Hip and Groin Pain
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint between the head of the femur and the pelvis, allowing movement in all directions. As such, hip pain can be particularly debilitating when it occurs. It may result from overload on the hip joint or from an injury. There are numerous potential sources of hip pain, including the joint and cartilage, the surrounding muscles, or even referred pain from the lower back. Given the complexity of the hip, a thorough assessment is essential to determine the exact cause of the pain.
Common injuries or causes of hip pain include:
-
Arthritis
-
Bursitis
-
Adductor/Groin strain or pain
-
Hip flexor pain
-
Gluteal tendinopathy
-
Joint stiffness
