Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)

We Have Expertise In: Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)

Targeted hip treatments to alleviate pain from structural impingement.

Symptoms & Causes

Typical Symptoms:

  • Hip or groin pain, especially with flexion
  • A catching or clicking sensation
  • Reduced hip range of motion

Common Causes:

  • Abnormal contact between the femoral head and acetabulum
  • Genetic bony abnormalities in the hip joint
  • Repetitive hip flexion in sports or daily activities

Treatment Options & Key Benefits

We focus on improving hip mobility, strengthening surrounding muscles (glutes, core), and retraining movement patterns to reduce impingement. Manual therapy helps mobilize joint restrictions, while exercises correct muscular imbalances. At our Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Lake Worth, and Wellington offices, we begin by analyzing how your hip moves during everyday tasks or sporting activities. Early sessions might reduce pain and inflammation through hands-on techniques and gentle stretches. Next, we add strengthening exercises targeting the hip abductors and rotators, aiming to create more space in the hip joint and reduce pinching. Through gait analysis or sport-specific drills, we optimize your movement patterns to prevent recurring irritation.

Key Benefits:

  • Reduced hip/groin pain
  • Improved hip function and flexibility
  • Prevention of further joint damage

Outcome & Recovery Timeline

Recovery timelines vary; many patients see pain reduction within 4–8 weeks of therapy. Surgical intervention may be necessary if conservative measures aren’t sufficient, but staying committed to a structured exercise plan can often delay or prevent surgery. Ongoing reassessments ensure your hip mechanics continue to improve, helping you return to running, dancing, or simply walking around town without hip pain.
