Your hips and knees have carried your weight throughout your daily activities all these years, and as time goes on, they accumulate degeneration. Both hip and knee joints are essential for many everyday activities, such as walking, running, and climbing stairs.

The hip joint is where your thigh bone (femur) meets your pelvis. It is a ball-and-socket joint that allows you to move your leg in various directions, such as forward and backward, side to side, and in a circular motion. The joint is surrounded by muscles, ligaments, and tendons that help support and stabilize it.

There are many possible causes of hip pain, including osteoarthritis, hip fractures, bursitis, tendinitis, and other conditions. Other factors that can contribute to hip pain include overuse, poor posture, and muscle imbalances. Symptoms of hip pain can vary depending on the underlying cause but may include stiffness, weakness, and difficulty walking or standing.

The knee joint is where your thigh bone (femur) meets your shin bone (tibia). It is a hinge joint that allows your leg to bend and straighten. The joint is also supported by muscles, ligaments, and tendons that help stabilize it.

Knee pain is another common condition that affects many people. There are many possible causes of knee pain, including osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries, tendinitis, and other conditions. Other factors that can contribute to knee pain include overuse, poor posture, and muscle imbalances. Symptoms of knee pain can vary depending on the underlying cause but may include swelling, stiffness, weakness, and difficulty walking or standing.

If you are experiencing hip or knee pain, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Clinical assessment from our team and appropriate imaging (MRI, CT or X-rays) will help to identify the cause of your pain.
