What Causes Hip Pain?... And Why is Your Hip Pain Not Getting Better?

If you're experiencing hip pain, stiffness, or discomfort, it's often tempting to brush it off, assuming it's a passing issue that will resolve on its own. You might attribute it to overexertion or simply consider it a common ache or stiffness associated with ageing.

There’s no obvious reason why it happened – but it doesn’t seem to be shifting and its been there a good while now.

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – persistent hip pain is one of the most prevalent issues we see at Muscle People Physiotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hip Pain

What causes hip pain?

Hip pain can arise from various factors, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip fractures, bursitis, tendonitis, muscle strains, or referred pain from the lower back.

How is hip pain diagnosed?

Diagnosis often involves a physical examination by a healthcare professional to assess range of motion, strength, and any signs of injury or inflammation. Imaging tests like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans may be ordered to identify specific issues.

What are the best treatments for hip pain?

Treatment for hip pain often includes rest, pain management (e.g., medication or injections), physical therapy, exercises to strengthen hip muscles and improve flexibility, and sometimes, in severe cases, surgery.

How long does it take to recover from hip pain?

Recovery time varies based on the cause and severity of the hip pain. Acute cases might improve within a few days or weeks, while chronic hip pain might require ongoing management and take longer to alleviate.

Should I rest or stay active when experiencing hip pain?

While rest is important initially, maintaining some level of gentle activity and specific hip exercises, as advised by a healthcare professional, can often aid in recovery and prevent stiffness.

What lifestyle changes can help prevent hip pain?

Maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise to strengthen hip muscles, avoiding overuse or sudden increases in activity, and using proper techniques for lifting or carrying heavy objects can help prevent hip pain.

When should I see a physiotherapist for my hip pain?

It's advisable to seek medical attention if hip pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, redness, fever, or difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg.

Can hip pain lead to other complications?

In some cases, chronic hip pain might lead to reduced mobility, muscle weakness, or restricted daily activities if left untreated. Seeking timely medical advice can help prevent potential complications.

Are there specific exercises that can help with hip pain?

Yes, certain exercises targeting hip mobility, strengthening, and flexibility can alleviate hip pain. Your healthcare provider or physiotherapist can recommend specific exercises tailored to your condition.

What are some ergonomic tips for managing hip pain during daily activities?

Ensuring proper posture, using supportive chairs, avoiding activities that exacerbate hip pain, and practising relaxation techniques to reduce muscle tension can help manage discomfort during daily tasks.

Please note that these FAQs provide general information and should not replace personalised advice from a qualified healthcare professional. It is important to consult with a trusted physiotherapist to assess your individual case and determine the most suitable treatment plan for your hip pain.
