The image of a damaged hip, like the one accompanying this story, often has an immediate impact. You don’t need to be a doctor to sense that something is wrong. That red circle highlighting the hip joint is a visual warning that encapsulates a problem much larger than it appears at first glance. Behind that image lies pain, physical limitations, fear of movement, and, in many cases, a radical change in the life of the person affected.
Talking about the hip means talking about one of the key parts of the human body. It’s the joint that allows us to walk, sit, stand, turn, maintain our balance, and basically move freely. When the hip fails, everything becomes complicated. Everyday activities like getting out of bed, climbing a step, or even standing for a few minutes can become a real challenge.

Many people associate hip problems solely with old age, but the reality is that this isn’t always the case. While it’s true that bones lose density and strength with age, there are many factors that can affect this area of the body. These range from diseases like osteoporosis to injuries, falls, overuse, poor posture, or even a poor diet over time.
