What is Hip Pain?
Hip pain can stem from various causes, ranging from overuse injuries and muscle imbalances to degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis and bursitis. Identifying the root cause of your hip discomfort is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.
What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain can be attributed to a multitude of factors, including:
- Overuse Injuries: Repetitive activities or excessive strain on the hip joint can lead to inflammation and pain.
- Muscle Imbalances: Weakness or tightness in the muscles surrounding the hip joint can affect stability and contribute to pain.
- Degenerative Conditions: Osteoarthritis, bursitis, and other degenerative changes in the hip joint can cause pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
- Sitting for Prolonged Periods: Sedentary lifestyles and prolonged sitting can lead to hip flexor tightness and discomfort.
- Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and increased pressure on the pelvic region during pregnancy can result in hip pain and discomfort.
Hip Pain Symptoms
Common symptoms of hip pain include:
- Aching or sharp pain in the hip joint
- Limited range of motion or stiffness
- Pain that worsens with activity or movement
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected hip
Hip Pain From Sitting
Sitting for extended periods can contribute to hip pain by placing excessive pressure on the hip flexors and surrounding muscles. Incorporating regular breaks, stretching exercises, and ergonomic adjustments can help alleviate discomfort and prevent further issues.
Hip Pain During Pregnancy
Hip pain during pregnancy is common due to hormonal changes, weight gain, and alterations in posture. Our therapists offer specialized techniques and exercises to address pregnancy-related hip discomfort and promote optimal pelvic alignment and stability.
