Hip Arthritis

Hip Pain
Your elbow plays a major role in helping your shoulder, wrist, and arm function properly.
Hip Replacement Surgery
If you feel pain when you bend your wrist towards your palm, or your elbow feels a little stiff and there is a tingling sensation that travels from your elbow to your wrist, golfer’s elbow might just be the culprit.
Hip Sprain/Strain
An injury to your nerve can cause pain and difficulty in using your hands or feet. This will reduce your ability to participate and carry out normal activities.
IT Band Syndrome
Are you experiencing a dull aching pain around your elbow, forearm, or wrist? Does it worsen at night and make you unable to sleep? Radial tunnel syndrome might just be the cause.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes hip pain?
Hip pain can come from muscle strain, arthritis, bursitis, labral tears, hip flexor injuries, overuse, tendonitis, or referred pain from the lower back or pelvis. Everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, and prolonged sitting can worsen symptoms.
How can physical therapy help hip pain?
Physical therapy helps improve strength, flexibility, and joint mechanics. A tailored program addresses muscle imbalances, restores proper movement patterns, reduces pain, and improves function without relying solely on medications or surgery.
How long does hip rehabilitation usually take?
Recovery time depends on the cause and severity of hip pain. Mild strains may improve in a few weeks, while more complex conditions like labral tears or chronic arthritis may take several months of consistent therapy.
Can hip pain come from my lower back?
Yes. The hip and lower back are closely connected. Sometimes pain felt in the hip actually originates from the lumbar spine or surrounding nerves. A physical therapist can identify the true source of discomfort.
Can hip therapy improve balance?
Yes. Since the hips play a major role in stability, strengthening them can significantly improve balance and reduce fall risk.
