Hip Pain Treatment

What is it?

The hip joint is the largest ball and socket joint in the body and connects the body’s trunk to the legs. It bears the body’s weight, holds the force of the strong hip and leg muscles, and provides balance and stability when both standing and in motion. Hip pain can be associated with injuries, overuse activities, chronic conditions, or related to aging. Hip pain may limit range of motion and make walking or weight bearing difficult. Pain can be described as sharp and grabbing or constant and aching and felt in the outside of the hip, in the groin, or radiate down the thigh to the knee.
