Tendonitis

Sometimes called “snapping hip syndrome,” tendonitis of the hip can be recognized by the snapping or clicking sound the hip makes when performing certain movements. You may also feel pain when bending over or lifting your knees towards your chest. This condition is caused by irritation or inflammation of the hip-flexor tendon, which crosses over the hip socket. Tendonitis may occur as a result of repetitive movement and overuse or as a result of improper stride or walking habits. Treatment options include rest, injections, anti-inflammatory medication, or physical therapy. In more severe cases, minimally invasive surgery can help alleviate discomfort and improve range of motion.
