Hip Pain Case Study: How to Improve for $6

Dr. Robert Barton with Peak Performance Spine & Sports Medicine in Pasadena, TX discusses a case study where the cause of a patient’s hip pain was due to a congenital long leg on the affected side.

This causes additional biomechanical stress on the long leg side and after millions of steps throughout the patient’s lifetime, this stress is likely contributed to the early wear and tear of his right hip. The initial treatment in this case was a $6.00 heal lift to correct the leg length discrepancy.

He was also prescribed a stretching routine for his muscles around the hips. If you have chronic or acute pain in your back or some other joint system and are interested in knowing the cause of this pain, come see us at Peak Performance. We are the experts in discovering and treating the cause of a person’s pain.

Basic Spinal Exercise Routine

This is a 10 exercise Basic spinal exercise routine that can be performed 3-5 times per week to help maintain core strength and flexibility. If you have any back pain with these activities, that is generally OK unless the back pain persists for longer than 15 minute following the 10 minute routine. If you have leg pain with any of the exercises, you should discontinue that activity until the cause of the leg pain is identified.

If you have back pain with the activities and you have not be evaluated biomechanically, you should see someone and be checked. You may not need to live with your back pain.
