Understanding Hip Pain
Hip pain can make walking, sitting, climbing stairs, exercising, and sleeping more difficult. Discomfort may be felt in the hip joint, groin, upper thigh, or outer buttock.
Pain around the hip can originate from the joint and surrounding soft tissues or may be referred from the lower back. A thorough evaluation is important for identifying the likely source of your symptoms.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Hip discomfort may develop gradually or appear after an injury. Common contributors include:
- Muscle strains and overuse
- Hip joint stiffness
- Bursitis and tendon irritation
- Arthritis and age-related joint changes
- Poor posture or movement patterns
- Prolonged sitting
- Sports and exercise injuries
- Restricted movement in the lower back or pelvis
- Sciatic nerve irritation
- Previous falls or auto accident injuries
A Personalized Approach to Hip Pain Care
Dr. David Bourree will evaluate your symptoms, posture, walking pattern, hip mobility, muscle strength, lower back, and health history before recommending care.
Depending on the source of your discomfort, treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilization, soft-tissue therapy, corrective exercises, stretching, strengthening, and ergonomic or lifestyle recommendations. If your symptoms suggest a condition requiring medical imaging or another specialist, an appropriate referral may be recommended.
