RELIEVING HIP, KNEE AND LEG PAIN You Don' t Need To Suffer Any Longer!

Your hip, knee and lower leg are tough—but injuries happen. Your hips and knees are your largest joints, supporting your body’s weight. They work in close coordination, giving us the mobility we need. Between arthritis, injuries and age, however, pain can flare up. If you’re experiencing hip, knee or leg pain, call us to schedule a closer look. Before you do, however, let’s examine the pain itself. What Causes Hip, Knee and Leg Pain? Hip, knee and leg pain are surprisingly common.Thus, their source can come from a variety of things. If you’re experiencing pain in any part of your leg, pinpointing the exact spot can help you determine the cause. Mayo Clinic has pinpointed several leading causes of hip, knee and leg pain. While many causes exist, the most likely are:

In some cases, limited blood flowmay cause bone tissue death, or necrosis. If you’re experiencing redness, inflammation and immobilized joints, the condition may be severe. What Are the Symptoms? While leg pain is noticeable by a slew of symptoms, several stick out. Aching or stiffness around the hip, groin, back or thigh may be a sign of deeper problems. A decreased range of motion, too, is a sign of deeper problems which may later result in hip, knee or leg pain. Sometimes, inactivity can contribute to immobility—and later pain. If you’re limping, lurching or are experiencing bad balance, contact a physician. While some hip, knee and leg pains go away, those lasting longer than several months may be hinting at a deeper issue. Whether you have hurt your knee, hips or legs or have been suffering for a long time, seeing a physical therapist at Nova Rehabilitation can help you return to a more active and pain-free life.

• Arthritis • Dislocation • Hip fracture

• Sprains and strains • Tendinitis • Pinched nerves

• Osteoporosis • Cancer

While some causes are more severe than others, a physician can identify each. As the body ages, joints become inflamed. Cartilage may wear down, reducing the “buffer” between bones.

HOWPHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP In many cases, physical therapy can help patients increase leg mobility. In doing so, they can stretch, flex and strengthen the muscles responsible for support. If a joint appears deformed, or if sudden swelling occurs, contact a physician immediately. A good physical therapy program can assist with post-operation treatment, too. If you’ve undergone treatment for osteoporosis, dislocation or a fracture, your therapist can help you reclaim full mobility—and a healthy lifestyle. From start to finish, we’re dedicated to your ongoing wellness. On every level, physical therapy serves to enhance the patient’s quality of life.

Fruit Sparklers Recipe

INGREDIENTS

Strengthens Hips

• 1 whole watermelon • 16 ounces fresh blueberries • Bamboo skewers

HIP HIKES While standing up on a step, lower one leg downward towards the floor by tilting your pelvis to the side. Then return the pelvis/leg back to a leveled position.

Directions Cut watermelon vertically into 1 inch thick slices. Use a small star cookie cutter to cut out star shapes from the flesh of each watermelon round. Thread 7-10 blueberries into the center of each bamboo skewer, leaving enough space at the end for someone to be able to comfortably hold it, and a space at the top for the watermelon star. Place the watermelon star on top and set the fruit sparklers on a serving tray. Cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

“I recently developed plantar fasciitis. Very painful! The pain just never lets up. After seeing my podiatrist, he gave me two options, extremely painful shots in my heel, or physical therapy. Of course I chose PT :) He referred me to Mr. Vinod. Mr. Vinod really listened to my issue, and spent the time to do what worked for my rehabilitation. He was caring and thoughtful, and even more importantly, knew what to do to ease my pain. He gave me advice on what activities to do/not do to speed the healing process. Within a week the pain had let up quite a bit. He knows his business. I would recommend him to anyone!” Debra C, Ashburn,VA “I would recommend him to anyone!” 5 4 5 2 7 2 3 8 6 4 2 1 7 9 5 7 3 2 1 4 5 8 9 4 7 8 2
