Does hip pain mean you have a back or spine problem? While hip pain can often be linked to issues within the hip joint itself, it’s also possible for it to be a sign of a problem in your lower back or spine. Conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, or spinal stenosis can cause referred pain that travels to the hip area. If you’re unsure about the cause of your pain, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment options.
