Vibrotherapy – an effective method to combat hip pain
Vibrotherapy is an effective support in rehabilitation and recovery of hip joints for various types of injuries.
How does it work?
Vibrotherapy raises the pain threshold by stimulating pain receptors; improves blood circulation - it affects vasodilation, regulating blood pressure; improves lymph circulation; promotes inflammation relief; relaxes and strengthens muscles. These mechanisms are responsible for the therapeutic effect in treating hip pain.
When and for whom?
Risk factors include overweight, mechanical factors (such as work or sports), postural defects, metabolic and endocrine diseases. Often hip pain is caused by lesions in the sacro-lumbar spine or sacroiliac joints. Vibrotherapy here can be a complementary or stand-alone therapy, depending on the cause of the pain, and is directed at people of all ages, both those with reduced physical activity and professional athletes.
Effectiveness
A 6-week vibrotherapy treatments, plus hip and knee strengthening, improve the performance of the medial vastus muscle of the thigh and have the effect of maintaining long-term pain relief to a much greater extent than hip and knee strengthening alone.

Hip pain
Statistics show that 60% of the population over 65 suffers from widespread degenerative changes. Mobility becomes difficult and hip pain spreads to the back, lower abdomen, to the entire pelvic girdle. It is often described as hip pain radiating to the leg, or radiating to the calf. The patient's first goal is to get rid of it at all costs.
Vibrotherapy for hip pain
Vibration therapy uses low-frequency vibration to treat pain. Massage with devices such as the Vitberg RS2 helps improve hip joint function and increase mobility. It is a method that supports other forms of therapy, including physical exercise or to promote muscle strength in people who cannot perform traditional exercises. As an added bonus, cellulite can be reduced, skin tone improved and hip circumference reduced. But, most importantly, with systematic treatments, you can experience noticeable pain relief.
Important treatments to help reduce hip pain
Therapeutic management, as applied to musculoskeletal diseases, is the elimination of risk factors such as overweight and obesity, and the prevention of falls and injuries through physical exercises that strengthen muscle strength, preventing restrictions in the range of motion in the joints. The treatment process is complemented by individualized physical therapy that takes into account the patient's needs. The direct analgesic effect of physical and balneological treatments is due to their effect on the nervous system. Painful sensations are reduced by improving blood circulation in the treated area, stimulating the secretion of compounds with analgesic effects, and reducing excessive tension in the muscles and ligament apparatus.
