Hip Joint Pain?

Your hip joint is in constant demand. Think of the movements you make throughout your day for instance. Hip joint function is a 24/7 necessity whether sitting, walking, or running. Hip joints, muscles, cartilage, and tendons require demanding use. Eventually they can become injured. The most common cause of pain is a direct hip injury.  However, there are many issues that can cause life-changing discomfort. Most causes of hip pain can be remedied by a licensed physical therapist at Park Sports Physical Therapy.

Who Suffers From Hip Pain?

There is no age barrier for hip pain. Degenerative joint conditions is a common cause of hip pain in older adults. But hip pain is not always associated with arthritic changes. For example, adolescents involved in competitive sports and middle-aged weekend warriors are susceptible to injury and pain. Hip pain is affecting a younger population more than ever before. So, if you are feeling pain in your hip, it is important to get evaluated. Research shows that certain disorders lead to degenerative diseases of the hip. This can be prevented or slowed with early intervention however. Now, a new field called “hip preservation” has emerged.  Specialized physical therapists play an important role in this new area.
