Experiencing hip pain? There are several causes of hip pain, and it is important to find out the cause, before damage occurs.

One common type of hip pain is FemoAcetabular Impingement (FAI). It usually presents with a sharp pain in the groin with certain hip movements. The condition is caused when extra bone grows along the “ball” or “socket” aspect of the joint giving the bones an irregular shape. Because they do not fit perfectly anymore, the bones rub against softer tissue, and can cause pain, limping, stiffness, and eventually, damage to the joint capsule, which could require surgery.

The socket portion is called the acetabulum is part of the pelvis, the ball portion is the head of the femur. Each are lined with slippery cartilage and encapsulated by a softer labrum. The irregular bone growth can rub up against the labrum, causing micro tears.

The good news is that this can be diagnosed with simple orthopedic tests in the office, and possibly x-rays. Caught in time, treatment may be as simple as targeted stretches and strengthening exercises performed at home.

If you are experiencing hip pain of any kind, it is best to get evaluated as soon as possible.

I don't have any opinion on the content, just thought I would share.

For decades, I had been sleeping on whatever pillow I found at the department store. Usually, these pillows were just run-of-the-mill designs with standard qualities, but I just wasn’t getting what I really needed out of them. Every time I would sleep on my side, my head would be at a weird angle ...

Shoulder pain is a very common problem. A recent Finnish study using MRI found that 99% of adult test subjects (602 people, ages 41-76) had at least one rotator cuff abnormality. That doesn't mean they were all in pain, but it does mean that shoulder abnormalities are nearly universal after the age of 40.

In my office, I see a lot of people that have previously been diagnosed as having a "rotator cuff tendon tear", as if there is only one tendon, but as you can see in this image there are 3 distinct tendons in the rotator cuff. I often send these people out for a diagnostic ultrasound to see exactly which tendon is torn, and by how much.

These findings, help dictate whether exercise will help, or cause more damage, which is a very important thing to know.
