Can a Chiropractor Help with Hip Pain?

Hip pain, which often occurs hand in hand with back pain, affects millions of people. Many hip pain issues are efficiently and effectively treated with conservative care, but require confident diagnosis and knowledge of the therapy regimes that will lead to timely improvement and recovery.  At Sauk Prairie Chiropractic LLC, in Prairie Du Sac, WI, we have what is needed . . . the knowledge and experience to accurately diagnose the hip condition and the ability to employ the appropriate care regime.  We offer a number of non-invasive treatments. These can help you manage discomfort, restore mobility and function, and fix the root cause of your hip pain.

What Causes Hip Pain?

In some cases, hip pain has a clear cause. It may be due to direct injuries such as:

  • falling and breaking your hip
  • poor or incompletely healed surgery of the hips
  • injuries acquired while serving in the military
  • straining your hip at work or during sports
  • injuring your hip in a car accident

However, hip pain may also be related to more wide-spread conditions and body imbalances. These include:

  • spinal disc degeneration leading to nerve irritation
  • osteoarthritis degeneration of the cartilage of many joints
  • bursitis, an inflammation of the cushioning fluid-filled sacs around the joint
  • a weak back or poor posture placing excessive strain on your hips
  • lack of flexibility leading to tight, painful hip flexors
  • a spinal injury forcing your hips to overwork as the injury heals
  • sleeping on the wrong mattress, throwing the entire body out of alignment

There are also a number of hip specific conditions that respond well to chiropractic care:

  • trochanteric bursitis
  • piriformis syndrome
  • femoroacetabular impingement

Obviously, appropriate diagnosis is the key to good results.  Sauk Prairie Chiropractic, LLC, has the knowledge and experience others in this region do not.  Step number one . . . choose the best and correct chiropractor!

Chiropractic Solutions for Hip Pain

Your chiropractor will evaluate your condition and discuss with you your medical history and wellness goals. Based on this, a treatment plan can be tailored to your particular situation. This will likely include both in-clinic treatments and ‘homework’ assignments for you to increase your own wellness.

Some highly effective interventions for hip pain include:

  • spinal and extremity adjustments to help restore mechanical function
  • directed massage to reduce pain and cortisol level
  • gentle massage to increase circulation which, in turn, will accelerate recovery
  • stretches you can perform at home
  • exercises to shore up a weak back or damaged kinetic chain
  • lifestyle changes such as posture adjustments or sleeping on a more supportive mattress
  • nutritional counseling to maintain a healthy weight and give your body the nutrients it needs for healing
