Hip Pain Treatment in Burlington
Hip pain can limit walking, stairs and sleep. We find the source, whether in the hip joint, surrounding tendons or the lower back.
Understanding the condition
About hip pain
Pain around the hip can arise from the joint itself, such as osteoarthritis, or from surrounding tendons and bursae, such as gluteal tendinopathy and trochanteric bursitis. Pain in the groin, buttock or outer hip can also be referred from the lower back. An accurate diagnosis is essential, and treatment usually centres on strengthening the hip muscles and managing load.
Common symptoms
- Pain on the outside of the hip, worse lying on that side
- Groin pain with walking or getting out of a car
- Stiffness after sitting
- Pain climbing stairs
- A limp or reduced walking tolerance
Common causes
- Gluteal tendinopathy or bursitis
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Weak hip and core muscles
- Lower back problems
- Foot mechanics and leg-length differences
