Hip Impingement Relief In St. George, UT

Hip impingement, also known as Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI), occurs when the cartilage around the acetabulum (hip socket) becomes pinched during certain movements, like hip flexion in a deep squat. Over time, this repetitive pinching can cause irritation, cartilage damage, and even detachment.

FAI arises from a mismatch between the ball (femur) and the socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint. There are two main types of hip impingement:

  • Cam Deformity: This occurs when the head of the femur is misshapen, limiting smooth movement within the hip socket. Cam deformity is more common in young men aged 20 to 30.

  • Pincer Deformity: This happens when there is too much cartilage covering the hip socket, leading to impingement during movement. Pincer deformity is more prevalent in women in their 30s, particularly those who are hypermobile, such as ballet dancers or gymnasts.

If you suspect you may have hip impingement, it’s essential to seek professional evaluation. At Crux Sport & Spine, our chiropractors can help diagnose and treat hip impingement, offering personalized care to relieve your pain and restore mobility.
