Hip Flexor Tendinitis 5.
In hip flexor tendinosis, collagen fibers within the hip flexor tendons deteriorate. This degeneration, unlike tendinitis, does not involve inflammation of the iliopsoas and rectus tendon sheaths. Tiny fractures in the tendons or tangled collagen fibers, as opposed to the normally straight collagen fibers, are indicative of tendinosis.
Common symptoms of tendinosis include joint stiffness, persistent discomfort, and restricted joint motion. Tendinosis is typically caused by overuse of the tendon or an injury resulting from trauma or a sports-related accident. Athletes and manual laborers are susceptible to tendinosis as a result of chronic tension on the hip flexor tendon sheaths. The goal of treating tendinosis of the hip flexors is to accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
Therefore, physicians recommend home remedies including rest, stretching, and tendon massage. Additionally, surgery and corticosteroid injections are employed in the treatment of hip flexor tendinosis.
