What causes knee and hip pain? Knee and hip pain occur when the joints and muscles surrounding those areas lack their normal function. If the joint isn’t functioning properly, it can alter one’s mobility, which will increase pressure on the area. This can cause the area to become inflamed, thus resulting in pain. If you are experiencing hip pain, it is likely that there is a problem with your hip joint. When this happens, you will experience pain inside of your hip, or in your groin area. If you are experiencing pain outside of your hip, in your upper thigh, or buttock region, then
it is likely that there is a problem with the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or soft tissues surrounding the hip joint. Regardless of where the pain is stemming from, hip pain is typically caused by injury or strain to the jointorsurrounding regions;however, thepaincan alsobedue toanunderlyingdisease,suchasarthritis. If you are experiencing knee pain, there is a good chance the pain is rooted in your kneecap or patella. Every time you bend your knee, your kneecap needs enough space to move up and down between your femurboneand thebendofyourknee.Unfortunately, if this area becomes inflamed, then the tissues surrounding the kneecap will become tighter, and the kneecap will not have as much space to move. It will try to squeeze through the inflamed padding, causing pain in the knee, and causing the padding to grow thicker and more irritated. When this happens, the joint fluid inside your knee will begin to dry out, resulting in more friction and pain. Experience pain relief by contacting us today!
Did an excellent job helping me to rebuild strength! "Coming to Peak Motion at first I was really nervous, but all the staff were quick to make me feel at home and comfortable. I have so many great memories and never any bad ones. Even when I would come in having a bad day at least one person was able to put a smile on my face. Now that I have enjoyed this great experience I have decided I would like to become a PT in the future.” - Cole H. PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT
