A Personal Message From Hip Pain Specialist, Dr. Casey Murphy
|
If you’ve got hip pain, stiffness or an ache, it’s easy to think “oh it’s just an ache and will go away tomorrow”. Or maybe you assume you just exercised wrong or just sat in that hard chair too long. Even worse, maybe you think “it’s normal” because you’re getting older…
There’s no obvious reason that it happened, but it doesn’t seem to be getting better! If so, you’re not alone - we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Hip Pain is THE most common problem we see in our clinic in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. We help people every day who feel exactly this way. |

When it comes to living with hip pain, everyone wants to know...
✔️ "Why am I having this hip pain?"
✔️ "Why did my hip pain return, even though I've gotten it treated before?" ✔️ "Why has just resting not fixed my hip pain?" ✔️ "Will I ever get back to the workouts and activities I love without pain?” Most people think that when they get Hip Pain, it’s just going to go away on it’s own. That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, it’ll be as if back pain never happened… But then 6 months later you’re still living with hip pain - often even worse than it was when it came on. Does That Sound Like You?
Another scenario we see all the time in our Physical Therapy Clinic is when people go to the Doctors, and the Doctor tells them to rest and “try these painkillers" and “see how it goes”.
But this is rarely ever good advice and often 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better. Worse, they’re often given yet another prescription of even stronger pills, and advised MORE rest. This is madness and is exactly why so many people are suffering with chronic hip pain - because the traditional healthcare system doesn't give them the care they so desperately need. Has This Type Of Thing Happened To You?
Why else does hip pain last longer than it should? Well, it’s easy to get confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. There’s lots of people out there who are happy to dispense advice - but not all of it is credible.
Maybe you think your hip pain was caused by doing something - like lifting or sleeping awkwardly - but really it was caused by years and years of poor posture and repetitive stress that caused the muscles in your core to become weak and your hip and pelvic muscles to overwork and compensate...and the lifting or the awkward sleeping position was just the EFFECT of that. If you don’t know what you’re doing - hip pain can be very confusing and because of this, many people just end up accepting it as ‘part of life’ - as if it’s normal, and ‘just the way it is’. Is This How You Feel Too? |

If You're Currently Living With Hip Pain, Here Are A Few Reasons It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
|
|
😞 You thought it would go away on it's own...but it didn't.
😞 The Doctor told you to rest and take painkillers - but the pills did nothing to help the cause, and as soon as they wore off, your hip pain came back. 😞 A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets hip pain as they get older, so you just accepted it. 😞 You tried other Healthcare Professionals, or even Physical Therapy in the past, but it didn't seem to help, so you think it won't work now. 😞 Relying on “Dr. Google” or YouTube for exercises that didn’t make any difference (or maybe even made your back pain worse!) 😞 You thought it would be a good idea to rest because your Hip Pain was so bad, but the rest only made it feel worse! 😞 You got a few relaxing massages, hoping it would fix the pain, but the pain came back a few days later. |

What Can I Do To Get Rid Of My Hip Pain Quickly?
Here are 4 things you can do that will help you end back pain and feel free:
1) First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people rest for weeks, hoping that the pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed…or the pain has gotten worse. 2) Next, do the RIGHT exercises - one of the best things to help you ease your hip pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises. The right exercises given to you by a hip specialist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again quickly - and make sure that the problems don’t come back any time soon. 3) Avoid long periods of rest - the truth is that our bodies were designed to move. While certain activities like running or lifting may bother your hip right now, that doesn't mean that restricting all movement is what you need to be doing. In fact, it might be the very thing that makes your hip pain worse. If certain movements are painful, it's important to find the root cause and get you moving properly so you can continue staying active without hip pain. 4) Get real, “hands-on” and customized treatment - Customized physical therapy treatment is proven to help people with hip pain. In fact, at Empower, it’s one of the most common issues we see people aged 40+ living with. If your hip pain is affecting your job, if it stops you from keeping active, or if it threatens your independence and gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends - high quality and customized treatment can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible. If you would like to know how the treatment at Empower in Wheat Ridge can help you live with less hip pain - we invite you to start with a completely free, no-obligation, risk free appointment with a hip pain specialist: Note: this free discovery session is something we offer to people to people who are very nervous or skeptical about physical therapy, unsure of it's benefits, or perhaps they've had unsuccessful physical therapy before.
