Chiropractor In Las Vegas Assists In Helping Locals Get Hip Pain Relief

By Earlene Silversmith


Because the hip is one of only two ball and socket joints in the human body it has the capacity for a broad range of motion. Because it is also weight bearing, the hip has a complex network of tendons, ligaments and muscles. Pain in this area can be mild to debilitating. If you are suffering from hip pain, there is a Las Vegas chiropractic office where you can get relief.

Often people do not even know when an injury occurred. Yet even a minor injury, a micro trauma, can develop into a serious issue. Whenever soft tissue sustains an injury, scar tissue develops to fill the affected area. Scar tissue can spread to surrounding tissue because it has the ability to branch out in all directions at once. Adhesions develop that can restrict the flexibility of the affected soft tissue. When this happens, pain is the symptom.

Las Vegas chiropractors use various methods to help their patients find relief. Traditional chiropractic methodologies include ultrasound, stretching exercises, ice, heat and chiropractic adjustments. Each patient is different and often a combination of these methods is successful.

The traditional methods may not break up the adhesions. But a recently developed and patented methodology called Active Release Technique, ART, includes direct massaging of the areas affected with adhesions by the experienced hands of your Las Vegas chiropractor. ART has the capability of actually breaking up the scar tissue and adhesions.

The first part of ART is for the doctor to locate the adhesions or scar tissue in the hip area. He can actually feel the tension and tightness in the affected areas. Once located, there are a series of ART massage movements that work on breaking up the adhesions. This allows for the return of flexibility and the elimination of pain.

It is good for patients to know that hip pain is not necessarily an indication for surgery. In fact, surgery should be your last resort. The combination of regular chiropractic visits and ART frequently resolves the problem and relieves the pain. Consult your chiropractor and he will determine the best course of action for your needs.
