Hip Pain Treatment Overview

Hip pain can arise from various conditions, affecting mobility and daily activities. At Shreeja Hospital, we focus on accurately diagnosing the causes of hip pain and providing tailored treatment options.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

  • Hip Osteoarthritis: A degenerative condition characterized by the breakdown of cartilage between bones, leading to chronic pain. It is prevalent among the elderly but can also affect younger individuals due to trauma.
  • Piriformis Syndrome: Pain in the buttocks and hip caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve due to degeneration or injury of the piriformis muscle.
  • Trochanteric Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa located around the greater trochanter of the femur, often resulting from trauma or overuse.
  • Iliopsoas Bursitis: Inflammation of the iliopsoas bursa, leading to pain in the front part of the hip joint, commonly seen with repetitive use or trauma.

Symptoms

  • Pain in the hip joint or surrounding areas
  • Tenderness in the buttocks or groin
  • Difficulty moving the hip or leg
  • Pain that worsens with activity or at night
