What Are Causes of Hip Injuries?

Hip pain can result from various factors:

  • Injuries: Falls, sports injuries, or accidents can cause fractures, dislocations, or muscle strains.

  • Overuse: Repetitive movements, especially in athletes, can lead to conditions like bursitis or tendinopathy.

  • Age-Related Changes: Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis or reduced cartilage can cause chronic pain.

  • Structural Issues: Hip dysplasia or impingement can cause joint irritation.

  • Secondary Causes: Pain can stem from referred sources like the lower back or pelvis​.
