Hip and Knee Pain Relief McAllen, TX
Home » What We Treat » Hip and Knee Pain Relief

Hip and Knee Pain Relief

Sabrina D.

Before coming to Pure it was hard to sit for long periods of time which made it very difficult to study for school. After working with Richard I feel so much better! The pain in my hip and back is gone and I don’t have to worry about it interfering with my daily routine anymore.

Maria N.

I’ve had knee pain for over 20 years but since therapy here, it is manageable. The therapists and assistance made sure to tweak my therapy to find what worked best. Not only did all the staff work well together but they made me feel comfortable enough to express my pain levels and experience/limitations.

Briseyda V.

Coming into Pure Physical Therapy for the second time due to my second knee surgery I knew the huge challenge I had ahead of me. The main thing I was afraid to tear was my ACL, and it so happened I tore it during my basketball game. I would always come into therapy crying since I wanted to be back on the court. I had a dream of playing college basketball, and when I wanted to give up, the wonderful people at Pure Physical Therapy made me see otherwise. They never let me give up and they’re a big reason I will be playing college basketball at Houston-Tillotsan university in Austin, TX.

Michael C.

Prior to visiting Pure PT I was suffering from steady low pelvic pain in both hips and upper leg muscles. After working with Dr. Garza and the other PTs for 8-10 visits the tightness and pain subsided, and I was able to enjoy normal physical activities, golfing, walking, and biking essentially pain-free.

Hugo G.

I got hit by a car while riding my bike. The whole right side of my body hurt including my back, hip joint, shoulder etc. Even sitting for a few minutes hurt. Little by little Richard, Frank and Amy started chipping away at the pain until I was able to resume my active lifestyle. Now I’m training for a half marathon in March and hopefully a full marathon in June. These therapists are awesome!

Jose U.

Coming to physical therapy was one of the best things I could have done for my health. Before coming I couldn’t do much, walking and sitting was a pain. Once I started with physical therapy everything began to change. As a college student this became very helpful because now I was able to sit throughout the whole lecture without having to get up and walk to tone down the pain. I’m glad I was appointed to this clinic rather than another.

Frank E.

MRI showed I had a meniscus tear on my right knee – excruciating pain. My doctor recommended physical therapy. I had previously experienced the great work Frank and Amy and their employees did on a prior condition so coming back to Pure was a no brainer. I am a frequent walker and on day one Frank told me I would be walking again within a short period of time. At that time I could not see how. Well I am walking again pain-free.

Anon

On December 8th, I was involved in a serious accident that left multiple fractures to my pelvis and deep scar tissue to my right thigh. I was in bed visit rest for three months. I was worried that the muscles in my leg wouldn’t regain the strength they had. We came into Pure Physical Therapy and spoke to Mr. Frank Garza. After the evaluation, Mr. Garza asked what I expected out of PT. I told him, “to go back to using my leg, back at 100%,” he looked at me and said, “let’s do it then” with a nod of confidence. They gave me the push I needed to walk again.

Gumesindo G.

I came here because I have a slap injury on my left shoulder and right knee, needless to say I suffered pain on both. My main concern was my shoulder, I had trouble sleeping and in constant pain. Well after twice a week therapy for two months I can honestly say my pain level went from sometimes 10 to about 6, it is now between 2-0. Doctors had told me I needed surgery so I’m glad I saw Frank Garza on Facebook even at my worst level of pain after therapy I can tolerate the low level of pain without medication.

Denise H.

When I met Frank I had extreme pain in my lower back, tight hips along with lower sciatica nerve pain. Just after two sessions I felt huge shifts physically and energetically. Unlike most physical therapists I have been to in the past Frank did a lot more work with me both hands on and with the exercises he taught me. If you are more comfortable being treated by a female practitioner Frank’s wife Amy is also a PT. She provided me with massage therapy and gave me some insight on my condition along with some yoga exercises.I was in a lot of pain and now I have Zero pain!!

William T.

When I first came here I needed the support of the stabilizer staff. My legs and back were so frozen up I barely could walk with much difficulty for sure. I now can walk with confidence and can go most places without my stabilizer staff on my walker and for all this improvement.

Alfred S.

At my age I only have a few more goals left in my bucket lest. One of these is to ride a bicycle and complete a 100 mile tour in one day. Five months ago I had a complete knee replacement and after completing the mandatory recuperation program I realized I still had a ways to go before I had the base I needed to feel confident and safe on a road bicycle. After the doctors release I immediately joined Pure and the past three months here taught me how to walk and exercise without pain. I feel better than I’ve felt in years, and think my base is much stronger and ready to build on for meeting my goal.

Peter A.

I arrived having sustained an inner thigh strain and was experiencing pain in my hip/thigh/groin. I was severely restrained in flexibility and having no ability to continue my daily running regime. After my first two treatments my hip/groin problem was starting to diminish to the point where on my third visit I was back on a treadmill doing walk/run periods.

Gonzalo B.

When I first came here I had trouble standing and walking. The variety of exercises have had an effect on my overall being. The stretches have strengthened my knees to the point that I can stand for a while longer. My walking has improved somewhat and I don’t feel as wobbly as I used to.

Esequiel B.

Before I was assigned therapy, I couldn’t go up the stairs at church without extreme pain in my left knee. I did not have a lot of mobility in my knee. After coming to Pure Physical Therapy and going through all exercises and routines I was able to gain more mobility, go up the stairs, and be pain-free.

Shirley H.

I am very pleased with the care I have received from all the staff. I feel I am stronger in my midsection and legs. I have less pain with walking.

Yulissa H.

When I first came here last year, I tore my right ACL , this time I tore my left. I choose Pure Physical Therapy again because they really care about their patients and do such amazing jobs. This year, they have helped me get back to running, jumping, and cutting side to side.

Adalberto A.

Frank and staff of physical therapy I'm glad I came to them, altogether did a wonderful work on my body. I had a terrible time to walk normally, but Frank and the rest of his staff got me going.

David V.

Pure physical therapy is the main reason I was able to get to normal life status. After having complete knee surgery they took me in and started the process from being in a wheelchair to walking again.

Charles M.

Upon starting therapy as a result of a tumor in my spinal cord, I could not lift my leg and had pain in my left side. After a few treatments, my pain has been reduced and I am able to lift my leg a little more. Now after several more treatments, I can walk better and my pain and tightness in my left side as been greatly reduced. I am now able to get around more easily and do things before I was unable to do.

Elaine W.

My time here at Pure Physical Therapy has been very productive in giving me more mobility and lessening my hip pain, as I wait for my total hip replacement.

Yolanda G.

When I found Frank and Pure Physical Therapy I was recovering from a broken knee. I arrived walking with a walker and not being able to bend my knee very much because of pain and stiffness. I began treatment and exercises and was able to begin walking with a cane. It was a long journey of treatment and exercises following two knee surgeries but with the help of everyone here at Pure I have come a long way and am able to walk, kneel, and even jog a little bit.

Donald S.

I came here with a bad right shoulder and sore legs with two bad knees. Since treatment the shoulder has greatly improved to the point I am golfing again with very little limits on my shoulder. My legs have also improved. They have gained strength and I am more steady than before.

Cindy P.

When I started at Pure Therapy I was experiencing pain from scoliosis and nerve pain from pinched nerves and 4 herniations in my lower back. I walked crooked and had developed a large knot in my right hip area due to the scoliosis. It wasn’t long before the knot on my hip was gone, and I was walking better. They also spent many hours working on my nerve pain issues, stretching my tight muscles and trying different techniques to help me improve.

Hip and Knee Pain Slowing You Down? Get Moving Again With Physical Therapy

Don’t Let Your Hip and Knee Pains Control Your Life Anymore!

How is hip and knee pain related?

Hip and knee pains can be experienced together or separately, but it is important to note that as the old saying goes, your knee bone is connected to your hip bone, therefore what happens with one, affects the other.

Your hips and knees are part of the same kinetic chain, meaning they make up a combination of weight-bearing joints that must function together in harmony in order for your body and posture to function properly. Pain felt in the hips and/or knees may originate in the joints themselves, but it may also be a result of an underlying condition in another part of the body.

Your hip is a ball-and-socket joint that works to support the weight of your upper body, relying on multiple muscles and tissues to keep it mobile and stable so it can function properly.

Your knee is a hinge joint, confined to forward-and-backward motions. Individually, your knees support more weight than the hips, 6 times your body weight when doing a squat. Proper movement of both your hips and knees allows complicated motions giving you the ability to stand, walk, run, and dance without falling over.

Therefore, a problem with your knee joint may transmit abnormal forces to your hips, and vice versa. If one part of the kinetic chain is out of balance, stress and deterioration may be placed on another.

Common causes of hip and knee pain

Many times, the hips and knees suffer the same diseases, disorders, and injuries. For example, overuse injuries such as tendinitis and chronic muscle strain are common in both the hips and knees because both joints are constantly in use. They are also both subject to acute injuries, such as sprains, strains, and dislocation.

Hip and knee pain can also be affected by pain that is referred from a pinched sciatic nerve, as the nerve travels through both areas. Imbalances in your stance or gait may cause abnormal stresses and premature wear-and-tear in your hips and knees, resulting in painful symptoms or arthritis.

Some painful conditions may be specific to one joint or the other. Cartilage injuries known as labral tears are specific to hip pain, while inflammation of the bursa sacs known as bursitis is a specific condition affecting the knee joint.

However, painful injuries that cause instability in the hips can also affect the knees. Tight hip flexor muscles and weak gluteus medius muscles can cause the hip to rotate inward without you realizing it. This can cause painful problems such as iliotibial band friction syndrome or patellofemoral stress syndrome, as stress is put on the knee or kneecap.

The best way to know the true reason behind your hip or knee pain is to see a licensed physical therapist for a thorough evaluation of your condition.

How can physical therapy help my hip/knee pain?

Physical therapy treatments at Pure Physical Therapy & Pilates can help to greatly reduce your hip and knee pain. In many cases, our physical therapist can even relieve your pain altogether, sparing you the need for potentially harmful medication or surgical correction.

Our McAllen, TX physical therapists will examine your hip and/or knee for signs of misalignment or structural damage, in addition to examining your stance, posture, gait, and range of motion.

After your physical exam is complete, our physical therapists will prescribe a physical therapy treatment plan for you, aimed at relieving unnatural stresses and strains. They will also focus on normalizing your joint function so you can get back to living life comfortably.

You will be given targeted exercises designed for relieving joint pain and stabilizing the weak hip and/or knee tissues. The exercises may vary depending on your condition; for example, research has demonstrated that those suffering from patella pain (kneecap pain) tend to respond better to exercises that focus on strengthening both the hips and knees, rather than just focusing on the knees alone.

You may also be given core strengthening exercises that can also improve your back muscle groups, lower abdominal muscle groups, or pelvic muscles. Core exercises are aimed at straightening your posture and equalizing the weight load on both sides of your body.

Additional specialized treatments may also be added as our physical therapists deem fit, such as mobilizations to improve joint movement or other soft tissue treatments that relieve pain and promote the healing of damaged hip and/or knee tissues.
