Hip impingement is a condition in which the bones of the hip joint are abnormally shaped and collide with each other when moving. This can cause pain and restricted movement. Treatment may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases surgery to correct the anatomical abnormalities.

disc prolapse
Impingement of the hip joint can occur due to anatomical deviations or overuse, causing the femoral head and acetabulum to rub together.

Treatment for hip impingement can be conservative and include physical therapy exercises to improve hip mobility and stability. Pain-relieving medications can be taken in consultation with a doctor. In severe cases, surgery to remove excess bone or repair damage may be necessary. An orthopedist can discuss the best course of action.
