Manhattan, NYC: Relief for hip pain, arthritis pain and other forms of joint pain is now within reach.

If you’re suffering with hip pain or arthritis pain in NYC you’ve probably been managing the pain conventionally with little to no success.  In most cases this type of pain is progressive and pain meds only help to some degree – or it becomes a life long sentence of dependancy on these meds for relief.  Not only that, but with all the potential side effects and interactions you may be looking for alternative therapies that are non-surgical and non-invasive.

With osteoarthritis, arthritis pain and hip pain it is usually a matter of repetitive stress which arises as a result of poor biomechanics, structural stress and a loss of efficient movement across the joint.  When biomechanics change muscles begin to function less efficiently.  There is a transition from what’s known as a ‘high efficiency, low energy movement’ to a ‘low efficiency, high energy movement’ which increase the amount of friction across the joint surface.

If we consider arthritis pain in the knee or hip (pain) – or any joint for that matter – the body is designed to move in such a manner that minimizes the amount of stress across that joint.  The condition of the soft tissues, hydration and alignment all play an integral role in maintaining these normal movement patterns.  When there is any deviation from this ‘normal’ we see an increase in friction forces within the joint.  Friction is an inherent characteristic of motion.  Basic physics explains this.  To understand this concept better think of an icy road during winter.  If you hit the gas the wheels will simply begin to spin in place rapidly accelerating but not creating much motion.  This is because of lack of frictional forces to propel the car forward.

The same concept applies to our bodies.  There is always some amount of friciton created with normal movement but not so much so that it surpasses the body’s threshold.  Arthritis pain and hip pain, as well as other forms of joint pain, (again barring any systemic conditions such as RA) will generally result from increased friction across the joint surface and this arises due to a break down in biomechanics.  When friction increases this leads to more heat production.  The process ensues and heat will eventually lead to inflammation and inflammation = pain!

So, while taking anti-inflammatory medications will limit that last step and reduce pain, sometimes, it is a very inefficient approach to correcting the problem.  With this type of approach one can only hope to manage the pain creating a dependancy on the anti-inflammatory.  It’s always better to depend on your own bodies resources rather then an exogenous source of relief – a crutch if you will.

Locating the biomechanical source of increased friction, while also addressing the inflammation directly – through non-invasive means such as cold laser therapy and ATM2 – has lead to better outcomes in clinical practice for us.  The drugs will always be there as a last resort but if you exhaust those options prematurely you may be self limiting your options and further allowing the process to progress.

Hip pain, arthritis pain and other forms of body pain can be treated successfuly by correcting the breakdown in biomechanics, rehabilitating and reconditiong the neuromuscular system and when indicated addressing the inflammation directly and non-invasively with innovative technologies such as ATM2 and cold laser therapy.
