What Causes Hip Pain?

Hip pain can develop from a variety of conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves surrounding the hip. Some patients experience sudden pain after an injury, while others develop chronic hip pain that gradually worsens over time.

Common causes of hip pain include:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Hip bursitis
  • Tendonitis
  • Labral tears
  • Muscle strains
  • Sciatica
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
  • Hip impingement
  • Sports injuries
  • Nerve compression
  • Previous hip surgery
  • Degenerative joint disease

Accurately diagnosing the source of hip pain is essential to developing an effective treatment plan.

Hip Pain Symptoms

Symptoms can vary depending on the underlying condition but may include:

  • Pain in the hip joint
  • Groin pain
  • Pain in the buttocks
  • Stiffness or limited range of motion
  • Difficulty walking
  • Pain when standing or sitting
  • Pain that radiates down the leg
  • Hip weakness
  • Discomfort during physical activity
  • Pain that worsens with movement

If hip pain is affecting your daily life, professional evaluation can help identify the cause and guide treatment.

How Is Hip Pain Diagnosed?

At Westside Pain Specialists, we perform a comprehensive assessment to determine the source of your symptoms.

Your evaluation may include:

Medical History Review

We discuss your symptoms, pain patterns, previous injuries, activity level, and treatment history.

Physical Examination

A thorough examination helps evaluate hip mobility, strength, stability, and areas of tenderness.

Diagnostic Imaging

X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, or ultrasound imaging may be recommended to better understand the condition affecting your hip.

Diagnostic Injections

In some cases, targeted injections may help confirm whether the hip joint or surrounding structures are responsible for your pain.

Hip Pain Treatment Options

Treatment recommendations are customized based on your diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment goals.

Medication Management

Anti-inflammatory medications and other therapies may help manage pain and improve function.

Joint Injections

Hip joint injections may help reduce inflammation and provide significant pain relief for patients suffering from arthritis or joint-related pain.

Nerve Blocks

Targeted nerve blocks may help interrupt pain signals and relieve chronic hip pain.

Physical Therapy Recommendations

Strengthening and mobility exercises may improve hip function and reduce pain.

Regenerative Medicine Treatments

Certain patients may be candidates for regenerative medicine therapies designed to support healing and improve function.

Neuromodulation Therapies

Advanced treatments such as Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) may be considered for patients experiencing chronic nerve-related hip pain.

Hip Arthritis Treatment

Hip osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic hip pain. As cartilage wears down over time, patients may experience:

  • Joint stiffness
  • Pain with activity
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Difficulty walking
  • Chronic inflammation

Our specialists offer a variety of non-surgical treatment options designed to help manage arthritis symptoms and improve quality of life.

Benefits of Professional Hip Pain Treatment

Seeking treatment early may help:

  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Improve mobility
  • Increase activity levels
  • Enhance quality of life
  • Delay or avoid surgery
  • Improve sleep quality
  • Restore daily function

The sooner the underlying cause is identified, the sooner an effective treatment plan can begin.

When Should You See a Pain Management Specialist for Hip Pain?

You should consider seeking evaluation if:

  • Hip pain lasts longer than a few weeks
  • Pain interferes with daily activities
  • You have difficulty walking or standing
  • Symptoms continue despite rest or medication
  • Pain radiates into the leg or lower back
  • Previous treatments have not provided relief

Our team can help identify the cause of your pain and recommend the most appropriate treatment options.
