CONDITION GUIDE / HIP PAIN
Hip Pain
Hip and nearby-region pain can affect walking, sitting, stairs, exercise, and sleep. Evaluation helps distinguish the different patterns that can feel similar.
What this can look like
Common symptoms or presentations
People may describe pain in the front, side, or back of the hip, stiffness, reduced walking tolerance, pain with stairs or sport, or symptoms that overlap with the low back or thigh.
Potential contributing factors
Potential contributors include changes in activity, injury, joint irritation, tendon or muscle loading, mobility limitations, low-back or nerve-related factors, or other medical conditions.
How evaluation guides care
The evaluation looks at onset, load, gait, hip and lumbar movement, strength, neurological findings, and the activities that matter to you. It helps determine an appropriate starting point.
Recommendations may include education, activity modification, exercise, rehabilitation, and manual care when supported by the evaluation and aligned with your goals.
Movement, exercise, and rehabilitation
Progressive strengthening, mobility, and task-specific practice may help restore useful capacity. The plan should be gradual, measurable, and adjusted to response.
Significant trauma, inability to bear weight, progressive neurological changes, systemic symptoms, or persistent unexplained pain may warrant medical evaluation or referral.
Frequently asked questions
Can hip pain come from the back?
Is rest enough for hip pain?
When should hip pain be assessed urgently?
