“What might be causing my hip pain?”
I am 35 years old, and I have some pain in my hips. This happens very often, and I'm not really sure what's causing this type of pain. What usually causes hip pain for men, and how can I treat it?

It’s difficult to say without examining the area and taking a full history, but poor posture and improper lifting form is a common cause of pain.
Your hip pain can be caused injury, and/or vertebral subluxation, (pinched nerves) where the nerves do feed the hips.
Unfortunately that is not a simple question to answer. Hip problems can vary anywhere between minor muscle/ligament strains or tendonitis, all the way up to arthritis (yes a 35 year old can have arthritis) or hip dysplasia. Your best best it to have a chiropractic evaluation and possibly some x-rays to find the source of the problem.
Tight muscles: stretch, sit less.
Hip pain can present for a variety of reasons. At your age, I would not expect arthritis, but more of a biomechanical problem related to alignment or muscular imbalance of the hips. You should have an exam that includes X-rays to make sure there is no bony pathology and functional testing to find the reason for your pain. In the mean time, try stretching, ibuprofen and ice if you can take ibu.
I hope you find relief soon.

Hip pain can result from overuse injuries(repetitive type actions), muscle strain, muscle imbalances, lower back pain and/or dysfunction, sacroilliac dysfunction, obesity, tear of the labrum, bursitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (more common in women) over weight training. Pain in your knees, gait disturbance, ankle/foot pain can also attribute to hip pain.
To treat hip pain: rest, OT NSAIDs, stretching, swimming, and cycling can help with flexibility, and long axis traction of the hip. If you don't get relief you may need to seek medical attention for full work-up such as X-ray, MRI, and blood work.

Hip pain can be caused by many different things depending on your level of activity and the exercises that you do if you have a sedentary life it can be caused by other things you will definitely need a full evaluation and more of a history to tell you exactly what is causing this there can be a large Spectrum of reasons why you have hip pain many times it is a muscle imbalance that is the culprit to your pain
Hello there. There are a variety of potential causes - this type of hip pain could be due to a muscle strain at the hip, a tear in the labrum of the hip (hip cartilage), the beginnings of osteoarthritis (OA) in the hip, and/or muscle imbalances and misalignments in the pelvic region (which create a tilted pelvis and an abnormal gait pattern).
It could be either a problem with the hips or a problem coming from the spine or even possibly a problem coming from the feet.
There are several possibilities of hip pain in men. Unfortunately, I am unable to let you know what it is unless there is an examination. A chiropractor can do a detailed exam to help find the exact underlying cause to the hip pain. What can you do presently to help...ICE. If you use a gel pack, make sure to place it in a pillowcase and apply the cold therapy to the site for 20 minutes and then let the area rest for 20 minutes. You may repeat this procedure as long as needed.
It could be: Arthritis, bursitis, tight piriformis, tight tensor fasciae latae, tight psoas, misalignment of the pubic symphisis, misalignment of the sacrum, misalignment of the lumbar spine or some combination of the above. The point is, there are many possibilities. It is best to get evaluated by someone who can deal with all those possibilities and correct them. Like a chiropractor. Or you can get some meds from the doctor, turn your warning signal off and not feel the pain anymore.
This depends a lot on the exact location of pain, the type of pain, and when and how the pain began. I recommend getting an exam at your local chiropractor's office to identify what is causing your pain. They can also provide treatment to alleviate your pain.
The best advice forward is to get set up with a chiropractor who can examine your hip pain and determine where it's coming from.
An X-ray or MRI are needed to find the cause
