Chiropractic Care for Hip Pain

What Is Hip Pain?

Hip pain refers to discomfort, soreness, or stiffness experienced in or around the hip joint. It can result from a range of issues, such as muscle strains, ligament sprains, joint inflammation, or structural abnormalities. Common conditions associated with hip pain include arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, or even hip fractures. Certain groups, like athletes, active individuals, and older adults, are more prone to hip pain due to overuse, injury, or the aging process.

Why Does Hip Pain Occur?

The causes of hip pain stem from various factors that affect the hip joint and surrounding tissues. These include:

• Repetitive overuse or strain on muscles and tendons due to activities like running or cycling.
• Injuries or trauma, such as falls, accidents, or direct impact to the hip.
• Degenerative changes in the joint, often from aging or conditions like osteoarthritis.
• Improper posture or movement mechanics that create uneven stress on the joint.
• Muscle imbalances, which can compromise hip stability and lead to discomfort.

By understanding these causes, you can take steps to reduce risk, address discomfort, and seek appropriate treatment.

How Can We Help With Hip Pain?

We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your hip, assessing its range of motion, strength, and posture, while checking for signs of swelling or tenderness. We also analyze your movement patterns and perform a gait analysis to identify any biomechanical issues contributing to your discomfort.

Once we determine the cause of your hip pain, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan focused on relieving pain, restoring function, and improving mobility. This plan may include manual adjustments and soft tissue therapies to address tight muscles and stiff joints, reducing pain and inflammation. Physical therapy exercises will be incorporated to strengthen the muscles around the hip, improve flexibility, and enhance joint stability.

To support your recovery, we’ll provide lifestyle recommendations, such as adjusting activity levels, improving posture, and using proper body mechanics to prevent further strain on the hip. Preventative care will also be included, with specific exercises and stretches to help you move safely and avoid reinjury.
