Arthritis and Hip Pain Relief Center of Manhattan, NYC:
Dr. Noam Sadovnik, a NYC Chiropractor, provides state of the art Cold Laser Therapy using the industry best Irradia super-pulsed 904nm cold laser. If you’re suffering with hip pain or any form of arthritic pain relief is now possible without resorting to invasive hip replacement or becoming dependant on drugs to manage your pain.
Cold laser therapy is completely non-invasive and pain free. Cold laser therapy has been shown to dramatically reduce inflammation, alleviate pain and significantly speed up tissue healing time. Arthritis and Hip Pain are extremely common and painful conditions and we see them present to our office very commonly.
In the following picture we see a normal hip joint that is free of any arthritic or degenerative changes. The acetabulum, or socket, is clear and round as is the femoral head. This ball and socket joint allows for a wide range of motion and is responsible for bearing the weight of the pelvis and the legs.
If this joint begins to lose stability, as with any joint, the amount of friction produced every time you walk increases. Over time this can lead to degernative change known as osteoarthritis with usually results from repetitive stress. If the biomechanics are not corrected this process will continue to wear down the joint surfaces.
In this picture we see a hip joint that’s been affected with arthritis. As you can see from the image when arthritis progresses it begins to errode the joint surface, wear down the cartilage and deminish the joint space. This is like your joints rusting away. The weight bearing surfaces of the joint become rough and easily irriated upon movement across that jont surface. If you try to engage or stabilize that joint by contracting muscles that act across it it will ilicit pain upon movement.
If the arthritis is bad enough it will cause pain even at rest. Alleviating the pain and inflammation is done very quickly and efficiently with cold laser therapy in our Manhattan, New York City office.
However, if their are biomechanical issues that are contributing to this mechanical breakdown as in osteoarthritis it’s imperitive that they be corrected otherwise the inflammatory process will begin again.
If you’re suffering with hip pain or arthritis related pain in the Manhattan NYC area I invite you to contact our office to determine if you may benefit from cold laser therapy.
