The hip joint is the most important joint of the human body. It allows us to walk, run, and jump. The hip joint not only bears the entire body’s weight; it is also one of the most flexible joints, allowing a great range of motion. However, despite its durability, the joint is not indestructible. Age and overuse can cause wear and tear or the joint may get damaged causing pain. Hip fracture, particularly in elderly people can occur due to the result of a fall or other injuries.
Managing hip pain
- Activate your muscles by starting your day with regular exercises
- Ice your inflamed joints four to five times daily for 10–15 minutes
- Swimming and water aerobics help lower the pain
- Avoid high impact activities as they can worsen the symptoms
- Losing weight can help offset pressure on the joint and relieve hip pain
- If your hip hurts during a certain exercise, stop immediately
