Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can arise from various sources, and identifying the root cause is essential for effective treatment. Many of our patients experience hip discomfort related to pregnancy, as the body releases hormones that cause the pelvis to shift and widen in preparation for childbirth. These changes can create misalignment and strain on the surrounding muscles and ligaments, leading to pain during pregnancy and often persisting long after delivery.

Sports-related injuries are another common culprit. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, repetitive movements, sudden impacts, or overuse can strain the hip joint and surrounding structures. Runners, cyclists, and athletes in rotational sports like golf or tennis are particularly susceptible to hip issues.

Other causes include arthritis, bursitis, muscle imbalances, poor posture, and compensatory patterns from injuries elsewhere in the body. Sometimes, hip pain isn’t actually originating from the hip itself but is referred pain from the lower back or pelvis.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Your Hips

Our holistic approach to hip pain goes beyond simply masking symptoms. Using Applied Kinesiology muscle testing, we can identify exactly which areas of your body are out of balance and contributing to your hip discomfort. This allows us to create a targeted treatment plan specific to your needs.

Chiropractic adjustments can restore proper alignment and movement to the pelvis and hip joint, reducing pressure on nerves and allowing your body to heal naturally. For pregnancy-related hip pain, gentle adjustments, often with blocks and activator, can help realign the pelvis both during and after pregnancy, providing relief and supporting your body’s natural changes.

We often combine spinal and hip adjustments with remedial massage or fascial work to address tight muscles and soft tissue restrictions that may be contributing to your pain. For athletes, we focus on correcting biomechanical imbalances and supporting optimal joint function to help you return to your sport safely.
