Common Forms of Hip Pain

Hip Osteoarthritis

This common source of pain in the hip is a degenerative condition, hence the association with advanced age. Degradation to the cartilage that cushions your hip joint results in pain, stiffness and can have a very significant impact on your quality of life without adequate physio treatment and therapy. You will experience a deep ache and limited range of motion may also lead to reduced sleep and level of activity. This pain usually gets progressively worse to the point where simple, everyday tasks like putting your socks on becomes difficult.

Hip Injury

Your sport or activity may have resulted in direct injury to the muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues that surround your hip joint. More common hip injuries include hip fracture, hip labral tear, and inguinal hernia. After being assessed in the emergency room and/or by your physician, it is absolutely essential that you follow up with one of our clinics for additional diagnosis and a dedicated therapeutic regime so you can regain proper hip function and reduce the risk of creating further long term problems.

Soft Tissue Pain and Referred Pain

An injury or dysfunction away from your hip may be sending referred pain to the hip. For example, low back dysfunction is a common contributor to bilateral pain. Diagnosis from a reputable physiotherapist is essential so treatment and therapy is focused on the appropriate area. Make sure you’re not wasting time, effort, and/or financial resources on the wrong path. Contact our clinic for an assessment right away if you are experiencing pelvic pain even when you have not sustained an injury to the direct physical region.

Lower Back

The lower back can be a major cause of hip and pelvic pain. Because this pain is very commonly the result of pain that is originating from your back, an assessment by a physiotherapist can help differentiate between hip pain and lower back pain that’s referring to your hip.
