  • Physical Therapy For Hip Pain

Hip Arthritis (Osteoarthritis of the Hip)

Hip arthritis is the degeneration of the hip joint cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking.

Causes

  • Aging
  • Genetics
  • Previous hip injuries
  • Obesity
  • Repetitive stress on the joint

Diagnosis

  • X-rays to assess joint space narrowing and bone spurs
  • Clinical assessment of pain
  • Stiffness
  • Gait changes

Treatment

  • Joint mobilizations
  • Stretching
  • Hip and core strengthening
  • Assistive device training if needed
  • Education on activity modifications

Recovery

  • Average Treatment Time: 6–12 weeks conservatively
  • Total hip replacement may be considered for severe cases

Hip Labral Tear

A hip labral tear is damage to the cartilage ring around the hip socket, leading to pain, clicking, and hip instability.

Causes

  • Repetitive hip flexion/rotation (dancers, athletes)
  • Trauma
  • Structural abnormalities (FAI – Femoroacetabular Impingement)

Diagnosis

  • MRI with contrast
  • Clinical tests (FABER, FADIR)
  • Assessment of hip range of motion

Treatment

  • Core and glute strengthening
  • Hip stabilization exercises
  • Joint mobilization
  • Gait retraining
  • Post-surgical rehab includes progressive strengthening and mobility work.

Recovery

  • Average Treatment Time: 12+ weeks
  • Post-surgical rehab lasts 4–6 months

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

A total hip replacement replaces a damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant, reducing pain and improving mobility.

Causes

  • Severe hip arthritis
  • Fractures
  • Hip dysplasia

Diagnosis

  • X-rays confirm joint damage
  • Physical assessment evaluates mobility and function

Treatment

  • Post-surgical rehab includes gait training, hip strengthening, range of motion exercises, and balance training.

Recovery

  • Average Treatment Time: 3–6 months post-surgery

Hip Bursitis (Trochanteric Bursitis)

Hip bursitis is inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sac) over the greater trochanter, causing lateral hip pain.

Causes

  • Repetitive stress
  • Poor biomechanics
  • Prolonged pressure (sitting on hard surfaces)
  • Hip muscle imbalances.

Diagnosis

  • Clinical evaluation
  • Palpation of the hip
  • Movement tests
  • Ultrasound or MRI in chronic cases

Treatment

  • Soft tissue mobilization
  • Glute strengthening
  • Stretching
  • Activity modification

Recovery

  • Average Treatment Time: 4–8 weeks
