My Hip or Buttock Hurts
Buttock/hip pain can be SI joint, piriformis/nerve entrapment, or hip joint. Where it hurts and what triggers it give clues.
Clues by location
- Near dimple/back of pelvis → SI joint.
- Deep buttock + tingling down leg → piriformis/nerve.
- Groin pain or clicking → hip joint.
What helps short-term
- Avoid prolonged sitting; change positions often.
- Hip hinge when bending to unload the back.
- Gentle hip mobility and walking within comfort.
Get evaluated if pain radiates down the leg, you feel weakness, or pain is persistent.
How we treat
- Circulation HD for nerve/fascial entrapment.
- Circulation PT for hip stability, SI joint control, and gait training.
