Ayurvedic Treatment for Hip fracture

HIP FRACTURE Ayurvedic Treatment

Your doctor will diagnose your hip fracture by performing a physical examination and understanding the symptoms that you experience. Your doctor will also ask you to undergo an X-ray to confirm the diagnosis.

In some cases, when an X-ray does not clearly show signs of fracture, an MRI scan may be needed to check for a hairline fracture that gets missed.¹
