Effective Hip Pain Chiropractic Relief

Common Causes of Hip Pain

There are many different causes of hip pain because the hip is involved in so many movements. Disease, nerve dysfunction, or overuse are just a few categories these causes fall into. The following three conditions are indicative of these categories. Plus, they are also very common in our patients.

Bursitis, Tendinitis, and Muscle Strain

The hip joints are cushioned by fluid-filled sacs called bursae. Bursae can grow thicker as it becomes inflamed, just like tendons can. When this occurs, it’s called bursitis and is usually the result of restricting movement and repetitive motion.

Repetitive motions like sports and heavy lifting are common causes of hip pain. The hip is surrounded by major muscles, the lower abdomen, and hip flexors since the hip is a joint and not a muscle. Extreme pain can be caused when one of these becomes strained.

Hip pain that is related to muscle strain is called tendinitis. The tendons connect muscles through fibrous sections of connective tissue. A condition where the tendons become inflamed and thickened is called tendonitis and usually occurs from injury or repetitive motion. This condition can make moving or using the hip joint difficult as well as cause extreme pain.

Arthritis

The condition where the joint space between two bones narrows is called arthritis. Ordinary “normal wear and tear” is a common form of arthritis called Osteoarthritis. Aging is a significant cause of this form of arthritis. Our hip pain chiropractor here at Health From Within also states that younger people may develop this condition if they are overweight or engage in many repetitive motions involving the hip joint. 

An autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the hip joint is called rheumatoid arthritis. This attack from the immune system causes pain and inflammation. In addition to age and weight, this condition can also be linked to family history and environmental exposure.

Sciatica

An irritated sciatic nerve causes sciatica pain. With this condition, you may experience sharp, shooting pain that travels from the hip on one side and down your leg. Because of this condition, some of our patients here at Health From Within have also reported painful toes and feet.

Hip Pain Symptoms

Because the cause of hip pain can vary greatly, our patients here at Health From Within have many different symptoms and have sought relief through chiropractic for hip pain. Common areas of pain can be found in or around the hip joint, the groin, the buttocks, and along the legs. Some patients may experience pain that radiates from other areas to the hip area. The hips directly impact how our patients function or feel. Other common symptoms we hear in conjunction with hip pain often include pain in the feet, ankles, or knees. 

There can be a variety of causes of pain anywhere in the body. Our chiropractor for hip pain here at Health From Within most commonly hears hip pain described as feeling like aching, stabbing, zapping, shooting, and all-consuming. Any of the three leading causes of hip pain described earlier can be associated with aching and stabbing sensations. Miscommunication between the brain, nerve, body, sciatic, and other nerve tissues can cause zapping sensations. Nerve issues also cause pain that travels along the involved nerve and is felt like shooting pains.

Our patients here at Health From Within can experience more than lost sleep at night due to hip pain. This pain can also make everyday life challenging by making it difficult to move. This can lead to limping as a result of compensatory movement. These compensations cause additional difficulties because they aren’t corrections. Through chiropractic for hip pain therapy at Health From Within, we can correct them by addressing the underlying hip condition

Our Chiropractic Can Alleviate & Even Eliminate Hip Pain 

Here at Health From Within, our hip pain chiropractic treatment focuses on more than just pain relief. Our treatment team uses a holistic approach and treats a routine follow-up as thoroughly as an initial consultation. Based on scientific research, we use several therapeutic modalities that focus on treating patients. 

One of our priorities is optimizing nerve function. Nerves serve as a vital communication system between the body and the brain. Information is sent to the brain about movement, position, and sensation. The critical information that makes movement and various life-sustaining functions possible is also relayed by nerves. 

Most people are not aware that the brain is involved in many complex and largely unconscious tasks like releasing hormones in a carefully orchestrated sequence, time, and blend along with controlling speech, movement, and walking. Three more areas that rely on healthy brain-nerve connections are digestion, heart rate, and breathing.

Nerves are essential for healing and overall critical for health. Here at Health From Within, our hip pain chiropractic interventions will help relieve hip pain and promote excellent nerve health. The brain and body can work together to promote healing and restore normal function when the nerves function appropriately. 

Our Hip Pain Treatment

Here at Health From Within, we take a multi-faceted approach to our chiropractic for hip pain treatment. Although our in-office procedures quickly reduce or relieve pain, the pain relief won’t last without a program dedicated to lifestyle management. Because of this, our hip pain chiropractors offer home interventions that have the added benefit of improving your overall health. This allows our patients to be better equipped to deal with any other health challenges they may face outside of hip pain. 

We here at Health From Within, try to provide our patients with the benefits of the advancements from the latest scientific research. We carefully examine the research supporting each intervention before bringing it to our office even though it is tempting to rely on other chiropractors’ materials or manufacturers' equipment. 

Our new patients at Health From Within are always astonished by the questions asked. However, these prying questions have the purpose to treat and diagnose pain even though it isn’t an isolated event. When we are aware of the factors contributing to pain then we can begin to pinpoint the causes and create your personal treatment plan.

In addition, we also perform movement and various function tests including running scans if necessary. Getting a detailed picture of a patient’s body, healing resources, and overall health is the priority. We then begin treatment once we get to know the patient really well.

Hands-On Treatments

Chiropractic adjustment and massage are some of the most popular hands-on treatments. Strategically moving joints using our hands to reduce misalignment that causes nerve dysfunction is what we do when we adjust a patient here at Health From Within. Pain can be correctly perceived when normal nerve function is restored. The blood vessels carry healing nutrients from food and oxygen to the area by the nerves. Therefore, chiropractic treatment is vastly benefited by massage. The main goal of massage is to relax tense muscles and increase blood flow. 

Healthier Choices Counseling

We make recommendations on nutrition and lifestyle choices for each individual patient here at Health From Within. From our experience, patients can make progress toward their health goals when they have a realistic program. Even if you search the internet for a “chiropractor for hip pain near me,” you will not find all the services we offer in this area.
