Hip Osteoarthritis

Wear and thinning of the cartilage lining the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, especially with weight-bearing.

Wear on the joint's cushioning cartilage.

Osteoarthritis in the hip develops as the cartilage covering the ball of the femur and the socket of the pelvis gradually wears down. Pain is often more severe with weight-bearing on the affected leg.

Range of motion becomes limited, particularly with internal rotation and hip extension, movements needed for walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of a car.

Recent research supports joint mobilization and stretching as effective, non-surgical ways to provide meaningful pain relief and preserve function.
