ReplyDeleteIt is a fact that the hip joint is meant to bear repetitive motion and a reasonable amount of deterioration. Three main factors contribute to hip pain: osteoarthritis, overuse injuries, and congenital conditions. If you're experiencing hip pain that's negatively impacting your overall quality of life or ability to participate in certain activities, do consider stem cell therapy NYC for getting relief from hip pain effectively.
