Bursitis Hip

Dr. Jimerson starts each hip pain case with an evaluation of where the hip pain case actually stems from. Imbalances across the body can result in hip pain or injury. Dr. Jimerson resolved a chronic hip pain case in a runner sent by the College of Charleston whose hip pain stemmed from her shoulder issues on the opposite side. From there he typically treats affected areas with Active Release Technique, a patented scar tissue treatment that resolves adhesions in the muscles, tendons, ligaments and around nerves that cause muscle imbalances. He also utilizes his proprietary pain technique that gets rid of pain and increases range of motion in seconds. An incredibly common hip imbalance is shortened, tight and weak hip flexor muscles. Your hip flexor brings or flexes your leg up in front of you. You have 2 sets of hip flexor muscles. One attaches from your leg directly to your spine (and can cause lower back and disc injuries resultant) and the other attaches from the leg and goes directly to the front of your hip. Most of the population of Charleston (as well as the rest of the planet) has this issue due to sitting. We, as humans do tons of sitting cumulatively during the course of a day which leads to chronic imbalances of your hip. When one muscle contracts, the opposite muscle neurologically starts to relax. If being in the seated position causes our hip flexors to shorten, our butt muscles neurologically begin to relax or weaken contributing to chronic hip pain and injuries. No matter the cause or what previous treatments you’ve tried for your hip injuries in Charleston, you haven’t tried this methodology before. Over 90% of patients with chronic hip injuries reports feeling over 90% relief of their pain even after the first visit with the majority of hip injuries resolving in 4-6 visits (depending on severity of case and patient compliance with minimal effort maximum benefit home physical therapy exercises). While Dr. Jimerson has been voted best chiropractor in Charleston, he doesn’t necessarily look at things from a chiropractic perspective and thus avoids unnecessary chiropractic adjustments and x-rays. It is this methodology and his ability to look at injuries from an outside the box perspective that Charleston Orthopedic Surgeons, Physical Therapists and other Chiropractors routinely refer complex and unfixable pain cases to him.
