Hip pain treatment in Brooklyn, NY
Hip pain is a general term that is used to describe pain that is experienced in the hip joint or around it. There are cases where it’s not felt directly in the hip but rather in the thigh or the groin. It is often caused by a condition or an injury.
One of the most common causes of acute hip pain is believed to be tendonitis. It is a condition that is caused once the tendons become inflamed, which often occurs due to excessive exercise. Although it is a condition that can lead to severe pain, it is also a condition that typically goes away on its own within a couple of days. Chronic hip pain is often caused by arthritis.
Arthritis can make it difficult to walk and can cause stiff joints, tender joints, as well as pain in the joints. There are different types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, infectious arthritis, or a trauma to a joint, such as a fracture. Another condition that often leads to hip pain is trochanteric bursitis. It is a condition that occurs once the bursa becomes inflamed. The bursa is a liquid-filled sac that is found near the hip joint. Different factors can lead to trochanteric bursitides, such as hip injury, overuse of the joints, or posture issues.
A hip fracture is also common, but most commonly affects those who suffer from osteoporosis and are older. Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones, which occurs due to age or other factors. A hip fracture might occur very suddenly and lead to severe hip pain. A fractured hip can also lead to further complications, such as a blood clot that can occur in the leg.
How is hip pain managed?
Treating hip pain depends on what causes the symptom. If your pain is caused by excessive exercise, it might be enough to simply rest. This kind of pain typically goes away on its own within a couple of days.
If you suffer from arthritis, you might need to get prescription medications, which can help to provide relief from stiffness and pain. The doctor might also need to refer you to a physical therapist, who can show you what kind of exercises to do, to keep your joint mobile. In cases of an injury, it can be helpful to rest and take medications, such as naproxen, to provide you with swelling and pain relief.
