Your doctor may either recommend not to overuse your muscles or undergo surgery. Hip tendinitis indeed requires treatment; however, everyone doesn't need to opt for surgery. Our Medica Stem Cells regenerative therapy in the UK can be the best alternative to treat this condition. If you want to know-how, let us first understand the impact of tendinitis on your hip.

What is hip tendinitis?
Tendinitis affecting your hip region is otherwise called hip flexor tendonitis. It refers to the irritation of tendons present in the hip region, which leads to pain and inflammation.
The hip tendon is composed of small fibres connecting the muscles with the hip bone. As you move the leg, it is the hip tendon that will connect the muscles to the thigh bone (femur). Due to hip overuse or a severe pull on the hip tendon, you will undergo irritation, inflammation, and pain.

Causes
Totally three muscles are involved in the movement and flexibility of the hip. They include iliac muscle, gluteus medius, and psoas muscle. The iliac muscle arises from the hip bone. Psoas muscle arises from the lower spine. Gluteus medius ...
... develops into a flat tendon that extends towards the greater trochanter of the thigh bone. Both iliac and psoas muscles are involved in lifting the legs and rotate the thigh bone. When these muscles extend distally towards the lesser trochanter, hip tendinitis takes place. Similarly, overuse of the gluteus medius muscle due to excess activities causes gluteus tendinitis or tendinopathy.
This condition is prevalent in 10-25% of the overall population. It occurs more in females, compared to males, especially between the 40-60 age group. This hip disorder mostly affects people who participate in sports activities such as cycling, swimming, running, etc., where they overuse their hips.

Signs and Symptoms
In this condition, pain arises on the outer side of the hip that may radiate towards the knee. The pain worsens while lying on the affected side, climbing upstairs or downstairs, as well as crossing the legs while sitting. Moreover, this pain can restrict the range of motion. If left untreated, these symptoms may become worse.

Conventional Treatment
The conventional treatment modalities for this hip disorder includes R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation), activity modification, physiotherapy, administration of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) or analgesics, as well as the use of corticosteroid injections. They help in reducing pain and inflammation of the tendons. However, the effect will remain only for a short duration. Additionally, long term use of these painkillers and corticosteroids may cause potential complications such as cardiac, gastrointestinal, and kidney problems. Surgery will be the last resort if all the above listed conventional treatment options give insignificant outcomes. However, surgery involves the removal of affected tissue and leads to an extensive post-rehabilitation period.

Regenerative cell therapy
Regenerative therapy repairs and restores the affected region naturally, quickly, and permanently without any complications. Our non-surgical regenerative therapies include cellular treatment, PRP therapy, and prolotherapy. As these therapies involve the use of the patient's own, there is no risk of rejection or allergy. These minimally invasive day care procedures provide significant improvement within two weeks. So, you should definitely consider our regenerative therapy for hip tendinitis before opting for surgery.
