What is Hip Pain?
The hip joint is one of the human body's largest and most important weight‒bearing joints. It's a classic ball-and-socket joint, where the femoral head fits securely into the pelvic socket, allowing for a wide range of motion during walking, bending, or rotating.
Because it supports the upper body during nearly all movement, the hip is highly vulnerable to damage from impact, overuse, or degeneration. Pain may arise from irritated soft tissues, damaged cartilage, hip fractures, or underlying conditions like arthritis or a labral tear.
While some soreness may resolve with rest, severe hip pain or discomfort that lingers often signals a more complex issue. Identifying the exact cause early can help avoid complications and lead to better treatment outcomes.

Symptoms We Address with Hip Pain Treatment
Patients seek care for hip pain—including severe hip pain—when symptoms interfere with walking, movement, or sleep. You may benefit from treatment if you're experiencing:
Dull or sharp hip pain in the groin, outer hip, or buttock
Pain radiating down the leg
Difficulty standing, walking, or climbing stairs
Clicking, locking, or grinding during movement
Hip stiffness or reduced range of motion
Weakness or instability on one side
Pain after sitting or lying in one position for too long
Postural changes or limping
Tenderness or swelling around the joint
Many of these issues affect the hip joint, a ball and socket joint formed by the femoral head and the hip bone, which plays a critical role in stability and movement.

Hip Pain FAQs
Is walking good for an injured hip?
In some cases, gentle walking can help maintain circulation and reduce stiffness—but it depends on the nature of the condition. For certain cases, rest or movement modification may be necessary to avoid aggravating damaged tissue. If pain increases while walking, it's best to pause activity and seek professional guidance.
How do I get rid of hip pain ASAP?
Fast relief often starts with simple measures like applying ice packs, limiting high-impact activities, and using supportive seating. In acute flare-ups, short-term symptomatic relief strategies can ease pressure and inflammation while you schedule a full evaluation.
What is the best over-the-counter medicine for hip pain?
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, are commonly used to manage hip pain. These options may help reduce swelling and discomfort temporarily, but if symptoms persist, further evaluation may be needed to target the underlying condition.
Where do you go for a hip injury?
The best place to start is with a provider experienced in treating hip injuries, such as a chiropractor, physical therapist, or pain management specialist. At Core Medical Center, we evaluate your condition and offer care options designed to support recovery and reduce long-term strain.
