Diseases active in other areas of your body, like those that cause lower back pain, can lead to hip flexor pain.

But when the discomfort is in the groin area, you may have hip joint pain emanating from inside the joint.

Hip Flexor Pain Treatment in NYC

Before your New York City sports and pain management team of doctors can build a hip pain treatment plan for you, they have to diagnose the cause and discover the source of your discomfort. Whether the hip joint pain is caused by an injury, age-related degeneration, overuse or an accident, your physician can best determine your exact cause with a detailed medical history. Tell your Manhattan doctor:

• When the hip joint pain started
• What you were doing when you first noticed the pain
• When it hurts the most
• What helps it feel better
• What steps you've taken to reduce the pain

In addition to your description of the pain, your New York hip pain doctor may run tests before deciding on treatment for hip pain that targets you specifically.

Tests to properly diagnose a hip pain may include:

• X-rays
• Ultrasound
• MRI or CT scans
• Blood tests
• Physical exam with a focus on your gait, seated posture and stance
