Hip Pain

Your hip is one of your largest weight-bearing joints. It’s there to support you whether you’re standing in place or walking from one errand to the next. Unfortunately, hip pain is an all too common complaint – especially as you get older. Anything affecting one of the joint’s many components — whether it’s the bones, muscles, joints, or tendons located in or around the hip area — can cause hip discomfort. The pain you experience in your hip can also radiate to other parts of your body, such as down your thigh or in your groin.

If your pain lasts longer than a few days, it’s time to call the orthopedic specialists at Alliance Orthopedics. We can assess your condition and develop a treatment plan that addresses your painful symptoms so you can get on the road to full recovery.
