A common complaint, particularly among the elderly population, hip pain is caused by a variety of factors. The hip joint is the body's largest ball and socket joint and it supports a wide range of movement and weight in both static and dynamic postures. Time and excessive use can wear down the cartilage and tendons that support the hip joint which can lead to chronic pain. Other causes of hip pain include: injury, stress fractures, arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis. Chronic inflammation that leads to the degeneration of the cartilage and tendons surrounding the hip is another leading cause of chronic hip pain.
Tissue degeneration is difficult to treat - many doctors focus on symptom control rather than addressing the root cause of the pain. Chronic Pain Therapy is a new medical therapy that has been addressing both the pain and cause of chronic hip pain. The doctors of Chronic Care of Richmond are leading experts in this new integrative therapy in Richmond. With a focus on the body's natural healing capabilities, out treatment is a non-invasive therapy that can address chronic pain caused by degeneration.
Up until now, the approach to chronic hip pain has been pain medications or hip replacements. Full hip replacements are an extremely invasive surgery that require complete removal of the hip socket and bone. Recovery time can be extensive and complications are not uncommon. At Chronic Care of Richmond we believe that there is a better method to resolving hip pain and immobility. Our approach, which is based in naturopathic medicine, is a new alternative therapy that has showed promising results for hip pain management. Dr. Snyder and his medical team, including physician Dr. Peggy Maercklein, MD, are leading the field in non-invasive, drug free chronic pain therapy. If you are tired of chronic hip pain and facing the possibility of a full hip replacement, we offer an alternative therapy in Richmond that promises better outcomes. Instead of replacing your current hip, chronic pain therapy is a non-invasive way to address tissue degeneration. Our therapy supports the normal growth and regeneration of cartilage and tissue within the hip socket. Regeneration minimizes pain and allows for a normal range of movement. For an alternative therapy and a positive outcome, Chronic Care of Richmond can help.
