Did you know that educated patients have better outcomes?
A tear in the labrum of the hip can result from traumatic injury, such as a motor vehicle accident, or from participating in sports such as football, soccer, basketball, and snow skiing. These sports are associated with sudden changes of direction and twisting movements that can cause labral tears. Repetitive movements and weight-bearing activities can also lead to joint wear and tear that can ultimately result in a hip labral tear, as can degenerative changes to the hip joint in older patients. #labraltear #hiplabraltear #education

Chronic hip pain that interferes with daily activities or seems to be worsening with time could be a symptom of a serious underlying hip condition. It may be time to visit an orthopedic hip specialist for evaluation and treatment. #jointpain #hip #hippain #hipspecialist #DrDomb #americanhipinstitute #AHI

Is My Hip Pain Serious?
For three years, Amber dealt with continuous hip pain. Her pain was regularly at a five but could often reach an eight on a scale of one to 10. Despite taking frequent breaks, the pain became so severe that Amber could no longer do leg-lifting workouts and developed a slight limp in her walk. “After my first appointment with Dr. Domb, he had a guess about what could be causing my hip pain,” said Amber. “He sent me to get an MRI and, within a week, he identified the correct diagnosis and my surgery was booked.” After five doctors and three years of continuous hip pain, Amber finally knew why she was hurting – and knowledge is power. She is now on the road to recovery, and will finally be able to get back on the basketball court without hip pain getting in her way. #comebackstory #testimonialtuesday #benjamindombmd #americanhipinstitute #AHI

Many types of underlying health issues or injuries can cause debilitating hip pain. I see patients almost every day who are looking for solutions to hip pain that is disrupting their daily lives. Two common causes of hip pain are hip dysplasia and ligament teres tears. If you have been diagnosed with either of these, you have several options for treatment. #hippain #hipdysplasia #ligamenttears #americanhipinstitute #AHI #benjamindombmd

I only wish I had come to Dr. Lall sooner — I put up with all of this pain for years for nothing! I know I’m going to need my right hip replaced as well, and this time, I’m not going to wait. At the first sign of pain, I’m getting it replaced. Thank you, Dr. Lall, for this wonderful experience! #comebackstory #hip #hippain #hipreplacement #americanhipinstitute #AHI #ajaylallmd

What Top Athletes Have to Say About the American Hip Institute. #athletes #hippain #benjamindombmd #americanhipinstitute #AHI
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint formed by the ball-shaped end of the thigh bone and the hip socket. Under normal conditions, the ‘ball’ moves smoothly within the socket, allowing a wide range of motion. Sometimes the smooth movement of the hip is prevented by a condition known as hip impingement. Here are some of the causes of hip impingement. #labraltear #hippain #hip #DrLall #americanhipinstitute #AHI

Hip pain can wake you up during the night or make it nearly impossible to fall asleep in the first place. Pain can be caused by the position you sleep in, or by something else. For example, you don’t move much during sleep, so your joints can swell, leading to stiffness and pain. Read on to learn more about what may be causing your hip pain at night, as well as how you can manage this symptom and sleep better. #hip #hippain #night #sleep

Cigarette smoking is recognized as one of the major causes of preventable disease. Most people know that smoking is linked to heart and respiratory diseases, as well as to several cancers. However, many people are not aware that smoking has a serious negative effect on bones, muscles, and joints, and that smoking often leads to poorer outcomes from orthopaedic surgery.
