What Causes Hip Pain?

Hip pain can come from many different structures around the joint—including the bones, muscles, tendons, and nerves. Sometimes it appears suddenly after an injury, while other times it develops gradually from overuse, arthritis, or age-related changes. Understanding the source of your discomfort is the first step toward lasting relief.

At OrthoBethesda, our hip specialists provide advanced diagnosis and treatment for patients across Bethesda, and Northern Virginia, using state-of-the-art imaging and minimally invasive procedures to pinpoint the cause of pain and guide your recovery.

Some of the most common causes of hip pain include:

• Osteoarthritis and cartilage wear
• Hip impingement (FAI)
• Bursitis or tendon inflammation
• Hip labral tear
• Hip fractures or traumatic injury
• Overuse from sports or repetitive motion

Our orthopedic specialists use on-site X-rays and advanced imaging to pinpoint the source of pain and design a custom treatment plan. Hip pain can have causes that aren’t due to underlying disease. Examples include trauma, lying on a side for a prolonged period, overuse, muscle stiffness, sitting in an awkward position, sprains, or strains.
