If you’ve been quietly putting up with hip pain—hoping it will magically go away—you’re not alone. But the truth is, hip pain can sneak into every part of your life.

Why Hip Pain Happens – And Why It Lingers

Your hip is one of the largest and most important joints in your body. It supports your weight, powers your movement, and keeps you balanced. But it’s also a joint that’s under constant strain, especially if you sit a lot, walk unevenly, or have an old injury that has never fully healed.

Common causes of hip pain include:

Muscle or ligament strain
Joint inflammation (arthritis)
Sciatica or other lower back issues that cause pain to travel into the hip
Postural problems or walking imbalances
Old sports injuries or falls
Wear and tear from ageing or repetitive movement

If left untreated, hip pain can become chronic and start affecting your knees, back, and even your sleep.

FAQ

Q: What causes hip pain in adults?

A: Hip pain can come from a number of sources - osteoarthritis, bursitis, hip flexor strains, labral tears, and referred pain from the lower back are all common culprits. Getting an accurate diagnosis is really important, because the right treatment depends entirely on the cause.

Q: Can hip pain be related to my lower back?

A: Yes, more often than people expect. The lower back, pelvis, and hip all work together as one interconnected system, so a problem in the lumbar spine can easily show up as pain in the hip or buttock - even when the hip itself is perfectly healthy.

Q: How do I know if my hip pain is arthritis or something else?

A: Arthritis typically produces a deep, aching groin pain that gets worse with activity and eases with rest. That said, these symptoms can overlap with other conditions - so a proper clinical examination, and sometimes imaging, is needed to give you a clear answer.

Q: Will I need surgery for hip pain?

A: The vast majority of hip pain gets better without surgery. Our approach at Isleworth Pain & Injury Studio is always conservative first - physiotherapy, manual therapy, and exercise rehabilitation - and this resolves most hip conditions very effectively.

Q: How many sessions will I need to fix hip pain?

A: Mild hip pain often starts to improve meaningfully within 4–8 sessions. More complex cases may take longer. After your initial assessment, your clinician will give you a clear plan with an honest timeline so you know what to expect.

Q: What does physiotherapy for hip pain involve?

A: Hip physiotherapy is about more than just treating the sore spot. We focus on restoring joint mobility, strengthening the muscles around the hip - particularly the glutes and stabilisers - and correcting any movement patterns that are putting extra load on the joint.

Q: Can a chiropractor help with hip pain?

A: Yes. One of the reasons chiropractic works well for hip pain is that we look at the hip, pelvis, and lower back as a whole rather than in isolation. Adjustments and soft tissue work to the relevant joints often make a noticeable difference quite quickly.
