Hip Impingement Explained for Active Adults | Vancouver News

Hip impingement, or femoroacetabular impingement, happens when abnormal hip shape causes bones to pinch during movement, leading to pain, stiffness, and early joint wear—especially in active young adults. Often caused by extra bone growth (cam lesions), it triggers groin or C-shaped pain during deep hip bends, prolonged sitting, or sports. While some have the anatomy without symptoms, persistent pain impacting daily life warrants medical attention. Treatment starts with targeted physical therapy, activity modification, and anti-inflammatories—sometimes surgery for lasting relief. Early diagnosis and proper rehab are key to getting back to motion without pain.
