Why It Happens

Your hips and knees work as a team. So does their pain.

Your hips and knees absorb constant impact, and without proper strength and balance they wear down. Muscle weakness and tightness throw off alignment and overload the joints. Even a small difference in leg length adds stress to your knees and pelvis.

Running, jumping, and heavy lifting wear on protective tissue, and without enough recovery that strain builds into chronic pain. Over the years, cartilage loss and arthritis add stiffness and restrict motion. Our evaluation pinpoints which of these is behind your pain.

Questions, Answered

What people ask about hip and knee pain.

Your hip and knee share muscle and nerve connections. If one is weak or stiff, the other compensates, which leads to stress and pain.

The sciatic nerve runs from the lower spine through the hip and down the leg. Joint problems or tight muscles can compress it and cause radiating pain.

If you have swelling or restricted movement after a fall, get evaluated to rule out serious damage. If pain lasts for weeks despite rest, treatment helps prevent further joint problems and supports a quicker recovery.
