Are you looking for hip pain treatment?

You’re not alone. We treat many people who feel pain or stiffness in their hips. It’s a common concern, and cases vary in severity.

Your hip is the largest ball-and-socket joint in your body. It supports your weight and helps you move your legs. We use our hips every day when we walk, sit down and exercise. So, of course, like other parts of your body, your hips are subject to wear and tear.

There are many factors that could cause hip pain. The joint is held together by tissue and ligaments, so your pain may be due to damage to the bone, tendons or cartilage. It’s hard to know what is causing the pain until you get it checked out. 

Do you have hip pain?

Hip pain varies. It may be felt as a dull ache or a sharp pain experienced intermittently. The pain can radiate to other parts of the body like your lower back, buttock, thigh or groin as well. 

Signs of hip pain:

• Pain or discomfort

• Pins and needles 

• Weakness 

• Swelling 

• Loss of movement 

• Difficulty walking 

When your hip pain has lasted longer than 24 hours and/or it’s getting in the way of walking, it’s time to get some help.
