Hip Bursitis and the Revolutionary SoftWave Therapy

Hip bursitis, a painful condition affecting a large number of individuals, involves the inflammation of the bursae in the hip. Dr. Jeff Swanson at Cedar Park Chiropractic is pioneering the use of SoftWave Therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment method that offers a superior alternative to traditional medical treatments. This blog will delve into the causes and symptoms of hip bursitis, compare traditional treatments with SoftWave Therapy, and explain why SoftWave Therapy is an exceptional choice for those suffering from this condition.

Understanding Hip Bursitis

Hip bursitis occurs when the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near joints, become inflamed. This condition is common among athletes, the elderly, and individuals with repetitive stress on the hip joints.

Causes and Symptoms

Hip bursitis is often caused by repetitive activities that overwork or irritate the hip joint. Other contributing factors can include trauma, spinal issues, rheumatoid arthritis, and leg length inequality. 

The symptoms typically include:

• Sharp or achy pain at the hip or on the outside of the thigh
• Tenderness and swelling over the hip
• Pain that worsens with prolonged activity or prolonged periods of inactivity

Traditional Medical Treatments

Traditional treatments for hip bursitis often include rest, ice, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy, and in more severe cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery. While these methods can provide relief, they often come with limitations and potential side effects.

SoftWave Therapy: A Superior, Non-Surgical Choice

SoftWave Therapy emerges as an advanced, non-surgical, and non-injection treatment option for hip bursitis. This innovative therapy harnesses the power of acoustic waves to facilitate the body's natural healing processes.

How SoftWave Therapy Works

SoftWave Therapy utilizes electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate the affected area. These waves enhance blood circulation and promote the healing of tissues by activating the body's stem cells and initiating angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels).

Advantages of SoftWave Therapy

• Non-Surgical and Non-Injection: Offering a treatment without the need for surgery or injections, SoftWave Therapy reduces the risks associated with more invasive procedures.
• Decreased Pain and Inflammation: The therapy is highly effective in alleviating the pain and inflammation characteristic of hip bursitis.
• Improved Blood Flow and Circulation: By promoting angiogenesis, SoftWave Therapy ensures improved blood flow to the affected area, crucial for healing and reducing symptoms.
• Stem Cell Activation for Repair and Regeneration: The activation of stem cells fosters the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues in the hip.
• Improved Mobility: Patients typically experience enhanced mobility and a return to normal activities with less discomfort.

Comparing SoftWave Therapy with Traditional Treatments

SoftWave Therapy offers a distinct advantage over traditional treatments for hip bursitis. Traditional methods often focus on symptom management, whereas SoftWave Therapy targets the root cause of the condition, promoting long-term healing and recovery.
