Our hips are used with every step that we take. We use them when we bend down, squat, stand up, and sit down. The hips are complicated ball and socket joints, and damage to them can cause pain and discomfort. At Innovative Chiropractic Clinic in Swansea IL, our chiropractor has been performing adjustments to relieve our patients’ hip pain for many years.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
There are a variety of conditions that lead to hip pain. When you first visit our office, our chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system to determine the root cause of your hip pain. Causes of hip pain often identified by our chiropractor include:
- Osteoarthritis, which is when wear and tear on the hip joint cause cartilage to wear down.
- Bursitis is caused by friction that is caused when the ball of the femur moves inside the socket of the joint.
- Muscle strain due to overuse or traumatic injury.
- Transient osteoporosis affects pregnant women and men of middle age.
After the root cause of your pain and immobility has been determined, we will create a chiropractic care plan to address it.
Chiropractic Care for Hip Pain
Many hip pain symptoms areal caused by misalignment of the spine. When the spine is out of alignment, the body does not carry weight effectively, placing unnecessary strain on the hips. By restoring your body’s natural alignment, our chiropractor will reduce your hip pain, improve your range of motion, and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Many of our patients seek chiropractic treatment for hip pain because it does not involve prescription medication or invasive surgery. Adjustments performed by our chiropractor will vary depending on the cause, location, and severity of your hip pain.
