Common causes of hip pain?

Our body parts work together to ensure we’re able to move freely. If any part of the system is not functioning properly, it can affect other body regions. Our hips are no exception. Problems with the feet, knees, or spine can contribute to difficulties in the hip.

Here are some common causes of hip pain or dysfunction:

  • Misaligned posture
  • Abnormal gait
  • Injury or restrictions to the hip flexor muscles
  • Weak gluteus muscles
  • Pinched sciatic nerve

Some injuries lead to hip pain, including:

  • Acute injuries (i.e., sprains, strains, and fractures)
  • Cartilage tears/labral tears
  • Overuse injuries (tendinitis)
  • Degenerative changes and arthritis

The best way to determine the actual cause of your hip pain is to see our licensed physical therapist for a thorough evaluation. Make an appointment at MMA & Sports Rehab today!

True hip pain relief in Arlington, VA

hip-pain-relief-MMA-&-Sports-Rehab-Arlington-VA

Physical therapy can help you find the source of your hip discomfort safely and effectively. Physical therapy gives patients the knowledge and resources they need to deal with their discomfort and find lasting relief.

First, a licensed physical therapist from MMA & Sports Rehab in Arlington, VA will conduct a thorough history that includes the nature of the pain, weakness, and functional limitations, as well as all relevant health and medical history.

Next, they will examine your hips to identify structural damage or evidence of misalignment. Additionally, your physical therapist will evaluate your gait, posture, balance, and range of motion.

After completing the comprehensive evaluation, we will create a customized treatment plan for you. Often targeted manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilizations and specific exercises and stretches, are given to patients to alleviate joint pain and increase mobility.

Physical therapy will include muscle-strengthening exercises in your treatment plan. In addition, instruction and corrections to your posture help you distribute your weight more evenly to ensure you restore your function fully.

These techniques enhance movement, providing the right environment for injured tissues to repair and alleviate hip pain. You’ll be back to your favorite hobbies in no time, with more mobility, strength, and less discomfort!

Check Out What Our Patients Have To Say About Their Experience

I came to him after a grade 2 tear of my MCL. I never had a knee injury to this extent before so I was apprehensive and anxious. No BS here. “Oh you’re hurt. Let’s figure it out and get you back at it.” Over the course of these past couple of weeks, Dr. Ujjwal helped me regain range of motion, strength, and confidence in my injured knee through an exercise regimen that gradually increased in difficulty and intensity. One of the most interesting aspects of my rehab program was Dr. Ujjwal’s use of the Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) machine. Thanks in no small part to this nifty thing, I’m back on the mats after only about five weeks with Dr. Ujjwal (my orthopedist initially ballparked me for eight weeks).
– Daniel | Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Dr. Ujjwal Shakya was very highly recommended by my physical therapist in Texas when I moved to the area. I had been in PT for over a year to improve strength and pain following a second ACL reconstruction. Ujjwal is the platinum of physical therapists…not just 14 kt gold. I was able to complete my rehab for the ACL with Ujjwal in a very short period of time. The other thing I should note is….I drive an hour+ to see him. Well worth it!

– Jan V.

I’d been going for therapy elsewhere but it hadn’t really helped long term…I’d feel better that day, then as soon as I’d train, my hip would be painful immediately after.

– Jen G.

In my many years as an athlete, I can say with confidence that my rehab and treatment with Ujjwal was the best sports medicine experience I have ever had. I rehabbed with Ujjwal for 2-3 months after surgery and made fantastic progress thanks to his knowledge of the body, his ability to provide exercise guidance (and not just the usual run of the mill PT exercises), and a great training regimen. I was impressed by Ujjwal’s compassion, attentiveness, and his willingness to answer any questions or concerns. I highly recommend him to anybody who wants attentive therapy and rehabilitation.

– Dylan R.

Dr. Ujjwal’s method of re-evaluating your progress at intervals helped uncover a torn labrum (pretty badly I might add) in my right hip when I was taking longer than expected to recover.

– Mel C.

I was very impressed with the services provided by Dr. Ujjwal Shakya at MMA & Sports Rehab. I tore my hamstring and had to find physical therapy fast.

– L.H.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Dr. Ujjwal. I have had knee issues since 2009 and have gone through dozens of physical therapists and undergone various treatments. 8 years and three surgeries later and I have finally found a physical therapist who actually cares about my well-being. He is the first physical therapist to truly track my health and progress, and not just physically but holistically. I would recommend anyone to him. He is flexible, accommodating, brilliant, and most importantly, effective!

– Margot D.

Dr. Ujjwal is an amazing doctor; after struggling with hip problems for about 5 years I finally feel like I can really do the things I love again thanks to Dr. Ujjwal.

– Kristina J.

Dr. Ujjwal, Jaime, and the staff do a great job making you feel comfortable in the PT setting. After my hip surgery, they helped to relieve a lot of the pain.

– Adam D.

The doctor and his staff are so professional at MMA, and EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE on how to best help me recover. I was so impressed. I had a ski accident on March 27th where I tore my ACL, MCL, sustained a meniscus debridement and fractured my tibia. I highly recommend them.

– Angela P.

This place is awesome!!! Personalized attention!!! Small shop so everyone there knows all the clients by name and really care about your progress towards being pain-free and back to full physical health. I highly recommend!!!

– Leisl L.

– David E. | MMA Athlete

MMA & Sports Rehab helped me recover after a knee surgery. Dr. Shakya is very knowledgeable and was able to help me recover in a matter of 6 weeks.

– Dimitri D.

Been going to MMA Sports Rehab since about April for a combination of knee, lower back, shoulder and TMJ issues.

– Jason H. | MMA Athlete

Through manual physical therapy, strengthening, and education, I have seen some improvement and am optimistic about my future. Dr. Shakya was very understanding of work/life issues and other health issues that made it difficult for me to consistently give 100%, but he met me at my level.

– Theresa E.

I currently play for DC United’s Youth Academy and had strained my right hip flexor during a match. Dr. Shakya has helped to alleviate the pain in my hip and has also provided me with exercises to help strengthen the area to prevent future injury. Thanks to Dr. Shakya I have gotten back to full fitness faster than I originally had thought possible.
