Hip Pain Specialist

What is hip pain?

Hip pain refers to any type of discomfort that occurs in or around your hip joint. The location of your pain may help determine the underlying cause of the discomfort.

For example, pain near your groin or inside your hip may indicate a problem with the joint itself. Pain on the outside of your hip or upper thigh may be signs of a problem with the ligaments, muscles, or tendons that surround your hip.

What causes hip pain?

You may develop hip pain from an injury, overuse, or an underlying disease such as arthritis. The common causes of hip pain include:

• Osteoarthritis
• Bursitis
• Tendonitis
• Hip dislocation
• Fractures
• Strains or sprains
• Hip labral tear

Hip pain may also occur from problems that affect other parts of the body. 

Sciatica, for example, is a nerve condition that occurs from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica causes pain that radiates from the lower back to the hip and down the back of the leg.

Anyone with ongoing or severe hip pain benefits from rehabilitation with the physical and occupational therapists at Precision Rehab Occupational Physical & Hand Therapy.

What can I expect during hip pain therapy?

You can expect patient-centered care when you come in for hip pain therapy at Precision Rehab Occupational Physical & Hand Therapy. 

Before making any treatment recommendations, your physical therapist conducts a comprehensive initial evaluation. They review your medical and surgical history, symptoms, usual activities, and how your hip pain affects your quality of life.

They also evaluate your hip, assessing muscle strength, range of motion, and function. 

After your initial evaluation, the team creates a personalized treatment plan to ease your hip pain and restore function. Treatment may include:

• Manual manipulation
• Joint mobilization
• Hydrotherapy
• In-office exercise program
• Electrotherapy
• Laser therapy
• Home exercise program

The team schedules regular appointments for your hip pain treatment. The length of your therapy depends on the cause of your hip pain and how well your body responds to treatment.
