Hip

Whether we're sitting, standing, walking, bending - working in the garden, reading a book, doing yoga, or returning a backhand on the tennis court - our hips play a fundamental role in our daily function.

That's why receiving proper diagnosis and treatment of hip conditions and injuries - because we shouldn't have to experience pain in our everyday undertakings - is so important.

Understanding the Hip:

The hip is one of the most important joints in the body, connecting the thighbone to the trunk. It consists of a cup-and-ball-like joint that bears our body's weight and allows for a great deal of motion in a variety of directions.

People of varying ages and lifestyles are susceptible to dozens of different hip conditions and diseases, including: dislocations, hip pointers, osteoarthritis, and bursitis.

DID YOU KNOW? The hip joint is one of the most commonly affected large joints in the body by osteoarthritis, which can painfully impact a person's ability to walk, perform common household activities, and even sit.
