Hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), occurs when there is abnormal contact between the hip joint's ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum). This irregular movement can cause the bones to rub together, leading to joint damage and irritation over time. It often develops from structural abnormalities in the hip or repetitive movements, especially in athletes and active individuals.
Hip pain referred from the low back occurs when irritation or compression of nerves in the lower spine causes pain to radiate into the hip region. This often happens due to conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica, which can cause nerve signals to be misinterpreted as hip discomfort. While the source of the pain is in the low back, the symptoms are felt in the hip or surrounding areas.
Hip bursitis is the inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint and reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles. The most common type, trochanteric bursitis, occurs on the outer part of the hip, often due to overuse, repetitive movements, injury, or prolonged pressure on the hip. It is more common in active individuals or those with underlying joint issues, such as arthritis.
