What is Hip Pain?
Hip pain refers to sensations of discomfort in the hips brought about by injuries, arthritis, and other conditions. Hip pain can be more serious than other forms of joint pain, as it can impact things as crucial as your ability to walk. In many cases, people resort to hip replacement surgery in order to get relief.
If you're experiencing hip pain but want to avoid surgery, consider scheduling an appointment with a provider trained in the GAINSWave® protocol. Our unique treatment method uses shockwave therapy to help heal joint pain and improve injury recovery.

Common Causes of Hip Pain
Understanding the potential causes of hip pain can help you prevent it in the future. For those already experiencing hip problems, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify what may have caused your condition.
Hip pain is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
Arthritis
When the cartilage in the joints is worn down, it causes pain whenever those joints are used.
Bursitis
When the fluid‒filled sacs in the joints, called the bursa, become swollen and irritated, it can cause pain to spread through the body.
Injuries
Injuries can cause fractures or broken bones. Once someone has suffered an injury to their hips, it makes them more prone to developing other joint problems in the future.
Structural Conditions
Some people are born with structural abnormalities that make them more prone to hip pain.
