Heal Hip Strain with Regenerative Treatment

 Does the strain on your hip stop you from doing regular activities? Don’t let your hip strain hold you back! Medical Stem Cells Clinic in Ireland recommends regenerative therapy as the best alternative to treat hip strain.

Before knowing the importance of regenerative treatment, let us know what happens when the hip undergoes strain.


Heal Hip Strain with Regenerative Treatment


What is Hip Strain?


Hip flexor muscles are present in the front part of the hip-pelvic region. It includes iliacus muscles and psoas muscles, together called as iliopsoas muscles. The role of hip flexor muscles is to lift your knee towards your chest and bend your body from the waist. They can stretch from hip to pelvic region along the thighs. 

If these muscles around the hip area stretch beyond the limit due to their overuse, it undergoes a strain known as hip strain. This condition further leads to the tearing of the hip muscles. You will then experience pain as well as discomfort in the front part of the hip and groin. 


Hip flexor strain can range from grade-1 to grade-3. 


  • Grade-1 hip flexor strain is a minor strain that recovers within two weeks. Here, this minor fibre tear puts stress on these muscles while moving forward. Though it is a minor tear, you can still move with mild pain. This type of strain is most common among the runners. 

  • Grade-2 hip flexor strain is a moderate strain. It takes 3 to 6 weeks to heal. Here, many fibres will tear compared to grade 1. This condition leads to discomfort. This type of strain is prevalent among cyclists. It’s because they raise their thighs and knees repetitively while cycling.

  • Grade-3 hip flexor strain is the most severe and the worst type of strain. Here, the patients will face tremendous discomfort due to the complete tear of the fibres, muscles and tendons. This type of strain is prevalent among sportsmen, such as soccer, rugby, etc. The forward movement of the players and their repetitive changing directions throughout the game cause additional stress. 


Other symptoms include muscle spasms in the hip or thighs, and an inability to run, jump, or kick due to a limited range of motion.


Conventional Treatment for Hip Strain


The conventional methods for hip strain include home treatment such as R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation) therapy, physical therapy and activity modification. These methods will provide only momentary relief from the symptoms by restricting your movements. Administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroid injection is not suggested for a prolonged duration. Following these two methods for a long time may cause potential side effects such as gastrointestinal, heart and kidney problems. Corticosteroids degenerate the tendon, muscle, or ligament around the affected area where it is injected. This is where surgery comes as a last resort. But it is painful, invasive, and you may undergo post-surgical complications.


Regenerative cell therapy for hip strain


Medical Stem Cells Clinic in Ireland provide regenerative therapies, including (Platelet Rich Plasma) PRP therapy, to treat the underlying causes. These non-surgical therapies not only help with the pain but also repair the injured tissues and regenerate their functions naturally. This minimally invasive therapy can slow down the effect of ageing on cartilages, tissues, tendons and joints problems. As the sample is extracted from your own body, there is no risk of transmissible infection or allergy. This therapy is safe and natural. Hence, regenerative therapy is the best alternative to hip surgery to treat the strain.

Start running again with Regenerative Treatment for Runner’s knee

  The Knee joint is one of the most important and strongest joints of the locomotor system of the human body. The pressure experienced by the knee joint is approximately three times the body’s weight when walking and about five times the body’s weight when running. In short, a person who weighs 80 kg puts about 400kg of pressure on the knee when landing each running stride. The immense pressure experienced by the knee, especially in runners, makes the knee more prone to injury. Iliotibial or IT band syndrome, also called runner’s knee, is a common knee injury, especially in runners. It is the second most common knee injury in runners after the jumper’s knee.  What is Iliotibial or IT band syndrome or runner’s knee? The Iliotibial band, or IT band, is longitudinal fibrous support of the Fascia Lata. It is originating from the upper outer part of the hip and runs along the outside and lastly attaches to the top of the shinbone (tibia). When the knee bends, the IT band ...

Is there a best time to have Regenerative Cell Treatment? We can help with most musculoskeletal conditions for example osteoarthritis grade 1-4 of all major joints as well as back and neck. The question you might ask yourself though is when is the best time to start treatment? There are multiple factors which influence the best time to start treatment. There are 4 stages of  osteoarthritis  with grade 4 being the most severe. Unfortunately, most patients we see leave it quite late to get treated, which can affect the overall outcome. While still good results can be achieved it is best to address degeneration of a joint early, adhering to the principle that prevention is better than cure. I have had symptoms and pain for many years. Is it too late to have Regenerative Cell Treatment? H...
