Hip Labral Tears: Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
The hip labrum stabilizes the joint and helps distribute load. When torn, it can cause persistent pain and loss of confidence in movement.
Common Symptoms of a Labral Tear
- Groin pain with walking
- Clicking or catching in the hip
- Pain with twisting or pivoting
- Stiffness after sitting
- Feeling of instability
Why Labral Tears Are Missed
Symptoms often blend with those of hip flexor strains, hernias, and low back pain. Without a detailed exam, tears may go undiagnosed for months.
Conservative Care
- Hip mobility work
- Glute strengthening
- Core stabilization
- Activity modification
Regenerative Orthopedic Options
Biologic treatments may help strengthen supporting tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve hip stability without surgery.
