Hip Pain

“How To End Hip Pain And Stiffness Without Painkillers, Risking Surgery Or Having To Wait To See The Doctor”

Do your hips hurt every time you move?

The hips are the main stabilizing force in the body's center that connects the pelvis to the upper and lower body and enables the legs to move, pivot, twist, and turn. The hips, too, allow us to bend forwards and backward and move from a sitting to a standing position and vice versa.

But because they are so important and have so many different functions and movements, the hips can also be susceptible to injury and wear and tear. Plus, when something goes wrong with the hips, it really does go wrong, which becomes debilitating and painful to move.

Pain and problems with the hips can also extend into the lower back and the legs or affect the glute muscles and surrounding structures. You may also feel pain in the hips, but it could be coming from the lower back or because of irritation to the large sciatic nerve that runs from the lower back through the glutes and into the legs. 

Of course, hip pain is more common as we age – due to wear and tear and/or diminishing activity levels. But just because it’s more common doesn’t make it normal. Hip pain isn’t an expected part of getting older that you must endure. We slow down, of course, but there shouldn’t be a pain. Plus, even if wear and tear has begun to bite, we can stop it in its tracks and go some way towards reversing it – before it turns into painful arthritis. But you must come and see us at the first sign of pain or other symptoms.

That’s the bad news, but the good news is that we successfully treat patients with hip pain and stiffness daily at Apex Orthopedic Rehabilitation. It's one of the most common pain issues we treat.

“But Why is This Happening to me?”

or

“WHY DO I STILL HAVE HIP PAIN AFTER 6 MONTHS+?”

So what exactly causes hip pain? Well without getting to know you personally it's hard to give an exact answer to this. Hopefully, you haven’t been in pain every day for 6+ months. But many of the patients we see have waited that long, sometimes even longer. Mistakenly believing that everyone gets hip pain – especially above a certain age. But this is a misconception. Your hips and pelvis should move freely without pain or stiffness, regardless of age, and something is wrong if they don’t. You need a physical therapist ASAP before things get even worse.

Have you had hip pain for over 7 days?

If your hip pain has been hanging around for more than a week. You've probably seen a doctor who told you to take anti-inflammatory medication, "take it easy," and come back and see them if the pain doesn't improve. Sadly, for most people, the pain doesn't improve. They waste hours returning back and forward to the doctor’s office only to be given more lousy advice.

Don't sit around waiting for the pain to go away on its own, because it most likely wont. It's extremely common for people to sit around thinking why does my hip hurt?  only to put it off until the pain is excruciatingly bad.

For example, have you heard of hip dysplasia? We can help you, if you think you're experiencing hip dysplasia so don't hesitate to get in contact with us.
