Hip pain - a pain in the side!

Hip pain is a common complaint that can significantly impact daily life.

Several factors can lead to hip pain, including lifestyle habits, muscle strains, tendons, particularly gluteal tendinopathy, arthritis, or more complex issues like labral tears.

As physiotherapists, our approach to assessing hip pain involves a thorough evaluation of your

hip's range of motion, strength, surrounding joints, and specific movements that cause pain.

This detailed assessment helps us identify the root cause of your hip pain, allowing for targeted

treatment.

Treatment strategies may encompass

- A tailored exercise program to strengthen hip-supporting muscles

- Manual therapy techniques to enhance joint mobility

- Dry Needling

- Lifestyle adjustments to promote hip health

-Fixing the biomechanics is an essential and sometimes we will prescribe orthotics to alleviate pain and maintain the function of the lower limb

Our mission is not only to alleviate your current hip pain but also to equip you with the tools to

prevent future discomfort and maintain optimal hip function. If hip pain is impacting your daily

activities, reach out to Dalton Physiotherapy in Terenure village for individualized care. You can book online at www.daltonphysio.ie or call us on 01-9081101
