Here’s what you need to know about hip pain and how the chiropractors at The Joint can help.
The Causes of Hip Pain
Hip pain often isn’t the result of a single problem. It can have many roots, such as:
- Muscle strain/overuse injury – This is a common cause of hip pain for physically active people. Going through the same motions over and over can cause damage to the muscles that results in pain.
- Bursitis – The cushion of fluid that helps to reduce friction in your hip joints is called the trochanteric bursa. When it gets inflamed it can result in something called bursitis -- an inflammatory condition that can result in pain and loss of mobility.
- Osteoarthritis – Over time, normal wear and tear can lead to arthritis in a joint where the cartilage that helps to cushion the hip degenerates.
- Transient osteoporosis – This is a condition that is painful but reversible for some people. It may strike middle-aged men or pregnant women and result in hip pain.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to conditions that cause pain in the hip. You should see a chiropractor at The Joint for a proper assessment and diagnosis.
