Treat Hip Osteoarthritis and Piriformis Syndrome without Surgery

Rob is in his mid seventies and has severe restriction of mobility through both hip joints.  He reports bilateral hip pain with radiation down the lateral thighs to the knee, the right side being most affected.  He reports left side hip replacement five years ago due to severe osteoarthritis in the joint.  Unfortunately, he continues to experience pain even after the operation.  The osteoarthritis in the right hip has continued to progress and the hip is now extremely painful.
 
Upon examination there is severe hip tightness with hardening of the muscle and connective tissue surrounding the hip joint involving the Piriformis muscles bilaterally creating Piriformis Syndrome.  Rob is very concerned about the pain and the progression of osteoarthritis on the right side and wants to prevent another hip replacement.
 
Therapy was started and he noticed easing of symptoms within the first week.  His left side (with the hip replacement) is responding especially well with much more mobility and much less pain.  Two weeks into therapy, he is able to walk much easier with significantly less pain and stiffness.
 
Conclusion:  Rob is now just starting the third week of treatment and is progressing very well. He is expected to continue to progress in the following weeks and his overall
prognosis is excellent with continued therapy.
 
Hip Pain Treatment by Dr. Ronald Mullen
 
Hip pain is usually associated with medical conditions such as hip osteoarthritis and/or Pirifomis syndrome.  Patients usually also experience hip stiffness, cold hip and cold leg.  Those sufferings usually also lead to difficulty to fall in sleep.  Many patients with hip osteoarthritis choose hip replacement surgery to resolve hip pain.  The surgery may eliminate the pain, but other associated symptoms may persist.  
Based on my clinical experience, I have found that the hip pain can be treated without surgery.  In my opinion, the key issue in treating hip pain is to address the root cause which may be a compromised blood circulation in the hip area.  Successfully resolving the restricted blood circulation to the hip area is the key to my clinical success.
1) Mild and moderate hip pain:
Within two weeks of the treatment, patients can experience the change to the hip from cold to warm, from stiff to soft and from pain to pain free. Patients should experience improvement from the start of treatment.
2) Chronic hip pain or hip pain in severe condition:
Patients with this condition have already passed the acute stage of pain. Their hip pains have become dull/numb pains. During the initial 2-3 weeks of treatment, patients will experience their dull/numb pains changing to a sharp pain, which is due to the temporal reversal of the initial disease progression. In other words, patients may report their hip pain has become more intense, or that their hip pains are worsening. As treatment continues, the pain starts to subside and eventually disappear.
