At Penrose Physical Therapy, two of the most common causes of hip pain we see are gluteal tendinopathy and hip arthritis.
Gluteal tendinopathy occurs when the tendons around the outside of the hip become irritated or begin to degenerate over time. It’s especially common in women, particularly after menopause, and often causes pain along the outside of the hip.
Hip arthritis is another common source of discomfort. As the joint changes over time, everyday weight-bearing activities can become more uncomfortable, making it harder to stay active and independent.
Because several conditions can cause similar symptoms, a thorough assessment is essential to determine the true source of your hip pain and create the most effective treatment plan.
Hip pain can present differently depending on the underlying cause, but many people notice symptoms that gradually interfere with daily life.
Common symptoms include:
Many people also find themselves avoiding activities they enjoy because they worry about making the pain worse or simply can’t move as comfortably as they once could.
