A Deeper Understanding of What Hip Pain Is
A wide range of problems causes hip pain. The exact location of the hip pain can provide valuable clues about the primary cause of your pain. A problem in the hip joint can make you experience pain deep inside your hip, in the gluteal region or groin. Each of these may indicator a different type of hip issue.
The hip pain experienced outside your hip, outer buttock, or upper thigh could be due to a problem with the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and the soft tissues surrounding the hip joint. Also, some diseases and conditions in your lower back, for instance, can cause these same symptoms. Figuring out the exact underlying cause of the pain before starting treatment is essential to solving the problem.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Our health care providers will perform a thorough history, conduct a detailed exam and come to a final diagnosis of your condition. Only then will we be able to develop an appropriate treatment plan depending on what is causing it. Here are a few causes of hip pain that require treatment right away.
- ArthritisThis is a common cause of hip pain among adults. Osteoarthritis (OA) causes swelling, stiffness, progressive cartilage loss, and joint degeneration. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune disorder meaning your body attacks healthy tissues thinking they are foreign invaders, thus causing hip pain.
- SciaticaSciatica nerve runs from the pelvic region, back of your thighs, and down to your feet. Pressure or injury to the sciatic nerve can be caused by spinal degeneration, spasm of the piriformis muscle in the hip, herniated discs, bulging discs, or osteoarthritis in the low back.
- OverusePhysically active people such as dancers, athletes, etc., experience pain in the hip due to overuse. This means the joints surrounding the muscles, ligaments, and tendons become irritated and inflamed.
- TraumaTrauma injuries such as hip misalignment and even dislocation can cause immediate and severe pain. Your muscles and ligaments can get strained, bruised, or strained when you fall or slip, even when there is no broken bone.
