Don't let hip pain limit your life any longer. Our expert team is ready to help you on your journey to recovery.
Hip pain varies significantly in type, location, and severity. Understanding the nature of your specific hip pain is crucial for effective treatment and long-term relief.
Your hip is a ball-and-socket joint formed where the thighbone (femur) meets the pelvis. The ball (femoral head) fits into the socket (acetabulum) and is cushioned by cartilage. This complex joint is surrounded by muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursae that enable movement and provide stability.
Our specialist team conducts thorough assessments to identify exactly which structures are causing your pain, whether it's the joint itself, surrounding soft tissues, or referred pain from the spine. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including physical examination, imaging studies, and functional movement analysis to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Hip joint anatomy and common pain areas
Our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of hip pain, each requiring a unique approach for optimal recovery.
The most common type of hip arthritis, caused by wear and tear of the cartilage. Often leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, particularly worse in the morning.
Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the hip joint. Causes pain on the outer hip that often worsens with lying on the affected side or prolonged walking.
Femoroacetabular impingement occurs when bones rub together abnormally. Common in young, active individuals, causing groin pain and limited hip flexibility.
Tear in the cartilage ring (labrum) that follows the outside rim of the hip socket. Causes deep hip pain, clicking, locking sensations, and instability in the joint.
Inflammation of the tendons around the hip joint, often from overuse or repetitive activities. Common in runners and athletes, causing pain that worsens with activity.
Many hip pain conditions share similar symptoms, making self-diagnosis difficult. Our specialists use comprehensive assessment techniques to determine the exact cause of your pain and create an appropriate treatment plan.
