Hip pain can arise from a variety of causes, each with its own set of symptoms and implications. Common causes include arthritis, which is particularly prevalent among older adults, and injuries such as fractures and muscle strains. Overuse conditions like bursitis and tendinitis are also frequent culprits, especially among athletes and those engaged in repetitive physical activities. Structural issues, such as femoroacetabular impingement and hip dysplasia, can further contribute to discomfort, while referred pain from the spine or pelvis can complicate diagnosis.

Physical therapy is a cornerstone of conservative management, focusing on exercises that stretch and strengthen the muscles surrounding the hip. A tailored physical therapy program can enhance mobility, improve balance, and reduce the risk of future injuries. For individuals with persistent pain, injections of steroids or hyaluronic acid may be considered to address inflammation directly within the joint.
