Hip Pain in Anchorage AK

Have you felt pain and tightness in your hip lately? Hip pain in Anchorage AK affects so many movements in everyday life that it can be one of the most frustrating ailments to deal with on a daily basis. It can be commonly found in people who participate in running, hockey, x-country skiing, weight training, crossfit, and a number of other sports. The hip is one of the largest weight bearing joints in the body and is important for a number of everyday activities including walking, running, jumping, sitting, and standing. Often the pain begins without a direct traumatic event and is felt in and around the hip and groin – especially during movement. It can be caused by problems with your muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints and/or the bones. Sometimes the lower back can refer pain to your hip.
