EAGLE-VAIL, CO ALPINE CHIKOPRACTIC and Soft Tssue Diagnostic Center HIP PAIN? If you have ever had hip pain you know how agonizing it can be. Several years ago l developed hip pain without sustaining any significant trauma or injury. I received some manipulation and underwent physical therapy without seeing any improvement. I was told I had bursitis and having surgery done could correct the problem. In searching for a conservative solution, I met a sports injury specialist who was developing a dynamic new treatment f or soft tissue (muscles, tendons, etc.) injuries. This treatment is called Active Release Technique (ART). He examined my hip and found a muscle that had become so tight it created a "false hip arthritis." After three treatments, my hip pain was gone and I have been running pain free ever since. Generally, we see this very common type of muscle imbalance in runners and bikers. Over the last 16 years I have developed expertise in using ART as a treatment. If you are having hip pain, make an appointment to come and see us. By the end of your appointment, you will know what is causing your pain and also see some significant relief. One exam and treatment will tell us whether this progressive treatment of sports injuries will be a solution to your problem. Alpine Chiropractic Dr. Daniel Chesney, DC DR.
