Hip pain can change more than your stride
When walking, sitting, climbing stairs, or exercising becomes uncomfortable, a focused evaluation can help clarify the next step. GPM looks at your history, movement, and goals before discussing care.
What You May Be Noticing
Hip-area concerns may feel like stiffness, aching, catching, or discomfort with walking, getting up from a chair, lying on one side, or returning to exercise. The place you feel pain does not always identify its source, and a symptom list is not a diagnosis.
What Your Evaluation Tells Us
Your symptoms have a story. During a thorough evaluation, we take time to understand how your concern began, your health history, how you move, and what you’re feeling today — so we can build a plan that actually fits you. The vast majority of people we see are a great fit for care here.
What May Be Considered
Your evaluation may lead to a conversation about Sports Medicine, Pain Control, or Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The right starting point depends on your individual presentation; no option or outcome is guaranteed.
Important Boundary
Gilbert Physical Medicine is not an emergency service. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911. For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, including new weakness, numbness, or loss of function, seek prompt medical care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is pain near my hip always coming from the hip joint?
No. Where symptoms are felt does not establish their source. Evaluation helps provide context.
Can I be evaluated if I have already had imaging?
Yes. Bring available records. Your provider will consider them alongside your current history and examination.
Will I receive a fixed exercise plan?
Recommendations depend on the evaluation, goals, tolerance, and progress. GPM does not use one schedule for everyone.
Can you promise I will return to my previous activity level?
No. GPM can provide an honest plan but cannot guarantee a result or timeline.
