Hip Pain / Osteoarthritis symptoms
Different conditions can cause hip pain, but osteoarthritis is common. It is a degenerative joint disease when the cartilage that protects the hip joint breaks down. It can cause several problems and swelling in the hip joint.
Pain: It is one of the main symptoms of osteoarthritis. The pain may be dull or aching and may worsen during daily activities. The pain mostly happens in the groin but can radiate towards the buttock, thigh, or knee.
Stiffness: The hip joint may feel stiff, especially in the morning or after sitting for a long time. This can make it difficult to resume activities or get out of bed for walking, running or any other activity.
Reduced range of motion: If you feel you cannot move your hip joint in the full range of motion, it’s due to osteoarthritis. This can reduce bending over, squatting or swinging your leg outside.
Crepitus: It is the feeling or sound of your hip bones grinding together as you move. This is because bones are grinding against each other in the damaged joint.
Weakness: Due to pain and stiffness, the surrounding muscles around the hip joint may weaken, making it impossible to walk or ascend stairs.
How Laser Therapy Works for Hip Pain
Photobiomodulation:
Light Penetration: Laser therapy uses light sources with a narrow wavelength, ranging from red to near-infrared, which the skin and subcutaneous tissues can absorb. This deep penetration is important for treating the diseased areas around the hip joint. When light enters the tissues, it is taken up by the chromophores, especially those located in the mitochondria, the cellular powerhouses. Chromophores are molecules that absorb light and act as biological switches. The light absorption by these chromophores causes a series of biological events that increase cellular function and facilitate healing.
Cellular Stimulation:
The lasers activate the mitochondria by supplying them with the absorbed light energy. This is an important stage because mitochondria are the powerhouses involved in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cells' primary energy source. The enhanced mitochondrial activity leads to the production of more ATP. ATP is essential for many cell processes, including tissue repair and regeneration. More ATP means more energy that can be used to repair damaged tissues and regenerate them. This is especially good for the hip joint area, where tissues may be damaged due to arthritis, bursitis, or tendonitis.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects:
Our team is full of experts who know that Laser therapy also aids in inflammation by reducing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha and interleukins. These cytokines help maintain inflammation. So, we use these lasers to treat hip pain. On the other hand, laser therapy stimulates the synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-10. Such molecules assist in inflammation and create a conducive environment for healing. Our advanced laser therapy reduces the condition of the hip joint by regulating the levels of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the body. This reduction in inflammation helps manage pain.
