Get local Treatment for your Hip Pain
Even the most straightforward actions can become excruciatingly painful when dealing with hip discomfort.
The natural, effective pain management alternatives provided by All American Medical can help you move how you want to, no matter how your hip pain manifests itself.
What causes Hip Pain?
- Tendonitis is the most prevalent cause of acute hip discomfort.
- Arthritis can cause pain, stiff and tender joints, and difficulty walking.
- Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the joints caused by the degradation of the cartilage that protects them with age.
- The joint’s cartilage loss is caused by infection.
- An attack on the joints by the body’s immune system results in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- Rheumatoid arthritis is less common compared to osteoarthritis but still affects many people.
- Bursitis of the trochanter
- Trochanteric bursitis is another possibility for hip pain. When the bursa, a fluid-filled sac near the hip joint, gets inflamed, this condition is known as bursitis.
- Injuries to the hip, overuse of the joints, or poor posture are all potential causes of trochanteric bursitis.
- In those with osteoporosis, the weakening of the bones, possibly from hormonal changes, vitamin deficiencies, or lack of weight-bearing exercise, can increase the risk of hip fractures following trauma.
When should I seek emergency care?
If you have hip discomfort that persists for more than a few days, you can come to see us and we can devise a strategy to treat your pain.
This hip discomfort can include one or more of the following:
- swelling
- tenderness
- soreness
- warmth
- redness
If you experience any of the following, you may have a more serious issue:
- deformity or severe bruising
- severe pain and swelling
- symptoms in other parts of the body
- symptoms that persist longer than a few days or get worse instead of better
- other health conditions that could complicate healing
- signs of infection, such as a fever
Septic arthritis, an infection of the joints, is a possible cause of these symptoms. If not managed, septic arthritis can lead to malformed joints and osteoarthritis.
If you feel you might have septic arthritis or are experiencing severe symptoms, please get in touch with your primary care physician or visit the emergency room.
