Understanding Hip Pain

The hip is one of the largest and most important links in the joint body, and provides support for standing, walking and walking. The ball-end planet structure allows for a wide range of speed, which is required for almost all lower edged movements. However, the complexity of the hip is also exposed to different conditions and damage.

Anatomy of the Hip Joint

  • Bones: The hip joint connects the femur (thighbone) to the pelvis, forming a stable and flexible ball-and-socket structure.
  • Cartilage: Protects the bones and reduces friction during movement.
  • Ligaments: Provide stability by connecting bones and maintaining joint integrity.
  • Muscles: Surround the hip joint and control movement, including the gluteal muscles, hip flexors, and adductors.
  • Bursa: Small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint and reduce friction.

Understanding the hip’s anatomy helps in identifying the source of pain and designing effective treatment plans.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

  • Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
  • Hip Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, causing localized pain and tenderness.
  • Labral Tears: Damage to the cartilage surrounding the hip socket, often due to repetitive motion or trauma.
  • Hip Fractures: Common in older adults due to falls or osteoporosis.
  • Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the hip, typically from overuse.
  • Muscle Strains: Overstretching or tearing of muscles, such as the hip flexors or hamstrings.
  • Sciatica: Compression of the sciatic nerve, causing pain that radiates from the lower back to the hip and leg.
  • Hip Impingement: Abnormal contact between the hip bones, leading to pain and limited range of motion.
  • Snapping Hip Syndrome: A sensation of snapping or popping during hip movement, often accompanied by discomfort.
  • Postural Issues: Poor posture or gait abnormalities that place stress on the hip joint.

At Sterling Physio, our specialists conduct a thorough assessment to diagnose the underlying cause of your hip pain and provide personalized treatment.
