Hip pain can affect walking, sleep, work, and exercise. It may begin after a fall or sports activity, develop from overuse, or appear without a clear injury. Our clinicians can evaluate many mild to moderate hip complaints the same day.

How We Evaluate Hip Pain

The hip is a stable ball-and-socket joint surrounded by strong muscles, tendons, and bursae. Strain, bursitis, arthritis, or referred back pain are common possibilities. Older adults and people with osteoporosis need prompt assessment after a fall because a fracture may not always be obvious.

Symptoms We Evaluate

  • Groin, outer-hip, buttock, or upper-thigh pain
  • Pain with walking, stairs, standing, or lying on one side
  • Stiffness, reduced motion, or limping
  • Swelling or bruising after an injury
  • Pain associated with lower-back symptoms

Common Causes and Related Conditions

  • Muscle or tendon strain
  • Bursitis or overuse injury
  • Arthritis or joint inflammation
  • Pain referred from the lower back
  • Fracture, dislocation, or other traumatic injury

What to Expect at Your Visit

Our medical team will ask about when the problem started, what makes it better or worse, recent injuries or exposures, current medications, and important medical history. The examination is tailored to your symptoms and may include the following:

  • Gait, tenderness, range-of-motion, and strength examination
  • Review of falls, bone-health risks, fever, and neurologic symptoms
  • Circulation and nerve checks in the leg
  • X-ray or emergency referral when a fracture or serious condition is suspected

When an X-ray, laboratory test, or other service is clinically appropriate and available onsite, our team will explain why it is recommended. If your symptoms require advanced imaging, emergency treatment, or specialty care, we will direct you to the appropriate level of care.

Treatment May Include

  • Activity modification, ice or heat, and pain-relief guidance
  • Temporary mobility support recommendations when appropriate
  • Home-care and follow-up instructions
  • Referral for advanced imaging, orthopedics, or emergency evaluation when needed

Treatment is based on the examination and test results. Antibiotics are prescribed only when a bacterial infection is diagnosed or strongly suspected; they do not treat viral illnesses or noninfectious pain.

When to Seek Emergency Care

Urgent care is appropriate for many mild to moderate symptoms, but some warning signs need emergency evaluation. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for:

  • Inability to stand or bear weight after a fall
  • A shortened, rotated, or visibly deformed leg
  • Severe trauma, uncontrolled pain, or a cold/numb foot
  • Hip pain with fever, severe illness, or rapidly increasing redness/swelling

Frequently Asked Questions

Should hip pain after a fall be checked?

Yes, especially for older adults, people with osteoporosis, or anyone unable to bear weight.

Can back problems cause hip-area pain?

Yes. Lower-back and nerve problems can refer pain toward the buttock, hip, or leg.

Do you treat chronic hip pain?

We can assess a new flare or worsening symptom, while long-term management may require primary care, physical therapy, or orthopedics.
