hip preservation

Hip preservation refers to a range of medical techniques and procedures aimed at maintaining the health and function of the hip joint, particularly in younger people or athletes. It involves diagnosing and treating conditions like hip impingement, labral tears, and early arthritis before they progress to severe damage. Common methods include physical therapy, minimally invasive surgeries, and the use of braces or injections. The goal is to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and prolong the natural lifespan of the hip joint, allowing individuals to remain active and engaged in their daily lives.
