Hip pain is a common issue, often resulting from conditions like osteoarthritis. Effective management is crucial for maintaining hip function and quality of life.
Hip Osteoarthritis:
Hip osteoarthritis involves the progressive wear and tear of cartilage within the hip joint, primarily due to ageing or abnormal use. Key symptoms include:
- Loss of Range of Motion: Difficulty in moving the hip through its full range
- Stiffness and Pain: Particularly noticeable during activities, which can lead to altered gait, such as limping
