The hip is a deep, powerful joint surrounded by thick layers of muscle and fascia connecting it to the lower back and pelvis. Because so many structures overlap there, pain felt in the hip can originate in the back, the deep hip muscles, or the fascia around the pelvis. That overlap is why hip pain is so often misread.

The upper neck and the base of the skull are dense with muscle and fascia that connect directly to the tissues covering the head.

The wrist is a real possible source — but it’s rarely the only place worth checking. The nerves supplying the hand travel a long route: from the neck, past the collarbone, through the shoulder and down the arm before reaching the wrist. Fascial tightness or restriction at any point along that path can irritate a nerve and produce hand symptoms, even when the wrist itself is fine.
