What is Hip Pain?

Hip pain is a common complaint ranging from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating discomfort. The hip joint is one of the body's largest and most complex joints, playing a critical role in mobility and stability. When pain strikes the hip, it can significantly impact daily activities—from walking and standing to even sitting for extended periods. Recognizing the signs early can help prevent further discomfort and improve overall joint health.

Why Does Hip Pain Happen?

Several factors may contribute to the development of hip pain, including:

  • Osteoarthritis - Wear and tear on the joint can lead to cartilage degeneration, resulting in pain and stiffness.
  • Bursitis - Inflammation of the bursae, the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint, can cause sharp, localized pain.
  • Tendinitis - Overuse or injury can inflame the tendons around the hip, leading to discomfort during movement.
  • Injuries or Trauma - Falls, sports injuries, or accidents can result in sprains, strains, or fractures affecting the hip.
  • Muscle Imbalances & Postural Issues - Poor posture or imbalances in the muscles surrounding the hip can lead to altered mechanics and pain.
  • Referred Pain - Issues in the lower back or pelvis can sometimes refer pain in the hip area.
