Hip Pain

Hip pain is one of the most common complaints reported and treated at DSM Core Chiropractic + Pain Therapy. The physical structure of the hip includes bone, muscle, cartilage, tendon, fascia and nerves, with each playing a different role in the development of pain. Some of the most common hip conditions include sprain or strain, tendonitis, arthritis, sciatica, bursitis or labral tear. Many types of hip pain are a result of an acute injury whereas others can persist for years. Properly diagnosing the correct type of hip pain from the start is essential in treatment success.

The most common symptoms of Hip Pain

  • Pain in the hip joint
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the hip
  • Pain in the groin area
  • Pain that radiates down the thigh or knee
  • Difficulty walking or standing
  • Clicking or popping sounds when moving the hip
  • Swelling or tenderness around the hip joint
  • Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or standing
  • Numbness or tingling in the hip or leg.

Treatment of Hip Pain

Chiropractic care can be an effective approach to treating hip pain due to the hands-on nature of treatment. Common symptoms of hip pain include discomfort in the hip joint, groin, thigh, or buttocks, and difficulty with walking, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time.

 

At DSM Core, we specialize in the deep tissue therapy Myofascial Release, which can help reduce tight muscles and fascia and remove tension on the large nerves in the hip. In addition to Myofascial Release, chiropractic adjustments can help restore range of motion and function to the hip joint. Depending on the type and severity of the hip pain, rehabilitation exercises, stretching, and discussions of proper biomechanical form may also be necessary for a comprehensive treatment plan.

 

If your hip pain requires further investigation, our chiropractic clinic can order any necessary imaging studies, such as x-rays or MRIs. Our team takes a focused, individualized approach to care, with same-day and next-day appointments available to get you started on the path to relief. At DSM Core, you can expect hands-on care throughout your appointment, all performed by the doctor.
