Hip Pain

Hip pain can come in many different forms and can range from mild to severe and debilitating. At Jersey Integrative Health and Wellness, the team evaluates your hip pain and any other symptoms in order to find out what’s causing it. Your hip pain might come with:

• Limping
• Swelling around your hip
• Pain in your groin
• Warmth
• Stiffness
• Tenderness

Some hip pain is acute, or short-lived. This type often goes away with home care and rest if it isn’t too severe. Another type of hip pain is chronic, or long-lasting. This could be the result of an old injury or an underlying long-term condition. In any case, the team at Jersey Integrative Health and Wellness finds the cause and forms an appropriate treatment plan for you.

There are numerous potential causes of hip pain, many of which are easier to identify than others. For example, if you fell down the stairs and hurt your hip in the process, you know that you have some kind of injury in your hip region.

Other causes require the help of a doctor to find. You might experience a gradual worsening of pain or discomfort in your hip until you can’t bear it any longer. After some investigation, the team at Jersey Integrative Health and Wellness might find that your hip pain is linked to:

• Arthritis
• Bone fracture
• Bursitis
• Muscle strain
• Tumors
• Infections (e.g., shingles, Lyme disease)

Treating the underlying cause of your hip pain usually eases the symptoms. However, if your pain is particularly severe or doesn’t go away with treatment for your condition, the team at Jersey Integrative Health and Wellness can provide treatments specifically for the pain.
