Introduction to Hip Pain Treatment
The hip is a major weight bearing joint responsible for daily activities like walking, running, climbing stairs, and going from sitting to standing up. If you are experiencing hip pain then it might be limiting you from performing these activities. Hip pain is often spinal pain that refers into the hip, or local muscles and not the ball and socket joint. Arthritis, injuries, and pinched nerves can sometimes be the cause of hip pain. The good news is that it can be effectively treated with physical therapy.
Hip Pain Facts
- The hip is a ball and socket joint that is supported by numerous ligaments for stability and many muscles are required to help the joint move.
- Hip pain that can be felt on the outside portion of your hip, your upper thigh, and buttocks. This pain may be due to joint, ligament, muscle, and soft tissue problems.
