Why Do My Hips Hurt?
Your hip is a ball-and-socket joint that works to support the weight of your upper body, relying on multiple muscles and tissues to keep it mobile and stable so it can function properly.
If we are in pain, we go to a doctor to figure out what is wrong. We are often surprised to learn that the problem is not what we thought. Our body parts are interrelated and collaborate to keep us moving freely. If anything is out of whack, hip discomfort may occur!
Here are some common causes of hip pain:
- Pinched sciatic nerve
- Unbalanced posture or gait
- Weak gluteus medius muscles
- Overuse injuries (tendinitis)
- Muscle strain
- Acute injuries (sprains, strains, and dislocations)
- Cartilage tears/labral tears
- Iliotibial band syndrome
- Injury to the hip flexor muscles
- Tight hip flexors
The best way to determine the true cause of your hip pain is to see our licensed physiotherapist for a thorough evaluation. Make an appointment at Lake Country Physiotherapy today and get started on your hip pain relief plan!
Physiotherapy and hip pain relief
The physiotherapy treatments at Lake Country Physiotherapy can help to greatly reduce your hip pain. In many cases, it can even relieve it completely, sparing you the need for potentially harmful medication or surgical correction.
Our Orillia, Ontario physiotherapists will examine your hip for signs of misalignment or structural damage, in addition to examining your stance, posture, gait, and range of motion. After your physical exam is complete, our physiotherapists will prescribe a physiotherapy plan for you, aimed at relieving unnatural stresses and strains, and normalizing your joint function.
You will be given targeted exercises designed for relieving joint pain and stabilizing weakness in your hip, though the exercises may vary depending on your condition. You may also be given exercises designed to strengthen the core, including your lower back muscle groups, lower abdominal muscle groups, or pelvic muscles. Core exercises are aimed at straightening your posture and equalizing the weight load on both sides of your body.
Additional specialized treatments may also be added as our physiotherapists deem fit, such as mobilizations to improve joint movement or other soft tissue treatments that relieve pain and promote the healing of damaged hip tissues.
