What causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain can have various origins, including sudden injuries, overuse, poor biomechanics, and degenerative conditions. Sudden trauma, such as a fall or sports injury, can cause strains or fractures in the hip joint. Chronic overuse, repetitive movements, or poor biomechanics can lead to muscle imbalances and joint inflammation. Additionally, degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis or hip dysplasia can result in chronic hip pain over time.
Symptoms of Hip Pain

Pain or stiffness in the hip joint, which may radiate to the groin, buttocks, or thigh.
Difficulty bearing weight on the affected hip or performing activities like walking, climbing stairs, or sitting for prolonged periods.
Reduced range of motion in the hip joint, making it challenging to move the leg or perform certain movements.
