disc prolapse
Coxarthrosis occurs when the cartilage in the hip joint wears away. This can be caused by age, injuries or genetics.

Treatment of coxarthrosis includes pain relief with medications, particularly NSAIDs. Weight management is crucial because being overweight increases stress on the hip joint. Physical therapy can provide exercises to strengthen hip muscles and improve mobility. If osteoarthritis progresses, a hip replacement may be considered. An orthopedist can discuss the best course of action and perform regular exams.
