Question 1

What causes hip pain?

Accepted Answer

Hip pain can result from groin pain (indicating joint problems) or surrounding pain (indicating soft tissue issues). Joint-related hip pain suggests osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, labral tears, or joint misalignment. Surrounding soft tissue pain often reflects bursitis, tendinitis, muscle strain, or nerve compression. The distinction is critical for proper treatment.

Question 2

What is the difference between groin pain and surrounding hip pain?

Accepted Answer

Groin pain originates from the hip joint itself and suggests intra-articular problems like osteoarthritis or labral pathology. Surrounding pain comes from muscles, tendons, and bursa around the hip joint, commonly causing greater trochanteric pain syndrome. Understanding the pain source guides treatment strategy—joint issues require different approaches than soft tissue problems.

Question 3

What hip conditions do you treat?

Accepted Answer

We treat hip osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip bursitis, tendinitis, piriformis syndrome, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, labral tears, sacroiliac joint dysfunction affecting hip pain, and muscle imbalances. Comprehensive evaluation determines the exact source of your hip pain for targeted treatment.

Question 4

How does chiropractic help hip problems?

Accepted Answer

Treatment includes hip joint adjustments and mobilization, soft tissue therapy for hip muscles and tendons, lumbar and pelvic evaluation (since dysfunction here affects hip biomechanics), and exercise rehabilitation. Our integrated approach addresses the root cause whether it's joint dysfunction, muscle imbalance, or referred pain from the spine.
