Anterior Hip Pain Explained: What You Need to Know
Why Understanding What Causes Anterior Hip Pain Matters
What causes anterior hip pain often boils down to these common culprits:
Hip flexor and muscle strains
Tendonitis or "iliopsoas syndrome"
Labral tears of the hip joint
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
Hip arthritis (especially osteoarthritis)
Stress fractures in the hip bones
Nerve issues, like entrapment or referred pain from the lower back
It's easy to assume your hip pain is arthritis, but as research by the American Academy of Family Physicians notes, "Anterior hip pain is a common problem that is frequently difficult to diagnose and treat." The reality is anterior hip pain is a bit sneaky—it can come from several different sources, often due to activity-related muscle strains, joint issues, or even nerve problems. That's why pinpointing exactly what's behind your discomfort matters.

Understanding Anterior Hip Anatomy
Before we dive deeper into what causes anterior hip pain, let's take a quick and friendly tour through your hip anatomy. I promise—this will be much simpler than med school!
Your hip joint is pretty amazing. It's one of the largest, strongest, and most stable joints in your body. It's what's known as a ball-and-socket joint—picture a tennis ball sitting snugly in a cup-shaped socket. In your case, the round head of your femur (thigh bone) fits neatly into a socket in your pelvis called the acetabulum. This clever design lets your hip move freely in many directions, helping you dance, squat, and chase after runaway toddlers.
Several key structures live in the front of your hip, and when they're strained, irritated, or injured, they can start causing trouble—hello, pain!
First up are your hip flexor muscles, which help you lift your knee towards your chest. These include the iliopsoas (a combination of the psoas and iliacus muscles), the rectus femoris (part of your quadriceps), and the sartorius. They're hard-working muscles that you use every day—when you walk, run, climb stairs, or accidentally step on your dog's squeaky toy.
There's also the acetabular labrum, a ring of cartilage around the socket that adds stability and gives your joint that nice, snug fit. Unfortunately, it can get torn from repetitive activities or injuries, causing the joint to lose some of its smooth movement.
Surrounding your hip joint is the joint capsule, a tough, fibrous tissue that holds everything in place and produces fluid to keep things gliding smoothly. Think of it like a waterproof jacket—keeping everything protected and cozy inside.
Running through this area are important nerves, including branches of the femoral nerve and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Nerves can get compressed or irritated, causing uncomfortable tingling, numbness, or pain.
Finally, we have tendons and bursae. Tendons attach your muscles to bones, while bursae are small, fluid-filled cushions that prevent friction between muscles, bones, and tendons when you move. When those bursae get irritated and inflamed, your hip will definitely let you know about it.
As Dr. Alison Grimaldi, a leading researcher in hip pain, explains: "Anterior hip pain is more likely to be related to the soft tissues if the pain is in the mid to lateral inguinal region, is aggravated by dynamic hip flexor function, and eases with rest." In simpler terms: if the front of your hip hurts when you're active but calms down when you rest, it's probably a muscle or tendon issue rather than something else.
Understanding these structures not only gives you a clear idea of what causes anterior hip pain, but it also helps you pinpoint exactly what's bothering you so you can get effective treatment.

What Causes Anterior Hip Pain?
Now that we have a good handle on the anatomy of the anterior hip region, let's unpack the specifics of what causes anterior hip pain. Pinpointing the exact cause of your discomfort is key to finding the right solutions and getting back to your active lifestyle.
Anterior hip pain can stem from several conditions—muscle and tendon issues, joint-related problems like hip impingement or arthritis, stress fractures, and even nerve-related or referred pain from elsewhere in your body. Let's explore each of these common culprits in more detail.
Muscle and Tendon Issues: What Causes Anterior Hip Pain?
Muscle and tendon injuries are among the most common reasons people experience pain at the front of the hip, especially if you're physically active or recently increased your exercise routine.
Hip Flexor Strains
One classic example is a hip flexor strain, which occurs when the muscles at the front of your hip (like your iliopsoas or rectus femoris) are overstretched or torn. Athletes—particularly runners, soccer players, and martial artists—often experience these strains due to explosive movements. But even weekend warriors or people who sit for most of the day can have trouble here, since prolonged sitting can shorten and tighten these muscles.
If you have a hip flexor strain, you might feel a sharp pain when lifting your knee toward your chest or stretching your hip backward. Afterward, that sharp pain might settle into a dull achy feeling.
Iliopsoas Syndrome
Another closely related issue is iliopsoas syndrome, also known as iliopsoas tendinopathy. Your iliopsoas muscle is one of your main hip flexors, and it can become irritated and inflamed from overuse. You may notice pain in your groin that worsens when you lift your thigh upwards. Some people even experience a snapping or clicking feeling, known as "internal snapping hip."
Research shows this condition often develops because of a combination of overloaded hip flexors and weakness in the gluteal muscles. Strengthening your glutes and properly conditioning your hip flexors—beyond just stretching—can make a huge difference here. A clinical study published in Sports Medicine confirms the link between glute strength and hip flexor health, emphasizing the need for balanced conditioning.
Case Study: The Marathon Runner with Anterior Hip Pain
Sarah, a 32-year-old marathoner, came to us at Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation with an achy, nagging pain at the front of her right hip. It bothered her most when running uphill or when starting a run. After evaluating Sarah, we found tight hip flexors and weak glutes were causing her discomfort. With just a few weeks of targeted strengthening and conditioning exercises, Sarah was back to pain-free running again.
Sarah’s experience is a great example of why addressing muscle imbalances—not just focusing on the painful spot—is key to healing anterior hip pain.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI): What Causes Anterior Hip Pain?
Femoroacetabular impingement—or FAI—is another common cause of anterior hip pain, particularly in younger, athletic individuals. In FAI, extra bone growth causes the hip joint to rub abnormally, especially during movements like bending your hip deeply or rotating inward.
There are three types of FAI:
Cam Impingement occurs when the femoral head (the ball part of your joint) isn't shaped quite right.
Pincer Impingement happens when the hip socket (acetabulum) extends too far over the femoral head.
Mixed Impingement is a combination of both cam and pincer types.
If you're experiencing FAI, you'll probably notice a deep, aching pain in your groin or front hip region. This pain often worsens with activities like sitting for extended periods, squatting, or even simple tasks like tying your shoelaces. You might also feel stiffness and limited range of motion. The FADDIR test (Flexion, ADduction, Internal Rotation) is a common clinical test we use to identify FAI. Pain during this movement is typically a sign of impingement.
Studies, like this detailed one on FAI in athletes, have found FAI particularly common in younger athletes. Interestingly, many patients don't remember a specific injury or trauma, making diagnosis a bit trickier.
Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Conditions
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a well-known contributor to anterior hip pain, especially in adults over age 45. With OA, the protective cartilage inside your joint wears down over time. This can cause stiffness, pain (particularly after sitting or resting), and a noticeable decrease in your hip's range of motion. Arthritis pain is usually gradual and worsens with activity.
Interestingly, x-rays and MRI findings don't always correlate perfectly with pain levels. Some people may have significant arthritis on imaging but feel relatively little pain. Others might experience severe discomfort even with mild joint changes. As research published in the Journal of Arthritis shows, OA affects nearly one in four adults in their lifetime. So, it's both common and complex—another reason why treating the whole person, rather than just the joint, is crucial.
There's also a strong connection between untreated FAI and the progression of osteoarthritis. Early intervention to address FAI may help you avoid or delay arthritis down the road.
Stress Fractures and Bone Conditions
The bones of your hip can also cause pain—especially if you're an athlete or someone who suddenly ramps up exercise intensity. Stress fractures in the hip, particularly the femoral neck, typically develop slowly from repetitive stress rather than a single traumatic incident.
At first, you might notice pain only during activity, but eventually, it can become constant and even disrupt your sleep. Stress fractures need prompt diagnosis and treatment since they can lead to serious complications if ignored.
Risk factors include low bone density, poor footwear, and intense training. One of our patients, a 35-year-old endurance runner, initially had negative x-rays but was later diagnosed with a femoral neck stress fracture through MRI, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis and appropriate imaging.
Nerve Entrapment and Referred Pain
Sometimes, what causes anterior hip pain isn't actually in your hip at all—it could be nerve-related or referred pain from your back.
For instance, irritation of your L2 spinal nerve can produce pain in the front of the hip even without significant back symptoms. Similarly, compression of nerves like the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (causing a condition called meralgia paresthetica) can bring burning pain, tingling, or numbness to your anterior thigh and hip.
Nerves such as the ilioinguinal or genitofemoral nerves might also get pinched or irritated after abdominal surgery, causing pain that radiates to the front of your hip.
Conditions affecting your lumbar spine—like herniated discs or facet joint issues—can send referred pain down into your hip region. Sometimes, the hip pain shows up without noticeable back discomfort, making these nerve-related conditions tricky to pinpoint.
As noted in research from the National Institutes of Health, nerve involvement is a common yet misunderstood cause of anterior hip pain.
Bottom line—pain is your brain’s way of telling you something's off, even if the source is somewhere else entirely. That's why thorough evaluation from a skilled therapist or physician is crucial.
Understanding what causes anterior hip pain is the first step toward effective treatment. Next, we'll dive into how we diagnose these conditions here at Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, so you can get back to doing what you love.
Diagnosing Anterior Hip Pain
If you're experiencing nagging pain in the front of your hip, pinpointing what causes anterior hip pain can feel tricky. At Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, we know the importance of accurate diagnosis—it's the foundation for effective treatment and lasting relief.
Our approach combines a careful patient interview, detailed physical examination, and, when needed, advanced imaging. Here's what you can expect during the diagnostic journey.
Patient History
Understanding your personal story is the first step. We'll sit down together and go over your experience in detail. Questions we'll ask include when your pain started and if there was a specific injury or if the pain came on gradually. We also want to know about the activities or movements that make the pain better or worse.
For example, does your pain increase when sitting for long periods or when climbing stairs? Do you notice clicking or catching sensations? Morning stiffness? Have you had previous hip injuries or surgeries?
These details are clues that guide us toward the root cause. If your pain worsens with prolonged sitting, we may suspect early stages of osteoarthritis. Sharp pain with quick movements or certain sports might point toward a muscle strain or labral tear.
Physical Examination
After learning your story, we'll move onto a thorough physical exam. First, we'll take a good look at your posture and watch how you walk and move. Then we'll gently press around your hip to find tender spots and assess your hip's range of motion in all directions—looking for restrictions or discomfort.
We'll also test the strength of your hip muscles. Weakness or imbalance in certain muscle groups can contribute to anterior hip pain, so identifying these areas helps us design an effective treatment plan.
Physical Tests
To zero in further on what causes anterior hip pain, we use specialized tests. The FADDIR test (Flexion, Adduction, Internal Rotation) helps us detect femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). If you feel pain when we gently move your hip into certain positions, it suggests impingement issues.
Similarly, the FABER test (Flexion, Abduction, External Rotation)—also called the Patrick test—puts your hip in a "figure-4" position and helps us identify problems within the hip joint or surrounding areas like sacroiliac joint dysfunction or iliopsoas tendon issues.
We'll also perform the Thomas test to check for tight hip flexors. Tightness can significantly contribute to anterior hip pain, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting.
Lastly, we might include a straight leg raise test to help determine if your pain is truly from the hip or referred from your lower back.
Imaging Techniques
Sometimes, the physical examination alone doesn't tell the full story. In these cases, imaging helps us peek beneath the surface to clarify the diagnosis.
We usually start with X-rays, which provide a picture of the bones in your hip and pelvis. These images help us spot joint space narrowing—which would point toward osteoarthritis—or any unusual bone shapes or growths related to conditions like FAI. Typically, healthy hips show about 4 mm of cartilage space, and less than that might suggest cartilage degeneration.
If we suspect issues involving soft tissues such as labral tears, muscle injuries, or stress fractures, we'll recommend an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). MRIs capture detailed images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone stress reactions—all things X-rays can't fully show.
Sometimes, a specialized version of MRI called Magnetic Resonance Arthrography (MRA) is used. This involves injecting a contrast solution directly into the hip joint, highlighting subtle labral tears or cartilage damage. According to research, MRAs are around 90% accurate in identifying labral tears.
In certain cases, we may use diagnostic injections guided by ultrasound. If injecting a local anesthetic into your hip joint temporarily improves your pain, it strongly suggests the pain originates from within the joint itself.
It's important to remember: imaging findings don't always exactly match your symptoms. Studies have found that over half of people with no hip pain still had labral tears visible on imaging. That's why at Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, we always combine imaging results with your history and physical exam to find the true cause of your pain.
By taking this holistic approach, we can confidently uncover what causes anterior hip pain in your specific case—and get you started on a treatment plan custom just for you.
Treatment Options for Anterior Hip Pain
Once we've identified exactly what causes anterior hip pain in your unique situation, we can create a targeted plan that gets you back to feeling your best. At Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, we understand that no two hips (or people!) are exactly alike. Treatment should reflect your goals, lifestyle, and the specific condition behind your pain.
Let's take a closer look at your treatment options, starting with conservative measures and moving toward more specialized care if needed.
Conservative Management
For most cases of anterior hip pain, conservative approaches work wonders and are usually our first recommendation.
Rest and Activity Modification are essential in the early stages. This doesn't mean total bed rest, though—just being smart about reducing or temporarily avoiding movements that aggravate your symptoms. For example, if you have FAI, you'll want to avoid deep squats or hip flexion movements that trigger your pain. If it's a hip flexor strain, shortening your stride or easing off your running mileage might be the answer.
We also recommend simple measures like ice and heat. Ice is excellent right after an injury or flare-up—it calms inflammation and reduces pain. For chronic or stiff hips, heat can ease muscles and improve blood flow.
And if sitting is triggering your discomfort (hello, office workers!), adjusting your sitting posture can make a surprising difference. Sit with your back fully against the chair to reduce hip flexor load, use a higher seat or wedge cushion, and—most importantly—take regular breaks to stand and gently move around.
At Evolve, we're big believers in the phrase, "Motion is Lotion!" Gentle movement actually helps your hip recover faster than complete immobilization.
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Physical therapy is truly the cornerstone of recovery when dealing with anterior hip pain. At Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, we'll start by conducting a thorough assessment to pinpoint exactly what's driving your pain. We'll then craft an individualized treatment plan to address your unique symptoms and goals.
Our hands-on techniques, like soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and myofascial release, ease tension and restore mobility. These manual treatments help loosen tight hip muscles and improve joint movement so you can move more freely again.
We also build a customized therapeutic exercise program for you. Depending on exactly what causes anterior hip pain for you, exercises may include:
Hip flexor stretches and gluteal strengthening if a muscle imbalance or tendon issue is at play.
Hip stability exercises, careful movement retraining, and hip rotator strengthening if you have FAI or a labral tear.
Gentle, low-impact strengthening and range-of-motion work for osteoarthritis, possibly including aquatic therapy sessions for additional comfort and support.
We also focus heavily on neuromuscular re-education—teaching your muscles and nerves to work together correctly to prevent future issues. Functional training then helps you gradually return to the activities you love, whether that's running marathons or just comfortably walking the dog around the block.
In fact, research published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy showed that patients with FAI experienced significant improvements in both pain and function after just six weeks of targeted physical therapy compared to those who didn't receive PT.

Medications and Pain Management
Sometimes, medication can help manage symptoms effectively while you're working on longer-term solutions.
Over-the-counter NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), like ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve), can ease pain and inflammation, but should generally not be relied upon for ongoing, long-term use. We usually advise against taking NSAIDs in the first 48 hours after an acute injury, as this could interfere slightly with your body's natural healing process.
Topical analgesics—those creams or gels with menthol or capsaicin—can soothe pain right at the source and usually have fewer side effects than oral medications.
In some cases, doctors may recommend targeted injections. Corticosteroid injections can reduce inflammation temporarily, but these are typically limited in frequency due to potential cartilage concerns. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are another exciting option, using your body's own components to promote natural healing, especially for early arthritis or certain tendon issues.
When to Consider Surgical Intervention
While conservative methods successfully address most cases of anterior hip pain, sometimes surgery becomes an appropriate consideration. We usually discuss surgical options if you've tried a solid course of conservative treatment without enough improvement, or if there's clear structural damage that won't heal without some surgical help.
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical option often used for labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement, or other intra-articular problems. This procedure uses tiny incisions, small instruments, and a camera, meaning faster recovery and less pain afterward.
For more severe structural issues, like displaced stress fractures of the femoral neck, surgeons typically perform a fracture-fixation procedure, using screws or pins to stabilize and heal the bone properly.
And for advanced osteoarthritis that's not responding to other treatments, hip replacement is an effective, well-established option. Today's technologies and techniques have made hip replacement outcomes better and recovery quicker than ever before.
Surgical treatments often have very positive outcomes. For instance, studies show approximately 90% of patients with sports hernia (a commonly misdiagnosed cause of anterior hip pain) return to full activity after surgical repair.
At Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, we're dedicated to helping you understand exactly what causes anterior hip pain in your specific situation and providing clear, compassionate guidance to get you feeling better—whether that involves rest, rehab, or something more specialized.
Preventing Anterior Hip Pain
As much as we love seeing our patients at Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, we'd be even happier if you never experienced anterior hip pain in the first place. Thankfully, some simple lifestyle and exercise adjustments can significantly lower your risk. Here are the key strategies we recommend to keep your hips healthy and pain-free:
Keep Your Hips Strong and Flexible
Balanced strength and flexibility are essential. Pay special attention to strengthening the muscles around your hips, especially your gluteal muscles and core. Strong glutes and a stable core help support your hips and reduce the load on your hip flexors.
Flexibility is important too—but don’t overdo it. While some stretching is beneficial, excessive stretching (especially of the hip flexors) can actually worsen hip pain. As hip specialist Dr. Alison Grimaldi wisely points out, "Many people are stretching the hip flexors and placing high loads on the front of the hip unnecessarily, often worsening their problem." Aim for comfortable, gentle stretches that complement strengthening exercises.
Practice Good Technique and Movement Patterns
Proper technique isn't just for athletes; it matters in everyday movements too. Whether you're lifting weights, running, doing yoga, or just picking something up off the floor, using correct form protects your joints and muscles. If you're unsure about your form, consider working with a coach, trainer, or physical therapist who can help you move safely and efficiently.
Train Smart, Recover Smart
It's tempting to push yourself hard, especially when you're motivated to reach a fitness goal. But gradual, progressive training is key for preventing injury. Slowly increase your training intensity and duration, and always include plenty of recovery time between workouts. Cross-training (mixing different types of exercise like swimming, cycling, and strength training) is an excellent way to avoid overusing the same muscles and joints.
Listen to Your Body (It's Smarter Than You Think)
Minor discomfort is your body's gentle way of saying, "Hey, something isn't quite right." Instead of ignoring these warning signs, pay attention and take action before they escalate. Address small aches early, modify your activity temporarily if needed, and seek professional advice if pain persists. Early intervention can make a huge difference in preventing chronic problems.
Support Your Bone Health
Healthy bones mean healthy hips. Keep your bones strong and resilient by ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake and engaging in regular weight-bearing exercise (walking, jogging, weight training). For some individuals at higher risk of osteoporosis, consulting with a healthcare provider for additional guidance makes sense.
Set Up an Ergonomic Workspace
If you spend significant time sitting, optimizing your workstation ergonomics is crucial. Use a chair with proper lumbar support, adjust your seat height to keep your hips level with your knees, and take short breaks regularly to stand, stretch, and move around. A standing desk or adjustable desk converter can also help reduce prolonged sitting stress on your hips.
At Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, we believe an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure. Incorporating these simple strategies into your daily routine can help keep anterior hip pain at bay, so you can continue doing the activities you love without interruption.
Frequently Asked Questions about Anterior Hip Pain
How can I tell if my anterior hip pain is serious?
Figuring out what causes anterior hip pain can be tricky, since many hip issues aren't serious at first. But here's the thing—some signs mean you shouldn't wait to get checked out.
If you're having severe pain that doesn't ease up, trouble putting weight on your leg, or pain that wakes you up at night, it's time to see a professional. You also shouldn't ignore hip pain if it comes with symptoms like fever, unexplained weight loss, or significant swelling and redness around the hip.
Pain following a fall or trauma, or any numbness, tingling, or sudden weakness in your leg, can point to something serious like a fracture or nerve issue. At Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, we always advocate for being proactive—your health and mobility are too precious to gamble with!
Can lower back issues cause anterior hip pain?
Absolutely! You might be surprised to learn that sometimes what causes anterior hip pain isn't even coming from your hip at all—it's your back talking to you!
Lower back problems, like herniated discs, spinal stenosis (a narrowing in your spine), or facet joint issues, can send pain signals to the front of your hip. The reason is simple: nerves from the lower spine supply sensation to your hip and groin area.
So how can you tell the difference between true hip pain and pain referred from your back? Pain directly from your hip usually gets worse with specific movements—like rotating your hip or pulling your knee toward your chest. On the other hand, back-related pain might also show up as discomfort in your lower back or cause numbness and tingling down your leg.
At Evolve, our experienced therapists carefully evaluate both your hip and lower back to get to the bottom of your pain, because treating the true source is key to lasting relief.
What exercises can help prevent anterior hip pain?
Preventing anterior hip pain is about building strength, stability, and mobility where you need it most. The right exercises can help you stay active, pain-free, and keep you away from problems down the road.
For starters, gluteal strengthening is king. Exercises like bridges—where you lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat, and lift your hips while squeezing your glutes at the top—are simple yet powerful. Clamshells are another favorite: lying on your side with knees bent, you slowly lift your top knee, focusing on controlled movements to build hip stability.
Core stability is equally important. Planks are a classic for good reason—holding your body straight in a push-up position (either on your hands or forearms) strengthens your core muscles, which support your hips and spine. Bird-dog exercises, where you're on hands and knees and reach opposite arm and leg outward, also build stability in a safe, effective way.
Good hip mobility can prevent tightness that leads to pain. Gentle movements like controlled hip rotations, standing on one leg and rotating the other leg in and out, or slow hip circles are terrific for keeping your joints fluid and happy.
Finally, functional movements like proper squats (keeping your knees tracking over your toes, weight in your heels, and chest lifted) and step-ups onto a low platform help train your body to move efficiently, reducing unnecessary stress on your hips.
Of course, the best exercise plan is one custom specifically to you. At Evolve Physical Therapy + Sports Rehabilitation, we never hand out cookie-cutter programs—we carefully assess your body's unique strengths and limitations to build a personalized routine that actually works.
Whether you're dealing with hip pain right now or just looking to stay ahead of potential issues, we've got your back (and your hips)!
