Frequently asked questions
What are common causes of hip pain?
Arthritis, muscle or tendon strain, and bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sac that cushions the hip joint) are among the most common causes of hip pain. Your clinician reviews how the pain started and its exact location to help narrow this down.
When does hip pain need urgent or in-person care?
Sudden, severe pain after a fall, inability to bear weight, or visible deformity needs prompt in-person evaluation rather than continued video follow-up. Your clinician can help you decide over video whether this level of concern applies.
How can I tell if it's coming from my hip or my back?
Hip pain often centers on the groin or outer hip, while back-related pain more commonly radiates down the leg — your clinician can help distinguish the two. Getting this distinction right matters for choosing the right treatment approach. Your clinician asks detailed questions to help sort out exactly where it's coming from.
Will I need imaging?
This depends on how your symptoms fit together — a fall or sudden onset points toward imaging sooner, while gradual pain often starts with a trial of conservative treatment first. Most hip pain improves with conservative treatment before imaging is ever needed.
What side effects are associated with hip pain treatments?
Physical therapy carries minimal risk beyond temporary soreness; anti-inflammatory medications, if used, can affect the stomach or kidneys with prolonged use. Your clinician will weigh these risks against how much relief the treatment provides.
