Why Am I Experiencing Hip Pain?

Our body's intricate mechanics ensure our ability to move freely. When something is amiss, hip pain can rear its head!

Here are some common causes of hip pain: 

  • Pinched sciatic nerve
  • Imbalanced posture or gait
  • Acute injuries (sprains, strains, and dislocations)
  • Cartilage tears/labral tears
  • Iliotibial band syndrome
  • Hip flexor muscle injuries
  • Tight hip flexors
  • Weak gluteus medius muscles
  • Overuse injuries (tendinitis)
  • Muscle strain

To pinpoint the true cause of your hip pain, it's best to consult with our licensed physical therapist for a comprehensive evaluation. Make an appointment at FYZICAL Upper Arlington today and kickstart your journey to hip pain relief!

How Can You Prevent Hip Pain?

Maintaining a balanced diet and staying active are the number one preventatives of hip pain. Being overweight or overworking your hips incorrectly puts a lot of pressure on the joints, eventually damaging the cartilage and leading to swelling, stiffness, and pain. Those with severe pain may need medical attention. 

Good posture is also crucial to musculoskeletal health. If you don't sit or stand properly, the natural curves of the spine change shape and can cause injury, back pain, and hip pain. You can prevent this by practicing good posture. Sit with legs uncrossed and the feet flat on the floor. Stand appropriately by keeping the shoulders back and stomach in.

To prevent hip pain:

  • Wear comfortable footwear to lessen the strain on the hips and lower limbs
  • Warm-up and cool down when working out
  • Do stretching exercises to ease stiffness
  • Incorporate resistance training into your workout

When Should You See a Doctor for Your Hip Pain?

Is your hip pain affecting the quality of your life? If you can no longer play sports or even walk the dog with your hip pain, we recommend seeing a physical therapist for a checkup. Untreated hip pain can also lead to leg and back pains. Don't wait for the hip pain to progress into chronic pain, which could lead to hip replacement surgery. See a medical professional when hip pain doesn't improve within a few days. 

Consult with an experienced and dedicated therapist to treat your hip pain. Our professional therapists at FYZICAL can check your hips for signs of structural or misalignment issues. We can recommend a customized treatment plan to alleviate pain and help you return to your regular routine. 

Hip Pain Relief through Physical Therapy in Upper Arlington, OH, and Greater Columbus

Don't let hip pain dictate your life! Physical therapy can ease, and in many cases, completely eliminate your hip discomfort.

To begin, our skilled physical therapists at FYZICAL in Upper Arlington, OH, and greater Columbus will assess your hips for signs of misalignment or structural issues. They will also evaluate your posture, gait, and range of motion.
