Overview

Hip pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages. It can arise from many different structures—the hip joint itself, the surrounding muscles, tendons, ligaments, or the nerves that run through the area. In older adults, hip osteoarthritis is the most common cause; in younger people, it’s often from muscle strain or overuse.
