Hip pain
Our physiotherapists at Manchester Physio in Sale regularly treat people with hip pain.
What causes hip pain?
Hip pain is common and there can be a number of causes, including:
- Arthritis
- Trochanteric bursitis
- Muscle strain
- Osteonecrosis
- Snapping hip syndrome
- Stress fracture
- Tendonitis
- Hip fracture
- Referred pain from the lumbar spine
Making an accurate diagnosis is therefore crucial so treatment is directed at the root cause.
What to expect when you come to Manchester Physio?
