Hip Pain Treatment

Your hips have a very busy schedule. They help you walk, stand upright, bend, run, jump, sit, and do pretty much every other thing you do. They are so involved in our lives that we barely think about them – until hip pain sets in. Then, it becomes very apparent just how much we rely on them each day. In this guide, our team at Back On Track Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Birmingham shares some of the most common causes of hip pain and how chiropractic treatment can help.

What Causes Hip Pain?

As your hips are so involved in your life, there are plenty of reasons why you might experience pain. Injuries, overuse, and even aging can lead to the following causes of hip joint pain:

   • Misalignment

   • Sprain or strain

   • Bursitis

   • Osteoarthritis

   • Tight hip flexor

   • Dysplasia

   • Irritable hip syndrome

While hip joint pain can be due to an issue within the hip, it can also come from another area of the body. For example, sciatica can cause hip pain. Sciatica is a condition in which the sciatic nerve that begins in the lower back and runs down to the feet becomes compressed. It can lead to pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling in the hip, lower back, legs, and feet.

Chiropractic Care for Hip Pain

Chiropractic care is great for hip pain as it begins by determining exactly where the source of the pain is. That means that if it is due to an issue like sciatica, that root cause will be identified. Once the source of the pain has been determined, a customized treatment plan is developed utilizing natural techniques. Depending on the cause, your treatment plan could include any or all of the following.

   • Adjustments: If misalignment of the hip or lower back is responsible for your suffering, adjustments can help restore alignment.

   • Therapeutic exercise: Your chiropractor will recommend strengthening and stretching movements that help relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and rebuild damaged tissues.

   • Soft tissue techniques: From sprained ligaments to overuse of the bursa, tendons, or muscles, massage therapy and other soft tissue techniques can enhance healing, reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and increase your range of motion.
