Hip Pain

Hip pain may be caused by hip joint dysfunction , which occurs when your hip doesn't move as smoothly as it should, leading to stiffness and discomfort. Picture a well-oiled hinge that allows a door to open and close effortlessly. Now, imagine that the hinge starts to rust, causing the door to creak or get stuck. This is what happens with hip joint dysfunction. Symptoms can include pain in the hip or groin area, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Walking or climbing stairs might exacerbate these symptoms. 

Causes for hip joint dysfunction include prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, or previous injuries. Sometimes hip pain comes on gradually. Our providers are specialized to help determine the root cause of your symptoms.

Fortunately, our office can help restore motion with chiropractic manipulation and therapeutic exercises. To avoid further strain, try to avoid sitting cross-legged. Consider wearing supportive shoes and taking breaks from prolonged sitting or standing.
