Causes of Hip Pain

The hip joint is a ball and socket joint built to withstand the rigors of daily movements and stress levels. The hip joint is integral for several activities, such as running, bending, and standing. Damage to the hip joint can cause immense pain and significantly impact your ability to perform even the simplest tasks. While the most frequent cause of hip joint damage stems from injury, the following factors can also cause damage to your hip joint:

• Obesity
• Poor posture
• Underlying conditions, such as arthritis and bursitis
• Old injuries
• Genetics
• Spinal misalignment
• Spinal imbalance

Our Approach to Hip Pain

Our physical therapist understands how crucial the proper function of the hip is to motions ranging from simple to complex. Our first goal with physical therapy is to assess the underlying cause of your hip pain. We use advanced diagnostic tools, combined with our expertise, to evaluate your posture, gait, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to your hip pain.

Depending on the underlying cause of your hip pain, our physical therapist may recommend chiropractic adjustments to treat it. This technique can correct misalignments in the spine and joints contributing to hip pain, restoring your range of motion while preventing future pain flare-ups. Our physical therapist may also recommend physical therapy and other corrective care to improve your posture and strengthen your body. Doing this can help reduce the risk of future injury while boosting your body’s natural healing ability.
