There are many causes of hip labral tears

Hip labral tears are a commonly occurring musculoskeletal injury which can be caused by any activity that puts force onto the hip joint including strenuous sports such as soccer, football, or hockey. Repetitive movement including squatting, bending, or twisting can also lead to a tear of the labrum. In addition to high impact activities, poor posture over an extended period of time can cause the muscles surrounding the hip joint to become strained and weaken resulting in a tear of the labrum. Seeking chiropractic care and physiotherapy along with massage therapy can help provide relief from pain and increase mobility while encouraging healing.

What is a hip labral tear?

A hip labral tear is a painful, debilitating condition where the labrum around the socket of the hip joint has been torn or ripped. In some cases, a labral tear can occur from a traumatic event such as a fall or motor vehicle accident. But more often than not, it is due to repetitive strain over time combined with other conditions such as arthritis and bony irregularities in the joints. Hip labral tears can cause intense hip pain and limit mobility of the affected joint.

What are the symptoms of a hip labral tear?

Hip labral tears can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the severity and type of tear. Common symptoms include pain in the hip, groin and thigh region, ranging from mild to severe. Aching, burning or popping sensations may also be experienced when a person stands for long periods of time or performs certain activities such as running or deep squatting. Additionally, it may be difficult to move with full range of motion and difficulty walking upstairs or downstairs is common. In extreme cases there may be an inability to bear weight on the affected side without experiencing sharp pain.

What are the treatments for a hip labral tear?

Treating a hip labral tear can help reduce pain and improve mobility. Depending on the severity of the injury, chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy are common treatments that can be applied to restore range of motion. In some cases, chiropractors may use manipulation techniques to improve alignment and movement of the affected joint. Physiotherapy involves stretching and strengthening exercises to rehabilitate the injured hip muscles and tissues. Massage therapy can also be used to alleviate tightness in the surrounding muscles, helping reduce inflammation.
