Hip pain is a common problem faced by the world's population, and advances in medicine have brought significant improvements in treatment. However, longer life expectancy and greater physical activity, especially in sports, have increased the number of patients with hip problems.
Hips are crucial to our ability to move, but we often forget their importance. Hip problems often appear with age, and are especially pronounced in the elderly due to injuries or degenerative conditions.
At Dr. Nenezić's office, we notice that degenerative conditions of the hips and knees are becoming more frequent with the increase in average life expectancy. Most people over the age of 55 show signs of osteoarthritis, and the situation worsens after the age of 70. Given these trends, it is clear that most people in the 21st century will face degeneration of one or more joints.
Hip injuries and damage Hip pain can have different causes. Among the most common are: arthrosis, sprains, dysplasia, ligament disease.
Standard treatment methods in our office include physical therapy, which is key to reducing pain and improving hip functionality. The methods we use include: massage, electrotherapy, acupuncture, kinesitherapy.
We place special emphasis on regenerative PRP therapy, which uses the patient's platelet-rich plasma to treat damaged tissue. PRP therapy is a natural way to speed up the healing of injured tendons and osteoarthritis, using the body's ability to heal itself.
