SYMPTOMS OF HIP PAIN

There are many causes of hip pain and this pain can occur anywhere around the joint.  Pain can occur on the inside or outside of the hip and it can extend to the thigh, groin and buttocks. Where the pain is situated usually depends on the underlying cause.

​

DIAGNOSING YOUR HIP PAIN

A variety of conditions, injuries and diseases can cause chronic hip pain. A few of the most common ones we see among our patients in Beverly Hills and surrounding areas include:

​

• Osteorthritis

​

• Trochanteric Bursitis​

​

• Hip Fracture

​

• Labral Tear

​

• Sprains and Strains of the ligaments and muscles around the hip joint

​

• Tendinitis - there are many tendons from the buttock and upper thigh that attach around the hip joint

​

• Sciatica

 

​

Our first step is to determine what’s causing your hip pain. Hip pain is often complex and frequently involves the lower back and surrounding ligaments, tendons and muscles.  It can also occur from asymmetry involving the lower extremity joints such as feet, ankles and knees.  We now know that joint dysfunction occurs due to joint instability, which puts strain and pressure on the surrounding structures of a joint.  It is no different for the hip joint.  We use our skills in musculoskeletal ultrasound to visualise statically and dynamically potential causes of your hip pain.

Our main focus is utilising our treatments and rehabilitation programs towards healing the root cause of your injury or condition without the need for surgery.  We apply the most up-to-date cutting-edge and innovative therapies to relieve your pain and promote improved function and healing.

Unfortunately, the traditional methods of treating musculoskeletal disease and injury are failing patients and we believe you’ll find our comprehensive and caring approach refreshing.  We don’t believe in a quick fix, one-size fits all approach.  Instead, we treat all the structures involved in your condition and enjoy working with our patients to achieve the best outcomes to help them return to normal function and a healthier lifestyle as quickly as possible.
