Hip concerns
A hip problem is more than a location of pain.
Wear, injury, fracture, inflammation, and problems outside the hip can create similar discomfort. The history, examination, and available studies are used to understand the cause.
Stiffness or loss of function
Difficulty putting on shoes, climbing stairs, walking, or returning to activities may be reasons to seek an assessment.
