What is hip pain?

Hip pain can come from the joint itself, the surrounding muscles and tendons, the bursa, or even be referred from the lower back. Because the hip carries your body weight and drives nearly every movement, pain here quickly affects walking, stairs, sitting and sleep.

Our team pinpoints the true source of your hip pain and builds a plan to reduce pain and rebuild the strength and mobility that protect the joint.

Common causes of hip pain

  • Osteoarthritis and age-related changes
  • Bursitis (inflammation of the hip bursa)
  • Gluteal tendinopathy or muscle imbalance
  • Overuse from sport, running or work
  • Referred pain from the lower back
  • Previous injury or post-surgery stiffness

Symptoms we treat

  • Pain in the groin, outer hip or buttock
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion
  • Pain with walking, stairs or getting up from sitting
  • Pain lying on the affected side
  • Weakness or a feeling of instability
