Hip Pain Treatment Allen, TX
Pain Treatment Institute provides hip pain treatment in Allen, TX at our Allen clinic, 1111 Raintree Cir Ste 170, Allen, TX 75013. Our pain management specialists work to find the source of your hip pain and build a personalized plan to help you walk, sit, and sleep more comfortably.
How Does Pain Treatment Institute Treat Hip Pain in Allen?
Pain Treatment Institute treats hip pain in Allen by first pinpointing where the pain is coming from, whether that is the joint itself, the tendons and bursae around it, or the lower back, then building a plan around your symptoms and goals. Pain in the groin when you stand up, an ache on the outside of the hip when you lie on that side, and pain in the buttock that travels down the leg can each point to a different source.
At our Allen clinic on Raintree Circle, our team focuses on practical goals such as walking farther, getting in and out of the car more easily, and sleeping through the night. You can learn more about the condition on our hip pain page.
When Should You See a Specialist for Hip Pain?
You should see a specialist for hip pain when it lasts more than a few weeks, keeps coming back, or starts to change how you walk, sit, or sleep. Hip pain is easy to work around at first, but limping or favoring one side can put extra strain on the knees and lower back.
Consider scheduling an evaluation if you notice:
- Pain in the groin, outer hip, or buttock that lingers
- Stiffness when you first get up in the morning or after sitting
- Pain when lying on one side at night
- A limp or trouble putting on shoes and socks
- Clicking, catching, or locking in the hip
- Pain that travels into the thigh or knee
What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain is most often caused by arthritis in the hip joint, irritation of the tendons and bursae around the hip, or problems in the lower back that send pain toward the hip. Where you feel the pain, whether in the groin, on the outside of the hip, or in the buttock, offers clues to the cause.
Common causes of hip pain include:
- Hip osteoarthritis: Wear of the cartilage in the joint, often felt as groin pain and stiffness.
- Bursitis: Irritation of the fluid-filled sacs on the outside of the hip, often sore when lying on that side.
- Tendon irritation: Strain or inflammation of the tendons that attach to the hip, common with repetitive activity.
- Labral tears: Damage to the ring of cartilage around the hip socket that can cause catching or clicking.
- Referred pain from the spine: Problems in the lower back or sacroiliac joint that are felt in the hip or buttock.
