At Texas Intergrative Pain Institute we use our state-of-the-art pain management at our Houston clinic to treat severe and chronic hip, foot, and ankle pain conditions like the following:

 

Trochanteric Bursitis: Bursitis is a painful condition that involves inflamed fluid-filled sacs, called bursae, that provides cushioning around your joints, muscles, and tendons. Bursitis often develops near joints that are subject to frequent repetitive motion, and this certainly includes the busy hip joints. Dr. Brett Warfield and his team treat hip bursitis at TIPI Pain Management in Houston. Risk Factors include:

 

• Age

• Overweight

• Repetitive motion or pressure on the bursae.

• Conditions such as gout, diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis.

 

Labral Tears: Most labral tears occur from impacts incurred in auto accidents or sports, but they can also happen from sudden motions or even structural abnormalities that accelerate wear on the labrum. In many sports, sudden twisting or pivoting can overly stress the labrum and cause excessive wear and tear over time. Too much force can rip the femoral ball out of the hip socket, tearing the labrum.

If you suffer from an injury or impact to the hip that produces pain in your hip or groin that is often made worse after sitting or standing, you should see TIPI for an exam. You may also hear or feel a clicking in your hip joint or experience a locking sensation, resulting in a limited range of motion and stiffness.

​

Arthritis & Osteoarthritis: The hips are vital weight-bearing joints that withstand incredible force and wear/tear over time. These joints are also prone to develop forms of arthritis or osteoarthritis that can seriously impede your mobility and quality of life. Dr. Brett Warfield can provide an accurate diagnosis and non-invasive treatment options for hip arthritis/osteoarthritis at Texas Intergrative Pain Institute in Houston.

Achilles Tendon: This is the largest tendon in the entire body, running from your heel to your calf. It allows you to point at your toes or stand on your tiptoe. Anyone can suffer an Achilles tendon injury, not just athletes. Pain above the heel and when pushing off the foot to take a step are the most apparent symptoms of an Achilles tendon injury. TIPI Pain Management in Houston provides excellent treatment for Achilles tendon pain and other feet & ankle injuries.

​

Plantar Facia: This thick band of tissue runs between the heel and the toes to support the arch of your foot and absorbs shock when you walk or run. When this band becomes irritated, it causes pain and trouble walking. The condition is known as plantar fasciitis, and it is extremely common. Common risk factors for developing plantar fasciitis include:

 

• Age

• Obesity

• Poor foot mechanics

• Flat feet

• Non-supportive shoes

• Occupations that keep you standing for long periods

• Exercise or sports that stress the heel.

​

Morton’s Neuroma: The cause of this condition is unknown, although people engaging in running sports, snow skiing, or mountain climbing may be at a higher risk. Ladies that wear high-heeled shoes can also develop Morton’s neuroma. The foot condition can produce burning pain in the ball of the foot that radiates into the toes, as well as tingling or numbness.
