Hip pain does restrain you in many daily activities. It is time for you to have the situation identified by your family physician. Then after your visit, you can see what other therapist can help you to eliminate the hip pain.

The cause can be your spine, some allergies, a scar from an accident or a simple stress situation from the type of chair you sit in for your work at the computer.
