Hip Pain
Our hip joints withstand a significant amount of wear and tear, not to mention lots of repetitive motion as well. As the body’s largest ball-and-socket joint, it fits together and allows for fluid movement. Whenever you use your hips, such as going on a run, a cushion of cartilage prevents painful friction when the hip bone moves in the socket. Despite the durability of this joint, it is by no means indestructible. Consequently, with age and use, the cartilage can get damaged or wear down.
Hip muscles and tendons can suffer from overuse and result in hip pain
The older we get, the greater the risk of breaking the hip bone from falling or some other type of injury. Any of these issues can cause hip pain. If you’ve been experiencing pain in either of both of your hips, visiting All Health Chiropractic Clinic to see a specialist may be the ideal solution for your suffering. Here are a few things you need to be aware of before making an appointment at our facility.
A closer Look at the Hips
Our hips provide support for many everyday activities including climbing stairs, sitting, and walking. Consequently, taking care of them is essential to our quality of life. When something goes wrong with one or both of our hips, we notice it immediately. Hip pain ranges from mildly annoying to excruciating and debilitating. Whether you feel an occasional twinge or you feel pain with every step you take, we recommend you visit us for an examination and evaluation.
5 Most common Causes of Hip Pain
As stated above, our hips support a number of different bodily functions. Not only do they keep us standing upright, they enable us to bear weight, jump, kick, run, and walk smoothly.
Since our hip joints are involved in nearly every movement we make, hip pain can be debilitating. At All Health Chiropractic Clinic, our chiropractic doctors and specialists can quickly identify the source of your pain and customize a treatment that is tailored to your specific needs and symptoms.
Hip pain can affect individuals of every age from teenagers and young adults to seniors and the elderly. The 5 most common causes of hip pain include:
Hip pain can be derived from the structure of the joint to the ligaments and structures surrounding it. If an illness or injury triggers inflammation, the space within the joint can be filled with blood or fluid and cause pain.
In some cases, what patients refer to as hip pain is actually pain derived from a different area of the body. For example, the lower back pain a patient is complaining about may be derived from a dysfunctional sacroiliac joint. Furthermore, groin and hip pain may also be attributed to a hernia.
Arthritis and inflammation can result in wear and tear of the cartilage that surrounds our hip joints. Consequently, our routine daily activities can place stress and cause the ligaments, muscles, and tendons surrounding the hip joint to become inflamed and cause increasing pain over time.
Older adults commonly experience hip pain associated with osteoarthritis, which involves progressive joint degeneration and a loss of cartilage.
Dislocations and fractures of the hips or pelvis, which are less subtle than injuries resulting from overuse, can be diagnosed much easier since they typically result from direct trauma. However, the trauma can result in chronic pain and pain management becomes important after treatment.
