What Is Causing Your Hip Pain?
Hip pain can significantly impact your ability to walk and move about. Understanding the common causes is the first step to finding relief. Here are the most common causes of hip pain:
- Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of hip pain, resulting from the degeneration of joint cartilage over time. This degenerative process can occur because of past trauma, years of improper alignment, excessively tight leg muscles, lack of centered hip movement and genetic predisposition. The resulting pain, inflammation, stiffness, and decreased mobility make daily activities more challenging.
- Bursitis, an inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint, is another cause of hip pain. Repetitive stress and tight muscles leads to friction and pressure on the bursa, causing sharp pain during movement and tenderness when pressure is applied.
- Hip labral tears are also a possible source of hip pain, involving damage to the cartilage ring surrounding the hip socket. Athletes and active individuals are particularly susceptible to labral tears, which can cause deep, nagging pain in the groin area.
- Hip impingement, or femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), occurs when there is abnormal pressure between the ball and socket of the hip joint due to deformity of the joint surfaces. This can lead to cartilage damage, tissue irritation and pain, especially during activities that require hip flexion.
- Muscle strains and tendonitis can also contribute to hip pain, as overuse or sudden force will stress and strain tissues surrounding the hip joint. This is more likely to occur if there is faulty hip alignment and joint mechanics.
To successfully resolve your hip pain, it is important to identify the source of your problem. Let our skilled physiotherapist in Howe Street or Denman Street, BC Area help today so you can get back to doing what you love tomorrow!
