Snapping hip
Snapping hip is a condition characterized by an audible or palpable 'click' in the hip area during movement. This phenomenon often occurs due to tendons or muscles sliding over bone structures. Activities such as running and repetitive movements can contribute to the condition.
At Dr. Dropin, we have skilled practitioners who can assess your hip pain and help you receive the appropriate treatment.

- Increased flexibility: Specific stretching exercises and techniques can enhance mobility in the hip region.
