Painful Hip Solutions in Florida

Dr. Darin Bush directs Fort Lauderdale, FL's Mobility Spine and Sports clinic. Chronic pain is never a good thing, and there is always an underlying problem as to why you have chronic pain.

Chronic pain robs you of your quality of life at work, at home, and when you want to have fun. Chronic pain can be downright debilitating. Chronic pain always has underlying causes. Our office sees many patients complaining of painful hips, so our doctor will talk about this and why you may have chronic pain.

Painful Hip, Nerve Compression, Sciatica and Beyond 

Pain in particular areas of the body can also be referred to as pain in your hip, which may not have anything to do with a hip problem. Mobility Spine and Sports Clinic in Fort Lauderdale, FL, explains that hip pain could stem from elsewhere in your body. 

Nerve compression, a pinched nerve, could cause painful hips. A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure on the nerve interrupts the ability of the nerve to function normally.  

You could feel the pain directly in your hip when you have pain elsewhere. For example, you could feel pain in the thigh or groin areas. You could experience painful hips due to arthritis, inflammation of tendons, or a fracture in the hip. 

Sciatica pain is common and results from irritation at the root of your lower lumbar spine. The sciatic nerve is large and travels from the lower back down the back of each leg. Sciatic pain is sudden and sharp, stops you in your tracks, can create a painful hip, and usually affects either side of the body. It may go away as quickly as it came or linger, making walking painful. This pain can start with an injury or present itself as you age.  

The following things can contribute to sciatic pain,  

• You are a senior 
• Have diabetes 
• Over your ideal body weight range 
• Lead a sedentary lifestyle 
• Wear high heels 
• Sleep on a mattress that is too firm or soft 
• Smoke 
• Sit or stand long periods 
• Twisting motions to your back 
• Constantly carrying heavy loads 
• Constantly lift incorrectly 

Our doctor must assess your symptoms and pain and do a physical exam. He will ask you questions about weakness, numbness, and what makes the pain worse. He will question you about your daily routine and lifestyle. Treatment is usually via non-invasive treatments, such as osteopathic manipulation, neuromuscular reeducation, interventional injections, and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma).
