Referred Hip Pain Physiotherapy in Singapore

What is Referred Hip Pain?

Referred hip pain is when pain is felt in the hip, groin, or upper thigh but originates from another area—most commonly the lower back (lumbar spine).

You may experience hip pain without a direct injury, especially if the pain changes with back movement or posture.

If you are looking for referred hip pain physiotherapy in Singapore, ACE Physio Sports can help.

Causes

Referred hip pain is usually caused by nerve or spine-related issues.

Common causes include:

• Lumbar spine disc problems (slipped disc)
• Nerve compression in the lower back
• Arthritis in the spine (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)
• Muscle tightness in the lower back or pelvis
• Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
• Trauma or injury to the spine

These conditions can cause nerves to send pain signals to the hip region.

Symptoms

Symptoms often feel deep and difficult to localise.

You may experience:

• Pain in the hip or groin without injury
• Pain spreading from lower back to hip
• Pins and needles around hip or thigh
• Numbness in hip or upper leg
• Weakness in the hip or leg
• Sharp or shooting pain in severe cases
• Stiffness in hip movement
• Difficulty walking (gait problems)

Common search-friendly symptoms:

• hip pain coming from lower back
• groin pain without injury
• pain in hip when walking but back problem
• numbness in hip area
• pain spreading from back to hip

What Should I Do?

• Seek professional assessment early
• Observe if pain changes with back movement
• Stay gently active if tolerable
• Get imaging (MRI/X-ray) if recommended

Accurate diagnosis is key to treating the root cause.

What Shouldn’t I Do?

• Do not ignore persistent hip or groin pain
• Avoid self-diagnosing as a hip injury
• Do not continue activities that worsen symptoms
• Avoid prolonged poor posture

Treating only the hip without addressing the source can delay recovery.
