Understanding Pain Around the Hip
Hip pain may be felt in the groin, outer hip, buttock, or upper leg. It can interfere with walking, standing, getting in and out of a chair, exercising, or sleeping comfortably.
Because pain near the hip can also come from nearby joints, muscles, or the spine, an evaluation looks beyond the painful spot before a treatment plan is considered.
After the evaluation, the specialist can explain appropriate next steps and whether an interventional approach should be considered as part of the broader care plan.
Clarifying the Source of Hip Pain
An individualized plan begins by identifying whether symptoms are most consistent with the hip joint, surrounding structures, the pelvis, or referred pain from the spine.
