Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during a hip impingement test?
During a hip impingement test, you can expect a series of movements and physical assessments to evaluate the range of motion and potential impingement in your hip joint. The test may involve bending and rotating your hip in different positions while the doctor or therapist carefully observes and assesses any pain or limitations. It is important to communicate any discomfort or pain you may experience during the test to ensure an accurate evaluation.
When is hip impingement surgery typically necessary?
Impingement surgery is typically necessary when conservative treatments fail to provide relief or improve symptoms. It is often recommended when there is persistent pain, limited range of motion, or significant functional limitations that affect daily activities. However, the need for surgery is determined on a case-by-case basis, and it is best to consult with a healthcare professional for a personalized assessment.
