Find the Source of your Hip Pain!

The hips are large joints in your body, where the ball of the thigh bone joins the pelvis. The hip joint is very crucial in assisting movement, helping the thighs move back and forth. The hips also aid in rotating when changing direction and walking. Pain or injury in the hips can be painful and disabling.

There could be many causes of hip pain, and depending on the circumstances, the pain could be acute or chronic. Some causes include arthritis, fracture or sprain, sciatica, or bursitis. Symptoms like limping, joint pain, difficulty moving, and swelling can occur. The treatment will depend on the severity and cause of the pain.
