritated, the body will try and increase blood circulation to the area - this leads to pain, local swelling, heat development, reddish skin and pressure soreness. The swelling in the area can also lead to a nerve compression, which we can see, among other things, by squeezing the sciatic nerve in the seat or hip area.

These symptoms will vary in intensity depending on the injury or irritation of the tissue. It is important to distinguish between inflammation (inflammation) and infection (bacterial or viral infection).

Specific exercises can help you mobilize soft tissue in the hip and promote increased blood circulation - which can help fight inflammation.

VIDEO: Exercises against Inflammation in the Hip and Radiation in the Legs

Did you know that inflammation in the hips can also contribute to sciatica (radiation in the legs)? This is because inflammation in the hip can lead to altered gait and thus compensation mechanisms in the buttocks, pelvis and back - which in turn can cause nerve irritation. These five exercises can help you soothe radiation into your legs in case of hip inflammation.

In order to relieve the hip structures, it is very important to strengthen nearby muscles. If these become stronger then they will be able to cushion the impact load and prevent further irritation and inflammatory reactions. Here is a workout program that may be beneficial for you with hip inflammation.

Causes of inflammation of the hip

As mentioned, inflammation or inflammation is a natural response from the immune system to repair an injury or irritation. This may occur due to overuse (without sufficient musculature to perform the task) or due to minor injuries. Here are some diagnoses that can cause inflammation or inflammation of the hip:

Arthritis (Arthritis)

Osteoarthritis (the pain depends on which joints are affected)

Hip joint osteoarthritis / hip wear

Ischiofemoral impingement syndrome

Piriformis myalgia / trigger point

rheumatism (the pain depends on which joints are affected)

Trochanter bursitis (trochanteric bursitis - hip mucositis)

Who is affected by hip inflammation?

Absolutely everyone can be affected by an inflammation in the hip - as long as the activity or load exceeds what the soft tissue or muscles can withstand. Those who increase their training too fast, especially in jogging, sports, weightlifting and especially those with a high repetitive load on weight-bearing joints are most exposed - especially if the majority of the load is on a hard surface. Too weak support muscles in combination with incorrect postures in the feet (overpronation and flatfoot) can also be a contributing cause of hip inflammation.

Inflammation of the hip can be very troublesome. If an inflammation occurs then keep in mind that in most cases it is self-inflicted (a lot of walking on hard ground with a lack of supportive muscle training eg?), And that you are smart to listen to what the body is trying to tell you .

If you do not listen to the pain signals, the condition can be chronically damaged. Our advice is to seek active treatment (eg chiropractor, physiotherapist or manual therapist) for the problem.

Symptoms of inflammation of the hip

Pain and symptoms will depend on the extent to which the hip has an inflammatory reaction. We remind you again that an inflammation and an infection are two completely different things - if you get a severe inflammatory reaction with heat development, fever and pus in the area, then you have an infection, but we will go into more detail in another article. Typical symptoms of inflammation include:

- Local swelling

Reddish, irritated skin

- Painful when pressing / touching

Diagnosis of inflammation of the hip

A clinical examination will be based on history / history and a study. This will show reduced movement in the affected area and local tenderness. You will not normally need further imaging - but in some cases it may be relevant with imaging to check if an injury is the cause of the swelling or blood tests.

Imaging diagnostic examination of inflammation of the hip (X-ray, MRI, CT or ultrasound)

An X-ray can rule out any fractures in the hip or femur. En MRI examination can show if there is any damage to tendons or structures in the area. Ultrasound can examine whether there is tendon damage - it can also see if there is fluid accumulation in the area.

Treatment of inflammation of the hip

The main purpose of treating inflammation in the hip is to remove any cause of the inflammation and then let the hip heal itself. As mentioned earlier, an inflammation is a completely natural repair process where the body increases blood circulation to the area to ensure faster healing - unfortunately it is so that sometimes the body can do a slightly good job and it may then be necessary with icing, anti-inflammatory laser and possible use of anti-inflammatory drugs (we remind you that overuse of NSAIDS can lead to a reduced repair in the area). Cold treatment can provide pain relief for sore joints and muscles, also in the hip. Blue. Biofreeze (opens in a new window) is a popular natural product.

One should always try conservative treatment for a long time before resorting to invasive procedures (surgery and surgery), but in some cases this is the only way out. Direct conservative measures can be:

- Physical treatment (treatment of nearby muscles can provide pain relief and increased blood circulation)

- Rest (take a break from what caused the injury)

- Sports taping / kinesio taping

- Insole (this can lead to a more correct load on the foot and foot - but is not a "quick fix")

Exercises and stretching

Exercises for inflammation of the hip

You should try to cut out too much weight-bearing exercise if you are affected by hip inflammation. Replace jogging with swimming, elliptical machine or ergometer bike. Also make sure you stretch your thighs, leg, foot blade and exercise your feet lightly as shown in this article. We also recommend that you try these quietly hip exercises.

What can I do even for hip pain?

1. General exercise, specific exercise, stretching and activity are recommended, but stay within the pain limit. Two walks a day of 20-40 minutes make good for the whole body and sore muscles.

2. Trigger point / massage balls we strongly recommend - they come in different sizes so you can hit well even on all parts of the body. There is no better self help than this! We recommend the following (click the image below) - which is a complete set of 5 trigger point / massage balls in different sizes:

3. Training: Specific training with training tricks of various opponents (such as this complete set of 6 knits of different resistance) can help you train strength and function. Knit training often involves more specific training, which in turn can lead to more effective injury prevention and pain reduction.

4. Pain Relief - Cooling: Biofreeze is a natural product that can relieve pain by cooling the area gently. Cooling is especially recommended when the pain is very severe. When they have calmed down then heat treatment is recommended - it is therefore advisable to have both cooling and heating available.

5. Pain Relief - Heating: Warming up tight muscles can increase blood circulation and reduce pain. We recommend the following reusable hot / cold gasket (click here to read more about it) - which can be used both for cooling (can be frozen) and for heating (can be heated in the microwave).

Questions about hip inflammation:

Question: Female, 62 years old. How can I tell if I have hip / hip inflammation?

In most cases, pain from joints and muscles is misinterpreted as 'inflammation'. This is a simplification of the problem that shifts the responsibility away from the person affected - and which suggests that it is not that person's fault. This is normally not the case - and most people have probably overloaded themselves over their ability (eg walking for several hours when you normally sit in the office all week) or done other things before they get such a pain presentation. The fact is that it is usually due to too little stability muscles, often in combination with stiff and dysfunctional joints in the pelvis and lower back - the pelvic joints are known to transfer weight from the lower body to the upper body, so it is important that these joints move sufficiently. A public health authorized clinician (chiropractor, physiotherapist or manual therapist) will be able to help you diagnose your ailment.
