What is hip osteoarthritis?

Hip osteoarthritis is a type of degenerative condition that affects the hip joints, which are composed of a socket in the pelvis and a ball at the top of the femur bone. As this condition progresses, cartilage wears away from the joint surface and causes increased friction between these bones. This excessive friction can lead to swelling and extreme pain due to inflammation.

What are the symptoms of hip osteoarthritis?

Some of the common symptoms associated with hip osteoarthritis include stiffness in the hips, difficulty walking, and problems moving your leg. Pain located around the joint may be sharp and occur during or after movement. As the condition progresses, you may experience swelling in your hips and groin area, as well as limited range of motion. In some cases, x-rays will show bony growths forming around the edges of the hip joint called osteophytes. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is recommended to receive medical evaluation so that an appropriate treatment plan can be determined.

What are the treatments for hip osteoarthritis?

Treatments for hip osteoarthritis vary in approach depending on the severity of the symptoms. They can range from chiropractic manipulation, physiotherapy exercises and massage therapy to medication and lifestyle modifications. For example, working with a chiropractor can help decrease pain in the hip joint caused by stress or strain. Physiotherapy provides exercises such as stretching and strengthening to reduce joint immobility, improve posture and increase dexterity of the hip joint. Massage therapy helps to reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation and relax sore muscles.
