Top 3 Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can be a common complaint with runners, cross fitters, weight lifters, and people who like to get out and play. The key to treating and ending it is to discover the “Root Cause”. In order to get lasting relief the root cause must be identified so that appropriate treatment can be given. Some of the major causes of pain can include hip arthritis, hip impingement, IT band syndrome, Hip Bursitis, Gluteal Tendinopathy, and greater trochanteric syndrome. Learn the top 3 common causes of Hip Pain and why it is important to learn what the “root cause” of your pain is before you receive any treatment. This is important to understand because many treatments fail because the root cause of the pain was never determined.

Hey everybody Dr. Nick Scotto here with

River City physical therapy located

right here in the heart of Jacksonville

today I wanted to talk to you about the

top three most common causes of hip pain

now hip pain usually occurs when you’re

active and move around quite a bit so

you might be a crossfitter

a weightlifter you might be a runner or

a dancer or maybe you’re someone in that

middle age category or older who likes

to stay active and fit playing tennis or

golf and it can affect people of all

ages and people who participate in all

different kinds of sport so but one of

the first most common causes affects

that kind of middle-aged and older

active older population that is hip

arthritis or hip osteoarthritis this is

usually kind of like a painful and stiff

hip usually the pain is felt in the

front and on the side of the hip now

another common cause of hip pain is what

some might call hip bursitis it’s also

be called greater trochanteric syndrome

greater trochanteric bursitis you know

say that three times fast

it’s also been called gluteal

tendinopathy or trochanteric

tendinopathy or glute pain so there’s a

lot of different diagnoses for this but

I like to call it just lateral hip pain

to simplify things so lateral hip pain

kind of encompasses all of those types

of pains and again all of those hip

bursitis greater trochanteric syndrome

gluteal tendinopathy all of that pain is

felt to literally just on the side of

your hip on the outside of your

you usually don’t feel pain elsewhere

and usually that pain occurs when

participating your favorite sport

exercise routine or activity and it most

often affects women middle-aged women

actually now the third one I’m going to

I’m kind of incorporate two different

two different diagnoses are very similar

hip impingement and labral tears in the

hip so hip impingement and labral tears

and hip this is when you get kind of a

pinching sharp sensation when you’re

squatting down and coming back up or

when you’re cutting you feel kind of a

catch or a click in your hip those are

some of the signs of symptoms of a hip

impingement or labor tears

usually affects your athletes including

your dancers or your CrossFitters or

specific sports soccer players

footballers tennis players really

anybody who’s who requires a lot of hip

mobility to move around in their sport

so this this can be a painful condition

and definitely affect your more active

population and keep them from performing

at a high level now all of these three

conditions have one thing in common and

that is they keep people from performing

at their highest level whether they’re a

walker or Runner a crossfitter a

weightlifter a tennis player a soccer

player all of these conditions can be

painful and keep you from performing at

the level you want or maybe you’re just

someone that wants to be able to play

with their kids and grandkids getting up

and off the ground running around with

them but you can’t because you have this

pain that keeps you from doing it and

then particularly with lateral hip pain

it may keep you from sleeping

comfortably so all of these conditions

can be quite painful and debilitating in

our lives so if you have some hip pain

and aren’t sure what’s going on or what

to do about it I would invite you to

give us a call at 904-370-3257 and we’ll

talk to you to see what type of hip pain

you may have and what it might look like

for you to get back to the onto the road

of pain free movement and pain free

living look forward to hearing from you soon.
