What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain can develop gradually or suddenly, often stemming from wear and tear, injury, or underlying issues in surrounding areas. Here’s what you need to know about hip pain and its possible causes:
- Understanding Hip Wear—Over time, cartilage can break down from age or repetitive use. Muscle or tendon injuries can also disrupt normal hip function.
- Finding the Root Cause—Inflammation and pain occur when any part of this system fails. An accurate diagnosis is essential to address the source rather than mask symptoms.
- Interconnected Pain Sources—Many patients are surprised to learn their hip pain originates in the lumbar spine. Back-related issues can refer pain directly into the hip.
- Alignment and Muscle Impact—Tight lower-back muscles can pull the hip out of alignment, creating strain. Our physicians use advanced diagnostics to pinpoint the actual cause for effective treatment.
Common Sources of Hip Pain
Many common conditions can cause persistent hip pain, so determining the underlying cause is the first step toward effective treatment. Here are a few common sources of hip pain:Arthritis and Aging
Arthritis, especially osteoarthritis, is a significant source of hip discomfort as the cartilage gradually wears away. This bone-on-bone friction leads to stiffness, aching, and increased pain during walking or standing.Stiffness Patterns
Many patients notice their hips feel especially tight in the morning. The stiffness may ease with movement, but often returns as the day progresses.Hip Flexor Strain
Tight or overworked hip flexors affect runners, cyclists, and those who sit for long periods. Everyday movements can become painful when these muscles strain.Targeted Relief
Understanding how these mechanics interact allows us to treat the right tissues. This knowledge ensures healing rather than simply masking discomfort.Frequently Asked Questions About Hip Pain
