The majority of the adults in the U.S. population close to 60%) are living with pain. One of the most debilitating types of joint pain involves the hip joint. Sports injury, trauma, sprain or strain, overuse, and misuse results in hip and pelvis stiffness, decreased flexibility, poor posture, and chronic pain. If the pain is concentrated at the area of the hip, upper thigh, or lateral buttock region, then this may indicate an issue with the muscles, ligaments, Tendons, and other soft tissues around the hip joint.

Causes of Hip Pain
