Hip Pain

Hip pain can happen to anyone at any time, and can take many forms. Pain can be experienced in the front of the hip, in the sides or even in the back, around the buttocks. The source of the pain often determines the intensity of the pain and where it is felt. Here are some of the things that can cause hip pain and some chiropractic solutions that can help.

Causes of hip pain

Hip pain is usually not the result of a single problem. Most often it has several origins, including:

Bursitis – A fluid-filled sac called a bursa surrounds the joints. It helps to reduce friction and cushion the joint, but when it becomes inflamed it leads to bursitis.
Osteoarthritis – This is a degenerative process of the cartilage surrounding the joints, often the result of normal wear and tear.
Muscle overload or strain – If you are physically active or athletic, this is a common problem. Subjecting your body to the same movements for long periods can cause your hip muscles to bruise or tear.
Transient osteoporosis – This is a reversible but painful condition that affects some pregnant women and middle-aged men.

Chiropractic Solutions

If you are looking for a solution to your pain that does not involve pain medication or surgery, then chiropractic is the natural solution you are looking for. Chiropractic care at Chiropractic Center Nicolas FREY DC does not employ drugs or invasive procedures, but offers a natural path to healing. Even if you have a condition that cannot be fully resolved by chiropractic treatment, it can still help your symptoms subside.

Chiropractors can offer you:

Exercises and stretches – Your chiropractor can offer you a personalised exercise and stretching programme to help increase the range of motion in your hips and strengthen muscles, which can help speed healing.
Spinal adjustments – The goal of spinal adjustments is to eliminate or reduce spinal misalignments that could be the source of your hip pain or make it worse.
Lifestyle adjustments – If you are engaging in a behaviour that may be the cause of your hip pain, your chiropractor can help you identify it in order to offer real solutions to help you change this behaviour for better health.
Nutrition – Nutrition is an important part of overall health, and your chiropractor is trained to offer nutritional advice that can help you eat healthier. This can help you maintain a healthy weight that can reduce the strain on your hips and help speed your recovery.
