Your Michigan Answer for Hip Injuries
Hip injuries are increasingly recognized in athletes, especially those involved in sports that involve running, cutting, pivoting or explosive movement, such as soccer, hockey, football, track and field, equestrian sports and dance. Because hip pain can develop gradually, injuries are often overlooked until they begin to limit performance.
Certain hip conditions are more common in younger athletes, while others may affect endurance athletes or those with biomechanical imbalances. Early diagnosis is key to preventing long-term joint damage and prolonged time away from the sport.
Your U-M Health Sports Medicine team focuses on identifying underlying movement patterns and performance factors that contribute to hip pain or injury and.takes care to use the best combination of treatments to help you safely get back into your game.
