Hip Pain

Hip pain can have a significant impact on your daily mobility, whether you're walking, sitting, or even sleeping. It’s a common issue that doesn’t just affect older adults-athletes, active individuals, and people with certain medical conditions can all experience discomfort in the hips. Because the hip joint supports so much of your body’s weight and movement, pain in this area often stems from wear and tear, inflammation, or underlying joint problems. Left untreated, it can lead to further imbalance in the body, including knee, leg, or foot pain.

At our clinic, we work closely with patients to uncover the root cause of their hip pain and develop a treatment plan that helps restore comfort and function. Whether your symptoms are recent or something you’ve been putting up with for a while, understanding the condition behind your pain is the first step toward relief. Here are some common causes of hip pain that we help patients manage:

  • Hip bursitis is inflammation of fluid sacs causing outer hip pain, treated through foot alignment correction at KL Foot Specialist Podiatry.
