Hip Pain

How Our Chiropractors Can Help Hip Pain

Most modern and seasoned chiropractors focus on the spine as the ultimate source of pain. Therefore, they may conduct various exercises and treatments on the spine and back to alleviate hip pain. The type of pain treatment our chiropractor may use depends on the type and source of pain.

A recent study shows that the drop-table technique, a common chiropractic exercise for people with hip pain, yielded exemplary improvement in people suffering from hip pain. The drop table technique is a gentle method that improvises gravity to help make soft tissue adjustments across the body.

What Are the Common Causes of Hip Pain?

Complications often occur due to old age, personal injury, or other strenuous activity that may prove too much for your hips. Some of the most prominent culprits behind hip pain include:

Osteoarthritis and Inflammatory Diseases

Arthritis or Osteoarthritis is a condition where the joint across the human body becomes stiff, causing wear and tear. The result is immense pain, swelling, tenderness, and difficulty moving the hip.

This condition is common among older adults. Prompt chiropractic treatment can slow the progression of the disease and alleviate symptoms.

Inflammation

The structures and ligaments around the hip joint can experience inflammation due to an injury or illness. When the hip joint is full of blood and fluid, it becomes inflamed, causing significant pain.

Overuse Injuries

Heavy exercise or walking for long distances regularly can cause significant cartilage degeneration surrounding the hip joint. If left unchecked, the pain can progress and become unbearable. Chiropractic treatment, like massage therapy, promotes hip pain relief.

Trauma

Hip joint dislocation, pelvic injuries, and other direct traumas can cause trauma. In addition, trauma can happen in people across different age groups. The elderly may suffer hip trauma due to poor balance and brittle bones, while younger adults suffer the same, mainly due to falls and overuse.

How Our Chiropractors Can Help Alleviate Hip Pain

Even when the hip is not broken or dislodged, the muscles and ligaments in the hip area can get bruised, sprained, or strained due to common hip pain causes.

Depending on the cause of your pain, we can prescribe different chiropractic adjustments to help offer relief.
