Understanding Hip Pain

The hip joint is one of the body’s most essential and complex joints, responsible for bearing your body weight and facilitating various movements. Its intricate structure makes it susceptible to a range of issues that can lead to pain and discomfort.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

  1. Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can affect the hip joint, leading to pain and stiffness.
  2. Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa sacs around the hip can result in pain and discomfort.
  3. Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the hip can cause pain and stiffness.
  4. Hip Labral Tears: Tears in the cartilage surrounding the hip joint can lead to pain and limited mobility.
