Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can arise from various issues, including arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis which occur due to maladaptive loading of the tissues. Osteoarthritis of the hip leads to joint degeneration, causing pain and stiffness. Hip bursitis involves inflammation of the bursa, which can result in pain on the outer hip. Tendonitis, such as in the iliopsoas or gluteal tendons, can also cause discomfort.

Acute injuries like hip labral tears and fractures are additional causes of hip pain.

How Physical Therapists Treat Hip Pain

Physical therapists treat hip pain through a range of strategies. Manual therapy is used to improve joint mobility and reduce pain. Strengthening exercises focus on the hip muscles and surrounding areas to provide support and stability. Stretching exercises are prescribed to maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness. Therapists also look globally to determine how your back, knee, and ankle may be impacting symptoms in your hip. Therapists may also employ modalities like heat, ice, and electrical stimulation to manage pain and promote healing.
