Hip Disorders
Hip disorders refer to a range of conditions that affect the hip joint, which connects the thigh bone to the pelvis. Common issues include hip arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis, which can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. These disorders may result from injury, overuse, or age-related wear and tear.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs. Treatment options vary based on the specific disorder and severity, including physical therapy, medications, or in some cases, surgery. Early intervention can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
