The hip is not only one of your body’s biggest joints, but it is also one of the most essential to your mobility. When the hip joint experiences an injury or wear and tear over time, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and problems with range-of-motion. In turn, this may significantly impact the way you move, walk, and perform even the simplest tasks. Whether you need hip arthritis treatment, solutions to reduce hip joint pain, or a surgical option for addressing your symptoms, it is important to consult with an expert orthopedic physician.
