Hip Pain Relief in New York City

Your hips are essential for walking, running, squatting, and nearly every daily movement. When pain strikes, it can take you out of your normal routine and limit your mobility. At Dynamic Physical Therapy NYC, our licensed therapists help patients across New York identify the source of hip pain, relieve discomfort, and restore strength and stability without relying on medications or unnecessary surgery.

What causes hip pain?

Hip pain can result from dysfunction of the joint itself or from related issues in the lower back, spine, or surrounding muscles. Our expert physical therapists evaluate hip motion, muscle flexibility, and strength to identify the cause of your pain. Based on this assessment, we create a personalized recovery plan to improve strength, restore range of motion, and rebuild weight bearing ability for a safe return to activity.

Common contributors include:

  • Age related changes and natural wear and tear
  • Overuse of tendons and soft tissues
  • Irritation of the bursa (bursitis)
  • Nerve impingement in the hip or lower back
  • Sports injuries or repetitive strain

Other possible causes of hip pain

  • Herniated, compressed, or protruding discs
  • Spondylosis or spondylolisthesis
  • Muscle strain or weakness in the core and back
  • Poor posture when sitting or standing
  • Fractures from trauma or falls

How long does hip pain last?

Some minor hip pain may resolve with rest, but persistent or worsening pain should not be ignored. Continuing to push through discomfort can lead to greater injury. If hip pain lasts for two weeks or longer, or if sharp or dull pain interferes with daily activity, it is best to consult a physical therapist. Ongoing pain may indicate the start of a chronic condition that requires professional care.

Should I keep exercising with hip pain?

Staying active is important, but the type and intensity of activity should be guided by a professional. Our therapists in New York City will assess hip alignment, posture, walking pattern, and joint mobility to design the safest plan for you. Treatment may include:

  • Manual therapy to ease stiffness and restore motion
  • Activity modification to reduce aggravating movements
  • Core and hip strengthening exercises
  • Range of motion and flexibility training
  • Use of modalities such as clinical ultrasound or interferential current therapy
  • Graded exposure to activities that previously caused pain
  • Patient education for long term hip health
