Many people do not have any long-term relief from pain despite consuming medicines and taking corticosteroid injections. Your physician may suggest you go in for surgery or not to overuse your muscles. Treating hip tendinitis is mandatory; however, surgery is not the only treatment available. If you are looking out for an alternative treatment for hip tendonitis, you can consult our Medica Stem Cells regenerative treatment in the U.K. Let us first explain how tendinitis affects your hip, and then we will explain the benefits of medica stem cell therapy.

What is hip tendinitis?

The other name for hip tendonitis is hip flexor tendonitis. People affected with hip tendonitis will have irritation of tendons in the hip area. Hence, this will lead to pain and inflammation.

The hip tendon is made up of small fibres. These fibres connect the muscles with the hip bone. Hip tendon connecting the muscles to the thigh bone help in moving the leg. When there is a severe pull in the hip tendon or overuse of your hip, there is inflammation, pain, and irritation.

Reasons for hip tendinitis

To move or flex the muscles, we make use of totally three muscles. They include gluteus medius, iliac muscle, and psoas muscle. The gluteus medius grows into a flat tendon that lengthens towards the thigh bone’s greater trochanter. Psoas muscle arises from the lower spine. Iliac muscle rises from the hip bone. Both the psoas muscle and iliac muscle are involved in lifting the leg and in rotating the thigh bone. Hip tendonitis takes place when these muscles prolong distally towards the lesser trochanter. Likewise, gluteus tendonitis or tendinopathy is caused due to excess activities or the overuse of the gluteus medius muscle.

Among the overall population, nearly 10–25% of people are affected with hip tendinitis. It is more prevalent in females compared to males in the age group of 40–60 years. Hip tendinitis is prone to affect the sportspersons like runners, cyclists, swimmers, etc., as they tend to overuse their hips.

Symptoms of hip tendinitis

People with hip tendonitis will get pain on the outer side of the hip that will spread towards the knee. Lying on the affected side will worsen the pain. Climbing the stairs up and down and crossing the legs while sitting will also generate more pain. Besides, your movements can also get restricted due to this pain. No treatment can worsen the symptoms.

Treat hip tendinitis with the conventional methods

The conventional method of treating hip tendinitis includes the following

Activity modification,

Physiotherapy/ Physical therapy

R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation) formula,

Prescribing of analgesics, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs),

Use of corticosteroid injections.

They can help in reducing the inflammation and the pain of the tendons. However, the relief will be there only for a short time. Furthermore, prolonged use of corticosteroid injections and pain killers can cause complications like kidney problems, gastrointestinal problems, and cardiac problems. If all these treatments can’t give you long-time relief, your physician will suggest you go in for surgery as a last resort. However, by surgery, affected tissues are removed, which will lead to a comprehensive post-rehabilitation time.

How can regenerative cell therapy treat hip tendinitis?

Hip tendinitis treatment with regenerative therapy involves restoring and repairing the damaged area naturally within a short period. Regenerative cell therapy can give you a permanent solution without any complications.

This non-surgical process includes prolotherapy, cellular treatment, and P.R.P. therapy. As a patient’s regenerative stem cells are used in this therapy, there is no risk of allergy or rejection. This is a minimally invasive day-care procedure. Within two weeks of the treatment, the patients can experience a significant improvement in their hip condition. Hence, if you are looking out for an alternative to surgery, you can indeed consider our regenerative cell therapy for hip tendinitis.
