It’s
true; the hip bone is connected to the knee bone, and the knee bone is connected to
the? You guessed it: foot bone. You don’t need to take a fall to hurt your
hip. Hip pain can be caused by arthritis, an injury, a pinched nerve, faulty
biomechanics, or from other problems such as osteoporosis. Where you’re
experiencing hip pain can help to pinpoint its cause, and ultimately help to
find the best treatment. If you are experiencing pain in the outside of your
hip, upper thigh, or outer buttock, it is usually caused by problems with the
muscles, ligaments, tendons that surround the hip joint. If the pain is in the
inside of your hip or groin that usually points to problems within the hip
joint itself. Hip pain can also be caused by conditions in other areas of your
body, such as your lower back. Of course the nature of your hip pain, whether
it be hip pain when walking or hip pain that only occurs at night, will help to
determine treatment. If you’re experiencing hip pain, and want to know if
custom orthotic inserts could be your solution, give us a call to set up an
exam. Custom orthotics
help provide better biomechanics and shock-absorption, making the weight
bearing structures in the foot, ankle, knee and hip function with greater ease.
