hip injuries

 

 

Whether you are dancing, climbing stairs, simply getting out of bed, or running, your hip joint is extremely important for overall function.  The hip is a ball and socket joint that allows for wide range of motion, thereby opening itself to a variety of injuries.

​

As a complex collection of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and muscles, the hip endures the shocks of daily living but is also vulnerable to athletic injury.

 

Common hip conditions include:

​

• Bursitis

• Tendonitis

• Arthritis

• Sprains and strains

• Hip pointers

• Piriformis syndrome

• Labral tears

• Fractures

​

If you have numbness, tingling, night pain, or progressive weakness, your PACT physical therapist can begin a plan of care to get you better, faster.
