Hip Pain Relief

What Is Causing Your Hip Pain?

Hip pain can greatly affect your quality of life. Understanding its common causes is the first step toward effective relief. Here are some of the most frequent causes of hip pain:

• Osteoarthritis is a primary cause, resulting from the gradual breakdown of joint cartilage. This degeneration leads to inflammation, stiffness, and reduced mobility, making everyday activities more difficult.
• Bursitis involves inflammation of the bursa sacs that cushion the hip joint. It often results from repetitive stress or direct injury, causing sharp pain with movement and tenderness when pressure is applied.
• Hip Labral Tears occur when the cartilage ring surrounding the hip socket is damaged. Athletes and active individuals are especially prone to these tears, which cause deep, persistent pain in the hip or groin.
• Hip Impingement (Femoroacetabular Impingement, FAI) happens when abnormal contact occurs between the ball and socket of the hip joint. This can damage cartilage, limit motion, and cause ongoing pain, particularly during activities involving hip flexion.
• Muscle Strains and Tendonitis result from overuse or sudden force, straining the muscles and tendons around the hip. This leads to pain, inflammation, and decreased function in the affected area.

To effectively resolve your hip pain, identifying its root cause is essential. Take charge of your health and well-being—our skilled physical therapists in Bay Ho, San Diego, or Alpine, CA and surrounding areas are ready to help you get back to the activities you love!
