WHY DOES MY HIP HURT?
Your hip pain may stem from various factors, such as wear-and-tear, poor posture, injuries, or inflammation. The hip joint is a complex structure, and pinpointing the precise cause of discomfort requires careful evaluation. Common issues that lead to hip pain include arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, muscle strains, and hip fractures. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional who can assess your symptoms, perform a thorough examination, and determine the underlying cause. This will help you receive appropriate treatment and relief from your hip pain.
HOW IS HIP PAIN DIAGNOSED?
Identifying the cause of hip pain involves a comprehensive medical history review, consultation, and physical examination. Our team inquires about the pain’s location, movements that worsen it, and whether it radiates to other body parts, such as your lower back, buttocks, or thighs. During your examination, our healthcare professionals will guide you through a range of movements to assess your flexibility and joint function. If you experience pain, popping, or catching sensations during these tests, it is essential to inform them. Depending on your situation, we may also perform X-rays of your hip or refer you for an MRI to gather more information.
WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF HIP PAIN?
According to the Mayo Clinic, osteoarthritis is one of the most prevalent causes of hip pain, particularly in older adults. This degenerative condition results in inflammation of the hip joint and deterioration of the cartilage that cushions your hip bones. Over time, the pain progressively worsens, often accompanied by stiffness and a reduced range of motion in the hip. Early intervention and appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms, slow down joint degeneration, and improve overall quality of life for individuals experiencing hip pain due to osteoarthritis.
