Tendonitis can happen to any tendon in your body that gets a lot of use. Over time, the soft tissue reacts to constant activity by becoming swollen and tender, making it difficult to move the joint to which it’s connected. Since there are so many different conditions that can affect your hips, you must receive the correct diagnosis to get the right treatment.

A tendon is a strong cord that attaches muscle to bone. When any tendon in the body is irritated or inflamed, it’s known as tendonitis. Hip tendonitis occurs when tendons attached to the bones in the hip joint are affected. This condition is also called hip flexor tendonitis.
Hip tendonitis is one of several conditions that cause hip pain. You have to get the right diagnosis to receive the most effective tendonitis hip flexor treatment. Possible causes of hip pain include:
In NYC and northern New Jersey, Dr. Amr Hosny and the team of spine specialists at the Spine & Rehab Group is your best bet to obtain an accurate diagnosis and customized treatment of hip pain. These experts also treat related conditions, such as knee pain, back pain and neck pain.
Your hips keep you mobile, but they undergo a lot of wear and tear. Pain in the hip that develops gradually over time may be a sign of hip tendonitis. While tendonitis comes on slowly in most cases, some people experience sudden and severe pain. Other symptoms of hip flexor tendonitis include:
You may experience hip stiffness first thing in the morning or after sleeping or sitting in one position. Pain may subside or lessen during the day, but may intensify late in the day. Seek a diagnosis if these symptoms sound familiar to you.
Tendons become less flexible and prone to injury as you age. A sudden injury can cause hip tendonitis, but the condition is more commonly caused by repetitive movements over time. Examples of factors that can increase the risk of hip tendonitis include:
Exercising without warming up or not using proper techniques also can strain tendons and muscles. Starting a new sport or a new type of exercise or trying to increase your training duration or intensity too quickly can trigger hip tendonitis.
To diagnose tendonitis of the hip, your doctor evaluates your hip’s range of motion, joint stability, and flexibility. You may need to have imaging tests done, such as an x-ray or MRI, to help your doctor arrive at an accurate diagnosis and to check for other problems, such as a hip fracture or torn tendon in the hip caused by an accident or sports injury.
Your Spine & Rehab doctor always prefers interventional therapies to treat hip flexor tendonitis that may include:
If your discomfort doesn’t improve with these methods, your spine doctor may recommend that you have a corticosteroid injection. This type of injection can work quickly to decrease pain and inflammation and may relieve pain for a few months. Surgery is rarely recommended for hip tendonitis.
I hobbled in to The Spine & Rehab Group with terrible hip and back pain and they nursed me back to health after thoughtfully listening to my issues. They were patient and gentle and gave great exercises for me to do at home. I highly recommend.
Annika Colston ★★★★★I saw Dr. Chu after getting hurt while working out. Due to the circumstances of my injury, he immediately recommended that I have x-rays. And I later learned that I had hip tendonitis. He helped me resume weightlifting in the gym after the diagnosis, and I have now returned to full strength without any problems. His supervision spared me from far more catastrophic damage and I am forever thankful. I can't express how much I appreciate his services and The Spine and Rehab.
Edwin CastilloIf you’re having symptoms of hip tendonitis, don’t ignore the pain. If you don’t receive tendonitis hip flexor treatment, you may end up with complications such as a loss of your hip flexibility. Untreated tendonitis can also lead to the development of tendinosis, a serious condition that involves degenerative changes in the tendon.
