The hips are engaged in nearly every way we move. In fact, the hip is the largest ball and socket joint in the body. The cartilage inside the socket absorbs friction caused by movements. As we get older, our joints and muscles have a more difficult time moving as fluid and effortlessly. Hip pain can have debilitating consequences. It’s important to be aware of the possible preventative measures and treatments that are available.
What Causes Hip Pain?
There are several reasons why someone may experience problems and pain in the hip joint. Some common reasons include:
Age
Age can cause natural wear and tear of the cartilage.
Overuse
Overuse may cause gradual wearing away of the cartilage in the hip joint.
Injury
Accidents and injuries can shatter or break the hip bone, which can cause debilitating pain and discomfort.
