Hip Pain
Lower Back Issues and Referred Pain
Hip discomfort doesn’t always originate from the hip itself. It can often be a case of referred pain, where the real issue lies in the lower or middle back. Conditions like strains or sprains in the thoracic-lumbar (T/L) region are known to cause hip pain even when the back itself shows no immediate symptoms.
Arthritis and Hip Degeneration
Over time, arthritis can develop in the hip joint, though it doesn’t always present with pain at first. The body often compensates for mild joint degeneration, but as arthritis progresses, pain may begin to surface. Our chiropractor can help manage arthritis symptoms by ensuring the hip and surrounding muscles function correctly, which allows your body to adapt more effectively and reduces discomfort.
Injury and Overuse
For the hip to function without discomfort, its muscles and joints must work harmoniously. However, injuries to muscles around the hip or joint misalignments can disrupt this balance, leading to pain and limited movement.
By identifying and targeting specific muscle or joint issues, chiropractic adjustments can restore normal function. Additionally, hip joint adjustments may alleviate pinched areas in the joint itself, reducing discomfort and promoting natural movement.
