Best treatment for your hip complaints

Hip complaints are a common problem in both young and older people. The complaints can manifest themselves as locally felt pain or irritation, but can also radiate to other parts of the body. Because the original location is not always clear, it is important to have it investigated whether it indeed comes from the hip and what the causes are. This can affect the treatment.

Radiation in hip complaints

Hip complaints can radiate to other parts of the body, such as the buttocks, the thigh or even the knee. It is important to determine the cause of the radiating pain in hip complaints, because this can influence the treatment. For example, a hernia will require different treatment than hip osteoarthritis. Proper diagnosis and treatment can help reduce pain and improve mobility.
