HIP Pain

About

The hip is responsible for many activities of the body. Although injuries on the hip don’t happen as frequently as in other joints, they are still very common. Inflammation in this area could be the consequence of either an illness or an injury. When inflammation occurs, the hip joint gets filled with fluid or blood which then stretches the hip capsule lining and causes pain. Other causes of hip pain are tendon inflammation, which occurs due to a repetitive action of the joint; different types of arthritis like osteoarthritis, septic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, bursitis and rheumatoid arthritis; and fractures, which are very common on elderly people.

People suffer from hip pain for several reasons, but most fall under 3 major categories:

• Arthritis

• Soft Tissue

• Fractures
