The Hip Joint
The acetabulofemoral joint, commonly known as the hip joint, is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of motion. This design provides both mobility and stability, making the hip essential for activities like walking, running, and lifting weights.
The joint is formed by the head of the femur fitting into the acetabulum of the pelvis and is reinforced by strong ligaments and deep layers of muscles that help control movement and absorb force. Surrounding musculature including the glutes, hip flexors, and rotators play a key role in stability, power, and overall movement efficiency.
What Causes Hip Pain
As one of the largest and most load-bearing joints in the body, the hip is built to handle significant stress, but it can still be prone to pain and injury, especially with repetitive activity, strength imbalances, or mobility restrictions. Some common hip conditions we treat are:
Hip flexor strain
Hip impingement
gluteal tendinopathy
IT band syndrome
Arthritis
Piriformis syndrome
groin strain
Bursitis
