About Hip Muscle Strain

A hip muscle strain is a common orthopedic injury involving the stretching or tearing of muscles or tendons around the hip joint, such as the hip flexors, adductors, or gluteals. This procedure, managed by an orthopedic specialist, focuses on accurate diagnosis and a structured treatment plan to restore function and alleviate pain. Treatment is typically non-surgical, emphasizing the RICE protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation), physical therapy, and activity modification. In severe, chronic cases, advanced interventions like corticosteroid injections or, very rarely, surgical repair may be considered. The goal is to promote optimal healing, prevent re-injury, and ensure a safe return to daily activities and sports.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
