(M76.1) Psoas tendinitis

Psoas tendinitis is an overuse injury caused by repetitive strain on the psoas muscle and tendon, which is located in the lower back and hip. it is usually caused by activities that involve repetitive hip flexion, such as running, jumping, and cycling. symptoms include pain in the lower back and hip, stiffness, and difficulty moving the hip joint. treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, and medications to reduce inflammation.

Psoas tendinitis is an inflammation of the psoas tendon, a thick band of tissue that connects the muscles of the hip and lower back to the upper thigh bone. it is often caused by overuse of the muscle, such as repetitive activities that involve bending, lifting, and twisting. this can lead to micro-trauma in the tendon, resulting in inflammation, swelling, and pain. other possible causes include direct trauma, infection, or underlying conditions such as arthritis.

Main Goal: To reduce inflammation and pain while restoring normal range of motion of the affected area.

• Rest the affected area
• Apply ice or cold packs to the affected area
• Take anti-inflammatory medications
• Perform stretching exercises
• Perform strengthening exercises
• Use a foam roller to massage the affected area
• Undergo physical therapy sessions
• Use a brace or wrap to support the affected area
• Undergo shockwave therapy
• Undergo ultrasound therapy
• Undergo dry needling therapy

Psoas tendinitis can be prevented by maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding repetitive activities that require heavy lifting, stretching and strengthening the muscles in the hip and core, and avoiding activities that cause sudden or excessive strain on the psoas muscle. additionally, proper warm-up and cool-down exercises can help reduce the risk of injury.
