HELP! Did I permanently damage my hip joint?! please help?

Question

A few months ago, maybe 5-7 months, I was doing a straddle stretch. That's when you sit on the floor wtih your legs spread apart. I reached foward as far as I could to get a good stretch, but my dance teacher didn't think I stretched hard enough pushed me so that my stomach nearly touched the floor. She held the position and my left hip moved a bit, and huge "POP!" noise came out of my left hip.

I dont think its the bone, joint or muscle maybe? Ever since then my left leg couldn't kick as high. I felt pain whenver I stretched it. I told my teacher but she said that everyone has those pains. & I'm scared because my leg has been that way for a long time now and it hasn't healed.

Come someone please tell me whats going on? Or how I can fix this?

Thank you so much!!!

Answer 1

What you did was damaged the joint capsule and ligaments. The question is, which joint. Either your back hip, front hip, or the leg and hip joint socket. If you wish to have this fix before it gets much worse, I recommend you consult with a specially trained chiropractor who can fix hip problems. I've referred many patients to these guys with great success:
