What are the most common causes of hip pain?
Our body parts work together to allow us to move freely. If any part of the system malfunctions, it can have an impact on other parts of the body. Our hips are no different. Problems with the feet, knees, or spine can all contribute to the onset and chronicity of hip pain.
The following are some of the common reasons of hip pain and/or dysfunction:
- Arthritis and degenerative changes
- Posture patterns
- Repetitive tasks
- Poor rehabilitation to other kinetic chain areas (knees, ankles/feet, low back)
- Abnormal gait patterns
- Poor functional patterning
- Leg/hip weakness
- Nerve problems
Hip pain can be caused by a variety of injuries, including:
- Acute injuries (i.e., sprains, strains, and fractures)
- Labral tears
- Cartilage issues
- Injuries caused by overuse (tendinitis)
A thorough evaluation by one of our licensed physical therapists is the best way to determine the true cause of your hip pain. Request an appointment with Hopstown Physical Therapy today!
Finding true hip pain relief
Physical therapy can assist you in locating the source of your hip discomfort safely and effectively. Physical therapy provides patients with the knowledge and resources they need to deal with their pain and find long-term relief.
Strengthening exercises will also be included in your treatment plan to help regain the functional capacity of the affected leg. Furthermore, we will work to regain normal movement patterns in weight bearing (standing, squatting, getting up/down from the ground, stairs, running, etc) ensuring you fully restore all of your functional needs.
They will then examine your hips, low back, and lower extremities. Your physical therapist will also assess your gait, posture, balance, and functional capabilities.
Once your therapist completes your evaluation, they will develop a personalized treatment plan just for you. You may be given targeted manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilizations, and specific exercises and stretches, to alleviate joint pain and increase mobility.
First, a licensed physical therapist in Beaverton or Lake Oswego, OR will take a detailed history, including the nature of the pain, functional limitations, look to understand what makes the hip pain worse or better, and discuss any relevant health and medical history.
You’ll be back to your favorite hobbies in no time, with increased mobility, strength, and less pain!
