Hip

It's also common for hip problems to originate in another area of the body first, like your groin, thigh, or buttock. No matter the type of pain you are experiencing, a hip doctor can help diagnose your injury or condition and offer treatment options to provide relief.

You should make an appointment with a hip doctor near you if you notice any of the following symptoms:
